AAA - Anyone have it?
Every few months I get stuff from AAA wanting me to signup for their service. I got one this week and it cost around $15. That seems like a pretty good deal.
Does anyone have AAA here? If so, you like it? |

The towing coverage is cheap insurance against being stranded somewhere. I make use of it occasionally and, every time, I'm glad I have it.

I've had it since @ 1976. Saved my butt many times. I have the PLUS service and have been towed out of Overtown in Miami, the Sierras, and New Orleans along with other fun places....
I was with a friend when a tire blew out on her Explorer at midnight on I-10 in what seemed the middle of nowhere. They arrived in 30 minutes. I'll never cancel it. |

I have it also, and now I have coverage up to 100 miles for towing. I also have them for auto insurance. Yeah they cost a bit more, but I like their service since I had 2 teenagers with it who got into accidents, and now my last teenager before she goes to college. As long as I"m working and my wife is working, I don't plan to change.

Have it, use it, love it..
The hotel discounts alone pay for the annual dues. |

I have had it for years and probably used it one time. I wouldn't do without it.

I've got it, the towing alone is worth it, plus the discounts on hotels is actually pretty solid too.

We have the premium coverage and still cover our kids. It's cheap insurance against breakdowns. Plus as said before, the hotel discounts come in handy every once in a while

We have it here too. A bit of comfort knowing the girls have a way to get help if I'm not available. Used the tow to get the Mustang home once. They deposited it right into the garage for me. Great thing to have IMO.

I have had it for at least 10 years. They get the job done, but generally speaking the customer service is terrible here in the Chicago area. Nonetheless, I will probably never cancel--I have the extended towing as well.
The tow companies they contract with are paid a minimal amount--I hear this from everyone. Often times, that does not result in you being a priority. You can use it with any car that you are WITH, it does not have to be your car. This has helped friends and family many times. Jeff |

Many years back I got it for my wife as she traveld about 20 miles each way.(this was in pre cell era)
She had a couple flat tires changed and we once had a dead battery while traveling. Since then I now also have it. Getting too old to want to change out a flat tire in the rain or super cold weather or other possible problem on the side of the road. Working around cars most of my life. I have done plenty of car work including working in a buddies garage, but now its time to let others do it if possible. Heck I now do not even do my own oil changes I let my dealer do all that. |
