Default Looking for thoughts/experience with AAA roadside assistance

Car coming off CPO in a few months. Decided to pass on extending warranty. Seems like AAA is worth it for tows, jumps, etc.

Never been a member, this will be first car in a very long time out of a warranty.

Default I'd recommend AAA plus. never used it for the ar. Sometimes a long wait for a truck

been a member since 1986. Free membership, wife works there. Not sure if I would be a member if not. Does have other advantages beside towing.

Default AAA Plus is worth it, however I think you need to be a member

for a year before you can upgrade. I think AAA is money well spent, the discounts you get can pay for the membership.

Default AAA is the best...period.

Use their premium plan. In NY this gives you a tow to anywhere you want within 100 or so miles.

You also get to ask for a flatbed with no questions asked.

well worth the price. AAA has helped twice when the allroad has left us stranded.

Default I can't believe I ever made it through life without it!

I have AAA+ for both myself and my wife, and it is worth every penny. Whether a dead VW battery in Kallispell, MT, or keys locked in the pickup in the driveway, it's amazing how swiftly they extract us from our dumbness ;-)
