Alternatives to AAA?

[50]

Hello, I can't deal with AAA anymore and am looking for a new company for roadside assistance. What do you guys use besides AAA?

hmm, hadn't heard many people complain about AAA's service. They are all I've personally used, but you might check with your credit card company, I know I've been offered similar programs through them before.

Onstar?

Too bad you weren't in Canada, we have Canadian Tire roadside assistance. That's decent (and cheaper).

They will supposedly price-match AAA, and claim that (unlike AAA) they are more consumer-friendly.

My first thought was this thread is about Anti-Aircraft Artillery.

SAM's work quite a lot better.

A lot of cell phone providers offer RSA for $5-10 extra a month.

MOST insurance companies offer something similar with their policies and separately, as do cell providers (mentioned already) plus, there's the folowing:

I work for a towing company that tows for AAA and I deal with AAA on a daily basis, and they can be a royal pain. Sometimes they are ok, but alot of the dispatchers dont know what they are doing and often get the locations wrong or hold the calls for a long time then we get the members complaining to us because it took so long to get somebody to them.

You're not one of those people who purposely ran out of gas because of the high gas prices, so you could call roadside assistance, are you? 😉

I don't understand why you can't deal with AAA anymore.

bp motor club, you will need to google it yourself, however. I am too lazy

I was going to say that quitting drinking is for losers but then I realized....

Haven't complained about them because I gave up on their lousy service 15 years ago. For a very small cost I have towing on my auto policy.
