Got stuck today on a ride from San Fernando to Venture.
Blowing fuses for the fuel pump.
Called AAA at 12:30 pm from Main Street in Ventura. You have to have a flatbed truck to tow, ok, you have to wait till 4pm. What the F***.
Send a regular truck, sorry it will damage the car. It hasn’t happened in the past when I’ve had it towed.

5pm on the phone with a supervisor, we don’t have the equipment, tow company said nobody wants to drive 50 miles to LA from Ventura.

They found a driver but doesn’t take passengers! That’s ok with you right? FU!

We can have someone there at 8am Sunday morning!

WTF never had an issue like this after 13 years a member, will not be a member for 14.

I counted on them being there, crawled under there car, found the problem, fixed in 10 minutes, Saturday night insurance jobs are to important to miss out on.

I use AAA at least once a year and it works great. They don’t have proprietary towing companies so it’s only as good as the towing companies in the area where you use it. I’m pretty sure the same thing would have happened to the original poster whether he had AAA or not. I had my 914 towed to the paint shop using AAA when it was 1/2 apart for painting and then back home. AAA Plus has 100 miles of no additional charge towing available for a little more. The standard membership with 3 miles isn’t enough for me.
