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 used to swear by AAA. They've helped me and my 911 and 914 a few times. But a little over a year ago the alternator failed in my Golf and a tire went flat simultaneously and it was winter so I said "screw this" and called them. I gave up waiting after 2 hours and found somebody else. AAA called 2 hours after that and said somebody was on the way. I assume it's a pandemic related job market issue and I hope it sorts itself out soon.
