Lol I work in a shop, and while I’m not saying your wrong I would like to share a story. Had a customer get towed in, they were driving and got a flat. AAA came and swapped their spare on for them, shortly after they got another flat. Being out of spares they had it towed to the shop. 2 flats in one day same corner 2x in a row u got any guesses? Well when I get to it I notice the spare has a chunk knocked out of the inside of the wheel. I go to take the flat off and surprise! Fucking chunk out of the other wheel. 2 wheels with holes right through them! Caliper lost the lower bolt, so under braking it would pivot up on the upper bolt and wedge into the aluminum wheel so hard it blew a hole in it and locked up that corner. AAA came and swapped that wheel without going “hey ur fucking brakes are falling off” so I sort of doubt they will notice a missing valve stem lol. AAA also totaled my Audi last time they towed it with a single wheel strap and it let loose on the roll back, so I have VERY little faith in the roadside guys seeing anything lol.
Yea honestly I don’t blame them, their not paid to give a fuck. AAA responders get something ridiculous like 50 bucks a call, half the time their practically losing money to respond. plus every time I have used them it has been multiple hours wait. I cancelled AAA after the “mediator” tried to tell me to eat it when their operator totaled my car, to which I had to get the DOT numbers off the flatbed and chase their insurance my damn self. Id rather properly pay an honest tow company that actually cares lol. That experience left a REAL sour taste in my mouth.
Better hope u don’t have any troubles because the mediators will do everything they can to leave you holding the bag. He and the tow company owner both told me I cannot force them to go through insurance. To their dismay I fucking did! Car totaled out and got my 8 grand back, tow company only offered me 2500 which doesn’t even cover the reiger body kit it had on, nevermind the ac condenser it burst releasing freon into the atmosphere, the radiator it knocked the bottom out of or the oil coolers it wrecked that dumped all manner of fluids all over the place. I had a rotten experience and I recognize that’s not the norm, but how the company handled it told me all I needed to know!
Two days ago, our favorite plummers sent a dude who botched the job so badly. I smiled and paid the $4hundred plus bill. 8 am next morning I called the office and explained the job was botched. They sent out an experienced plumber who rolled his eyes and apologized immediately. He said he would redo all the work and hire an electrician to handle that part of their disaster and all would be paid by them.
Next day all was made right.
Guess I share that by way of saying, if I had cut them off then and there… I wouldn’t have gotten to see them make right…
And… thumbing that out… I have made your point: you gave AAA every opportunity to make right and they didn’t.

The subcontractors of their network are hit or miss, here in Miami there are always stories about them asking for tips and such after completing jobs.

Decades long membership. Zero trouble. Many saves. Worth it.
