Emerency Assistance
From Bones46@webtv.net
I own a 2001 Accent GL and my Roadside Assistance ran out. I called to see if I can still be part of the assistance policy. They said yes but it is no longer free. Iwill have to pay for it. I hate to join AAA. Anybody ever still use the Roadside Assistance and pay? I dont plan to breakdown anytime soon. I just want to be sure and have peace of mind. Thanks,bob http://community.webtv.net/bones46/BobSeifertsWebPage0 http://community-2.webtv.net/bones46.../mailedD15.jpg |

It is much cheaper to buy a Road Atlas at Wally World and have the entire country for $5. I originally got the membership for my wife to have the road service. However, when our last vehicle broke down and we called for towing, we found out about the AAA fine print. It turns out that their towing only covers towing to the nearest "approved" facility. Well, we live in a rural area and the dealership that does work on my Chryslers is about 20 miles away. However, there is a local podunk garage three miles from my house. My minivan had a problem that this garage couldn't begin to address, but it didn't matter, AAA would only pay for 3 miles of the 20 mile trip. I then found out that my insurance included towing and their nearest "approved" garage (which couldn't handle the problem either) was 12 miles away so we got a lot more paid for the second time the vehicle had to be towed than we did the first time with AAA. Fortunately, the intermittent fuel pump was finally diagnosed and replaced and all was well. So, we plan to drop AAA when the current year expires as our insurance has better towing and now with the Hyundai, they have their own road service coverage. Matt |

I've used my AAA plenty of times and always have the vehicle towed to my house. No problems, no questions. AAA does not have an "approved facility". Methinks you have something mixed up Matt. I too live in a rural area and the coverage of the plan provides towing up to something like 100 miles for free. After that there's a per mile charge. We have the gold coverage so perhaps it's different from the basic coverage(?). -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |
