Anybody on here have AAA roadside assistance? If so ,how do you like it and have you had to use it. AT about 150.00 per year for two people seems like pretty good insurance

I have had it for the past 6 years and I will renew again this year.It has served us well.Just make sure the operator knows that you are driving a vette if you need a tow so they send a properly equipped tow vehicle.Good Luck.

I had it for a few years and ended up dumping it. On the rare occasions that I needed a tow I sat on the side of the road for hours. Once they sent me a hook after requesting a flatbed

A friend of mine runs a tow company and he told me that many tow companies won't do Triple A tows because of the poor level of compensation they receive from them. It's alot of wasted money when you figure how often you really need it.

I have roadside on my insurance at a cost of about $15 per year. Came in handy when the vette had the column lock issue. The car to be put on a flatbed and towed 50 miles. The tow bill (that was paid in full) was enough to pay for my roadside for 10 years. Its worth every penny.
