So I've had AAA for over 2 years and found myself in a dire situation. My car had died out while driving on a busy 50mph street. I called AAA and they told me 2 hr wait as they were busy. The angry officer informed me it had to go within a half hour and he called their own tow. What has been your experience with AA?

My regular insurance will re-imburse me for the tow. But the tow yard only took cash and it sat there for 2 days with storage fees. Their tow yard operation seemed like a total scam. It wasn't even a police arrest.
They contract out to local tow companies. Not their fault if they are super busy,a truck is in the shop etc. The cost of AAA is worth their Dmv work alone. I can go to AAA to register a car or spend a day at the DMV jumping through hoops
Half hour to 45 mins max. All of our situations have been serviced by AAA Missouri, and all experiences have been very positive. This includes a tow due to accident in the outskirts of the KC metro.

In CT, one can do this also; no AAA membership required.

The officer said it was going to cause a accident. I suspect that the tow company and that town have something going on.
Whats a push bumper?
You know the oversized big bumpers many patrol cars have in the front. Usually they're black.

Ive used AAA 3 times past year. All 3 times requested a flat bed for my jeep and each time arrived in 30 mins. I had my jeep towed 60 miles to my mechanic one time and i rode with the guy and he was cool we joked around. I need to renew next month worth every penny even if you dont use it. I have the premiere (highest tier
How could the tow place charge me for storage fees if they are closed Saturday and Sundays? On the plus side my friendly mechanic gave me a free tow to the shop and found it was a bad electrical relay in this 2000 Honda Civic.
Generally they are pretty good...
I would have recorded the officer saying that the car had to be moved and that it was a hazard which would cause an accident. I would have then let the officer have my car towed and submit my bill to AAA for reimbursement. If AAA will not reimburse, I would go through administrative appeals with AAA and, with the recorded officer's statement, apply for reimbursement through a supervisor. If AAA still did not pay, I would then sue AAA in small claims court.

Tow companies are total scumballs.

Kool, I can't record the officer. I live in Chicago. They have no "push bars". They never even asked me for my license. Their too busy sitting under the viaducts watching movies on their laptops.
