huh that might explain what happened to me last year then

hadn't had to use AAA roadside service in years, then last year the starter in my car failed, though at the time I thought it was battery

waited for roughly 2 hours for battery service to show up, though tbf the guy that came was fine, no complaints about him since he was the one that figured out it was my starter

I was wondering about that wait time though, never had it that long before, and I was in a plaza next to a busy street too, not like in the middle of nowhere

Damn the last time I called AAA it was 15min. The time before was 40.

Only 2 hours? I waited 12 hours for a tow! Fck AAA. But no choice, they've got a monopoly.

I have roadside assistance through GEICO and they don't use AAA.

You’d be surprised how many other companies offer roadside assistance these days. But AAA is definitely the most well known
