    Let's go getting too specific. AAA has had such a financial impact negatively recently on my life because they refused to give me a tow after my upgrade and my 7-Day wait. I have escalated the situation all the way up to the president of my local office and have gotten ignored and also when answered called or implied that I'm a liar. At first I thought this was heaven-sent, then when it came to really fulfilling their duty and contract, thumbs down, absolute fail. Customer care is the pits. I'm now having to go to small claims court with them just to get what I'm owed.

    I had to call AAA when my car was dead in my driveway. Stephen showed up literally within 15 minutes of my service call. Realizing it was a starter issue and not just needing a jump, he called a tow truck and took care of all the arrangements for me. Having your car towed is a stressful event, and Stephen took all my anxiety out of this situation for me. He was incredibly pleasant and professional. AAA should be proud of having such an exemplary employee!

    I chose AAA out of a lack of choices for home insurance. They removed my multi policy discount from my home insurance policy (which I expected, I moved my auto insurance because it was ridiculously priced) and got a notice for payment. I'm mortgagee billed, so I expected that it was also sent to my mortgage company for payment. I heard/received nothing until 8/5 when I got a letter that said due to nonpayment, I'll be cancelled on 8/7. So I got on a call with my mortgagee and AAA and mortgagee issued an overnight check to AAA for the balance.

    A couple of days later, I received an email saying my policy cancelled. I expected that, since they gave me TWO days to handle this before cancellation, but I figured since it was overnighted, coverage would be backdated. A week later, I check to see if AAA has reinstated the policy. It still showed as cancelled. So I called AAA to verify if it just hadn't been updated yet, they advised no payment was in their system.

    So today, 8/14 I get back on a call with both AAA and mortgagee, mortgagee reissues ANOTHER check and asks if the policy will be reinstated once payment has been received. AAA advises no, they don't have any way to notify me that the payment has been received, I'll have to call to reinstate. I asked if I can authorize reinstatement, since HOW WILL I KNOW IF THE PAYMENT HAS BEEN RECEIVED IF I'M NOT TOLD? THEY SAID NO. I JUST NEED TO CALL. So for a company that has been around probably longer than most insurance companies in the US, I'm told I need to call every single day to reinstate my policy because they have no way to notify me if they received a check they should have received a week and a half ago. Go anywhere else but this failed excuse for a company. Anywhere else.

    I was stuck at midnight and couldn't get a hold of anyone at AAA -- just their automatic service, which would send me a form that I would attempt to fill out but then it would crash out. I spent over 2 hours trying to get a hold of a live agent - their AI kept directing me in circles because I was out of state, and when I finally connected with a live human, they connected me again with AI because they said I had the wrong region, even though it was their AI that connected me in the first place. Their system needs to get rid of automatic assistance - I've never had a worse or such an unsafe experience in my life.

    This is in regards to the service center. I have always had a great experience with Roadside anyone searching feedback on that. Our car broke down and we used roadside to have it towed to the Service Center on Hwy 55 in Durham. We suspected it was the fuel pump. They ran diagnostics and told us it was the PCM, they searched and searched and could not find a replacement part so left us to tow the undrivable car home. That is NOT the issue- it's a old car. We sold the car as is as we believed what AAA told us about the issue and the inability to find the part (why wouldn't they want the repair, right?). A man purchased the car willing to take on the challenge. The NEXT day he called to tell us 'you need a new mechanic. It was the fuel pump.' JUST as we suspect and told AAA.

    When we went in to talk to AAA, the assistant manager told us they never checked the fuel pump because the diagnostic said it was the PCM. So, ZERO mechanic skills were used, only that of reading a computer. When we dug deeper- is showed the PCM (actually said ECM) wasn't connecting to the airbags, OnStar, power windows, and AC. NOTHING ABOUT THE MOTOR! His response was "this is company policy'. No apology. Then said he could not refund the diagnostic fee and we needed to call customer service to request that.

    I called customer service which resulted in a phone call from the store's general manager Mike, who said HE COULD issue a refund. He also said "I apologize, we should have caught that." So yes, he did admit fault and actually said sorry. He ALMOST redeemed himself (not the store) until he issued the refund to the wrong customer and I had to follow up 2 weeks later to figure it out. A bunch of **! Do not trust these guys. Do not expect them to be true mechanics. We cannot get our car back and now we are left to figure out a new vehicle when we had one that just needed a fuel pump.

    We needed our car to be towed to our local mechanic so we called AAA and spoke to their representative. My husband gave the rep the instructions of where to bring the car for service. He received a text that the tow truck would be arriving at 9:30 pm. He didn't arrive until almost midnight and never called or texted to let him know he would be late. This was not an emergency and could have waited until morning. It turns out that the tow truck drive was not local and had a fairly long drive to come to our house. When he finally arrived my husband gave him the keys in an envelope with the name and address of our mechanic on it. When my husband spoke to our mechanic the next morning to verify that the car had been dropped off, he was told that the car never arrived. After finally connecting with a live person at AAA, my husband found out that the driver had brougt it to the nearest AAA garage instead of to our mechanic.

    The rep at AAA told my husband that they would have a new driver pick it up and bring it to our mechanic. When the new driver arrived to pick up the car, he could not find the keys. So again, my husband had to contact AAA to follow up and have someone find the keys. Apparently the first driver still had the key and AAA supposedly requested that he drop the key off at the AAA garage ASAP. My husband kept calling AAA because we weren't getting any response from the driver. Also, the AAA rep told my husband that we would be charged $100.00 for the second tow (which was not our fault). My husband had to go round and round with AAA to get this fee removed.

    Finally, my husband went and got the keys himself because it was taking so long. We were trying to sell this car and this fiasco totally blew the deal we had hoped to make clear out of the water because it took five days before we could even get the car to our mechanic. This was the worst experience with a service company that we ever had. One thing I would like to add to this is that when you call AAA they use an AI automated response system. It took four times refusing the options that the AI offered before reaching a live person. This was extremely frustrating, especially since we had to call AAA so many times. We have been loyal members of AAA since 2015 and deserved to be treated better.

    I only gave it one star because 0 is not an option. People do not fall for that package BS in Florida, I added a vehicle to my policy for less than a month, with 3 months still left on my policy. They wanted to add an extra $400 for the rest of the year that was split up in 3 remaining payments, I decided to find something new and cancel before the next due date and my mortgage paid the escrow in advance earlier that year, so I should have had $400 left of my homeowners premium that was due back to me.

    Because of them commingling funds for both policies, they were able to take the remaining balance from my home to pay for upcoming billing cycle for the auto which is not even due yet and it was only a $200 increase. How do these crooks, keep getting away with it? Do not combine your policies or any policy with these people, they are greedy corporate butt plugs.

    On July 6, 2026, I was driving my wife and four grandchildren through the Texas panhandle. We had visited Capulin Volcano near Raton, New Mexico, and were continuing our trip, scheduled to stay at a motel in Dumas, Texas. A little before 3 PM, as I approached a traffic light in Stratford, Texas, suddenly my oil pressure light flashed red and as I slowed, the car shut off. I was able to restart the car and slowly drove the vehicle into a PILOT service station at the intersection.

    At 3:12 PM I called AAA, having been a member for over a decade, and put in my first request for a tow truck. I asked AAA if they could recommend a mechanic shop nearby where I could have the vehicle towed. They could not provide any information, but I did request that a tow truck be dispatched. While waiting for a response, the local Chevy dealership informed me that there was a repair shop literally one block from where my car was disabled. I then informed AAA that the tow would only be less than a quarter mile.

    Within an hour of the initial conversation with AAA, the company assured me that a tow truck should be at my location within 90 minutes to two hours. At 8:29 PM, almost 5 ½ hours after my initial call, AAA, after twice updating the arrival time of the tow truck, informed me that it would be another 2 hours wait for the truck finally to arrive. This would mean that the tow truck MIGHT be at the scene by 10:30 PM. The key word is “MIGHT.”

    Understand that I had been at a PILOT gas station with my wife, and four grandchildren (ages 7 to 11) since 3 PM with an automobile that was disabled. We were stranded in Stratford, Texas, and there was no bus, no taxi, no Uber or Lyft service, no rental car, nothing to get us to our destination in Dumas. I called a local motel, the Stratford Inn, and was able to book two adjoining rooms (almost $200).

    It was too late to get a full refund from the motel in Dumas, so I called and told the managers of the Dumas Holiday Inn Express that I could not get to Dumas because it was impossible to get our group of six to the town some forty miles away. I asked if I could pay someone for a ride, but none of the Holiday Inn employees knew anyone who could perform that task. AAA then offered that I could make an appointment for the tow truck to meet me at 7 AM the following day, July 7, 2026. I woke up early and walked back to the PILOT station to meet the tow truck.

    At 6:55 AM, as I stood waiting in the PILOT parking lot, I received a call from AAA to inform me that the tow truck had not been sent, and that AAA was “working on getting us a tow.” This is after PROMISING me that I had an appointment at 7 AM to meet the tow truck. It was now 7:39 AM and AAA was still working on getting me a tow. This is more than 12 hours since the initial phone call. Finally, after 8 AM, a tow truck arrived. The tow truck had been available the previous day, but AAA wasted time calling other tow truck companies. They initially tried using one of AAA’s contracted companies. When AAA was unable to contact the cheaper, contract company, the insurance and roadside assistance giant then spent the next seventeen hours trying to find the least expensive tow. All this time, the local tow truck operator could have been at the scene within ten minutes of the incident.

    If you think this is a reasonable experience, then you should be happy that you still have AAA roadside assistance. I believe this is completely ridiculous and unacceptable. I will never recommend AAA again, in fact, I will actively try to dissuade people from using this company. I will pay ten times the annual fee to get a better roadside assistance company. I feel cheated, lied to, and, in essence, abandoned.

    Five hours -- five HOURS -- to get a .9 mile tow from this inept "service". That's not even the worst, most incompetent part; had they told me it was going to be five hours from the start, I could have made decisions, but no, they initially told me 50 minutes. Then called to cheerfully say it would be another two hours (so three hours instead of 50 minutes while I'm sitting by the side of the road, in the sun, with my dogs). Then some tow driver called promising to be there in 35 minutes, never showed nor answered his phone again, so two hours later they dispatched a whole new driver, and while that eventual guy was great, I'd now wasted the entire afternoon of a workday on this utterly useless, indifferent and wildly incapable company.

    I cancelled my "membership" that evening and after years of trusting them will never pay them another cent. Telling everyone I know and posting everywhere I can: forget about this terrible company and just call a reputable tow company directly. AAA might have been respectable 30 years ago, but what they are now is a hot dumpster fire with a "membership" plan (which means there's no pro-rated refund either). I wish every member of their executive team (or better still, their loved ones) the afternoon they gave me. Don't even consider paying these jerks. Pretty much anything is a better option.

Well because he died and this was his car, we each had our own, they said that they would not let me use our AAA towing service. I have called for tows over the years for him and had his car towed no problems. Because I told them he had passed away they decided I could not use our AAA service.

I had just paid a renewal for another year...but I cancelled it. I can't believe the deplorable service from such an American trusted name.

    My 8 year old car (a Dodge Charger Hellcat) got stolen a little over a year ago, which was a total bummer, but the service I got from AAA was terrific. They were on top of things, kept me up to speed, and even renewed my car rental before it expired during the process. The best part was I didn’t have to argue about the value of my car once it was considered a total loss. I hadn’t even been a customer for very long, but I will be loyal to them with great service like that! It may be a tiny bit more to have AAA coverage, but when needed it’s worth every cent!

    I've been with AAA for a couple of years now, up to now I thought they were good. I noticed on my dash that my battery was low so I bought a battery and where I bought it they would not install it. So I decided to call AAA and have them come out and put the battery in when customer service called me they asked me if I needed a jump, I said no. I need the battery replaced, but I have the battery. She stated, "We do not install third party batteries in cars." I proceeded to ask her how much a battery would be if I bought it from AAA and had them come out and she could not give me a price. Honestly I did not have a problem taking back the battery that I just bought, but I wanted to know how much AAA's battery was, I didn't want them coming out here and charging me an additional $300. So when my membership is up at the end of the year they're out!

    My daughter's car broke down during rush hour traffic on interstate I-65 just north west of Indianapolis. This is a heavily traveled interstate by semis between Indianapolis and Chicago. I have my daughters in my AAA. They called to get a tow and were asked if they were in a safe place. They definitely said no they were not in a safe place. It took almost 3 hours for a tow truck to show up. What was the purpose of asking if they were safe. why didn't a different AAA driver come get them and take them to the closet restaurant, gas station or rest stop while they waited. They called AAA a couple times to check on times too. Very disappointed in AAA lately. Customer service is not a priority. Mostly want you to talk to an ai chat assistant. And if you talk to a live person they are slightly snarky undertoned and certainly not concerned with client safety. I canceled them after that. I won't do it. There's other road side assistance choices.

    This is the worst company at customer service I've ever dealt with, and I'm paying them a lot of money. To start with, no one answers the phone. You are left on hold forever. If you are allowed to leave a message, you might get a callback in a few days or you might not. When you eventually end up talking to someone after repeated calls, they sound helpful and seem to want to help you, but they always tell you that someone will get back to you. No one ever does. Emails never get replies so that doesn't help either. Should I mention that if you are using them for roadside assistance, their response time is also hours. Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

This particular bill was paid the same time as all my other bills and I get a text message from the agents telling me that my insurance was going to be canceled if I didn't have my payment in within a few days. I checked my bank account to see if the check had cleared, and it did not. I called AAA to see if it was floating around in their mail somewhere, and no one could find it. I was not about to pay Triple-A twice, so I canceled my policy and went to a cheaper insurance agency.

    Now after a week of canceling the policy, the missing check has finally appeared and has been cleared at my bank. I will never ever purchase insurance from AAA. They tried to scam me for my money, and even though the policy was canceled, they went on and took that little check that they couldn't find and cancel and cashed it.

    AAA DMV services cause $154 over payment. As a qualifying individual with a designated Disabled Person/Veteran status, I am legally entitled to a complete weight fee exemption for my pickup truck under California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 9410. My vehicle’s unladen weight is 5,246 lbs, which places it securely under the statutory 8,001-pound threshold managed in the CA DMV Weight Fee Exemptions Handbook.

    During my renewal transaction at the Chico office, I explicitly pointed out this exemption to the clerk, cited CVC § 9410, and stated that the weight fees must be removed from the calculation. The clerk did not consult a supervisor, did not reference the standard DMV partner handbook or understand the rules, stated that the rulebook and DMV were making an error, and insisted on processing the automatically generated total. Because of this explicit training failure, AAA erroneously charged an extra $154.00 to my credit card.

    While I am aware that a standard DMV refund can be requested using Form ADM 399, the state's processing backlog means my funds will be held hostage for three to six months. I did not make an error; AAA’s front-line staff did. It is entirely unacceptable to shift the financial burden of a AAA training failure onto a member—especially a member utilizing a legally verified disability exemption.

    Because AAA acted as the processing agent that forced this over payment, I requested that AAA corporate issue a Manager's Adjustment Check or a direct financial reimbursement to me immediately. AAA can then assume the timeline burden of recovering those funds from the California DMV on its own corporate schedule. AAA has failed to follow up on this matter or even reply to my complaint. I filled out the survey and checked yes to the box to have a representative contact me.

I can’t get it today. It’s not programmed incorrectly. Come to find out he had the battery for the new key fob in backwards. So I called AAA the next day and said, "If you guys can’t find me a locksmith then get me towed and let it get towed to my house and I’ll figure out the key later on well."

    I started calling from 10 AM yesterday and didn’t get a response until seven saying we have nobody that will be able to come out and tell you so I had to pay out-of-pocket $200 to get towed from the place that my car was at to my house.

    At 7:00 p.m., I was involved in a car accident. I immediately called Triple A, explained my situation, and was assured that I would receive priority service because I was stranded in the middle of nowhere. I was told a tow truck would arrive within 30–60 minutes. Shortly afterward, I even received a text saying the driver was only 16 minutes away. Then the delays started. The arrival time kept getting pushed back again and again. After waiting four hours, I called again and explained that there was an insulin-dependent person in the vehicle. I asked to speak with a supervisor, hoping someone would take the situation seriously and offer a real solution. Instead, all I received from both the representative and the supervisor was an endless stream of apologies that did absolutely nothing to help my stranded family or me.

    To make matters worse, I was told the earliest a tow truck could arrive was 9:00 a.m. the following morning—14 hours after my accident. That is completely unacceptable. Rather than finding a meaningful solution, they repeatedly offered me a Lyft voucher. At that point, it felt like I was talking to parrots instead of people capable of listening, understanding the situation, and exercising basic judgment. After spending hours stranded following a car accident, repeatedly hearing the same scripted response only made an already stressful situation even worse.

    With no reasonable alternative offered, I reluctantly agreed to the 9:00 a.m. tow. Fortunately, the situation was ultimately resolved without any assistance from Alcoholics Anonymous—or the organization with the extra "A." Would I recommend Triple A? Yes—but only to my worst enemies. Would I recommend it to anyone I actually care about? Absolutely not. Not in a million years. To Club 212 employees Alejandra and Supervisor Kelly: I sincerely hope you never find yourselves stranded in the middle of nowhere relying on the same level of service you provided my family that night.

Well after waiting for hours I called to see what was going on to find out that they don't do that in my area anymore and asked if I wanted it towed somewhere. Ya right! It was now 4pm on a Friday so there's nowhere to tow it to now. And were they ever going to let me know all of this?? So I just wasted the whole day when they could have informed me hours ago that they couldn't help me. So I don't think I will be renewing my membership.

Then was called I had to pay an additional 60 to start my service today. Then was called to say I had to pay an additional 64 because they would only tow it 5 miles or less. Then was told I only had THREE services left. None of this was explained when I signed up for this scam of a membership. Bought a new car a week later got 2 flat tires. AAA said 15 minutes I got numerous calls saying driver on the way, driver 15 minutes away, driver 45 minutes away driver 5 min away multiple times. 3 hours later tow truck came. Had the wrong address to where to tow it to so good thing I double checked. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE and unreliable. No accurate information was ever given to me.

    My journey with AAA began around 11:30 Thursday, June 25, 2026. It is now after 3:30. Triple AAA was a part of my package when I bought a new vehicle from Hyundai. I’ve used AAA in the past and sometimes I’ve had excellent results coming in a timely fashion and other times they were horrible. Well this particular time on June 25 as I stated earlier, I called to have my battery charged. Well a non-fleet driver came. Very rude and nasty. HE had the AAA logo on the vehicle, but he was not a fleet driver from AAA. When he approached me he said he to needed my VIN number in order to to charge my battery, which I thought was odd. And I told him no. He said he needed the VIN number in order to charge the car he started, mumbling some nasty words, and I said to him excuse we were in shock.So this is my second encounter with him. He was not a fleet driver from AAA. He had AAA and another company name on his vehicle.

    The next problem is a lot of the representatives are very helpful but then it just appears that one hand doesn’t know what the other hand is doing because they keep calling saying someone will be there in 30 minutes. 30 minutes. 30 minutes. 30 minutes and now 4 hours have passed. Aaa called and questioned me about the whereabouts of the vehicle. I said to them, "You have all of that information." She state, "I don’t have anything except for your name," so it appears that there’s a bunch of confusion at AAA. A fleet driver arrived around 350-ish. His name was Philip. It’s courteous and very professional.

    AAA is the worst roadside assistance company thus far. I waited almost 4 hours for someone to come when they told me it would take an hour and a half. Each time I called in they said 30 more minutes which turned into another hour and another hour and another hour. Worst experience ever. Not worth being a member.

    They got a star only because the lady who helped me cancel service was very pleasant. I will shorten this dramatically. First call for a tow for my daughter took them 3 hours to get to her. She was located in town at approximately 3:00pm perfect weather conditions. Second call for assistance 2 years later was for a tire change because her new vehicle was missing the jack. It was 5:30pm, perfect weather conditions and she was in town. She called me at 8:30pm to let me know she and my 3 grandchildren had been waiting for help for 3 hours [after asking why she waited so long].

    I called AAA. After being lied to and false promises made at 9:45pm AAA suggested we leave keys in vehicle under the seat and they would have driver pick up and tow to our specified location [for a tire change???]. We called someone else to come out. Over 4 hours on the side of the road. Totally, totally, totally unacceptable!!! And my story about extended wait times is only 1 of thousands with aaa, yes lower case on purpose. Company is terrible. Competitors including the number 1 rated road side assistance co. out there seem to have almost the same number of similar complaints about wait times. Do your research!! Probably better to pay out of pocket, the providers are then responsible to you directly and are probably getting paid better by you for their service than they get paid by the roadside service company. Money motivates. Good luck.

The individual who came out then became belligerent when my son came out of the house to observe. He went off on my son, saying why couldn’t a grown man like him change the tire. Well, my son was just visiting and didn’t have the tools to change the tire. The serviceman stormed away mumbling without changing the tire. I called later to request the same service, and AAA refused to service me, stating that they did not want to endanger the serviceman when he was the one that became belligerent. AAA believed the serviceman over myself, a long-time, loyal member. AAA did not take the time to investigate the incident, even though I had proof that the serviceman was in the wrong.

    I signed up for AAA around 2015. I did not really use any of the supposed benefits, so I cancelled membership after a year or two. I did not realize that they were automatically billing me renewal fees; my fault for not reviewing my credit card statements closely enough. However, I did see at the beginning of June 2026 that there was a renewal charge on May 1, 2026. I called on June 4 and was told the charge would be removed within 2 weeks. It was still there as of June 22, so I called back. I was then told that the request for a refund was denied because it was past June 1, one month after the charge. I was not even notified that the refund was denied.

    Let this be a warning to everyone. Don’t sign up for AAA; your insurance probably covers charge for towing. Don’t let them do an automatic renewal; based on what I experienced, they will keep doing it even if you quit. I have only written something like this about a business 2 or 3 times in my over 50 years, but the audacity and gall of their attitude has gotten me upset enough to post this wherever I can.

After carefully spelling out city and street location several times, he confirmed that request was in the system. A few minutes later, I received a call because the pick up location was apparently over 250 miles from the drop off location. The first agent had the address totally wrong! Finally, request was made to the correct location, and I received a confirmation text. Followed up by a text stating that the request had been cancelled. After that was straightened out, I received a text that the driver was at the location. No driver to be seen. AAA had sent him incomplete information. Fortunately, the driver called me directly, and we worked it out. The driver was great - everything else about the experience was terrible!!!

    AAA is a waste of money, my car wouldn't start and the customer representative recommended a shop she said id get a discount from. I didn't think this shop would be to far away, she did tell me how far but she left out the part where id be paying extra for the tow which is supposed to be free with my membership. So I get sent 30 minutes away from my location and 40 minutes from my home which I now have to Uber too to go get the car, so that's even more money AAA is costing me. Then we get to the shop and because AAA doesn't know the prices of the shops they work with I was charged 140 JUST for diagnostics. So before my cars even looked at AAA has cost me 200 dollars when triple A is somehow supposed to be saving me 200 a year by having them.

    I talked to a member from higher up the chain of command and basically I got a long polite speech of how my problems were not her problems and they don't have diagnostics prices from the shops that THEY recommend, also the extra miles I got sent over by a shop they recommended? Apparently I'm supposed to stop what I'm doing, look at how far that shop is on Google maps, and tell them while on the phone if the shop is to far over my miles and I can't afford it. If you're reading this review take what I say to be the truth, they will just cost you money, they don't care and they won't reimburse you for any of it, and memberships are pointless. Take your money elsewhere and save it, I know I'm not saving any money by being a member for over 5 years, you won't either.

The borderline of Tennessee is not about 25 miles away. Or I should say 5 miles away from the Tennessee border. I have lived in this area all my life. It’s West Tennessee and West Kentucky. I live in Kentucky. A good friend of mine and I he’s a 85 year-old Vietnam veteran. He is decorated.

    We traveled over in Tennessee 25 miles from my home to eat. I need my tire had a leak in it and I filled it up before I left and when I got to the place, we was dining at it went flat. All I needed Was someone to our my tire up. I have a digital air compressor, which I left on a charger because the battery was down so I called AAA and they would send someone shortly. I will try to talk to them on the phone. I would get disconnected or lost in the shuffle. I talked to their automated service and sent message constantly. Our Tech man will be there in 5 to 7 minutes and they never came. We sat there for over three hours and nobody showed up. Just an air tire up. I would hate to think if it would be anything very seriously we sat there until they finally closed the restaurant around us and it was humid and a thunderstorm.

    Finally, I had to call my very own Cousin to come and air my tire up. He had one of them little battery operated air compressors. He is like me, disabled. I managed to get the air compressor hooked up to air my tire up and they never called. They said they would let me know. I have the emails to prove it on my telephone. I never was a shocked in my life that I could not even get a tire L aired up. I have auto pay enrolled on this service. As soon as I got back home I turned out automated pay off. I will never ever recommend these people for anything. If you wanna get a runaround and talk to a customer service representative you’re just in dreamland if they talk to you, they will put you on hold and cut you off. Another word's forget it. I beg them to come to my tire up. No response, no calls. I sat there from 330.

    Finally got home and my home in Kentucky at 8:30 at night. The young lady finally called me which I do not blame the ones on the telephone. I know they try to get people to service your needs. But this was the biggest waste of money I ever spent in my life. I think I paid over $160 for all three of my vehicles for nothing and I mean nothing.

So I have to pay over $500 for the tow on top of the new membership. Shameful. One of the reasons AAA used to be so popular was their reliability on saving you in such situations but now they gleefully sing into the phone that they will not do.

    I was very disappointed with my experience with AAA. I maintained my membership and, ironically, the one and only time I ever needed to use the roadside assistance service, I was told I would need to renew my membership before receiving help—even though my membership had not yet expired. As a paying customer, I expected the coverage I had already paid for to be honored through the end of my membership term. Being denied assistance when I finally needed it left me feeling frustrated and misled. The purpose of a roadside assistance membership is to provide peace of mind when unexpected situations arise. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect that. Based on this experience, I cannot say that I received the value or service I expected from AAA.

    Even though they forced me to get it when I got the insurance, they said it was not part of the policy... According to them, it is a separate department I would have had to contact to cancel the roadside. They never informed me of that when I called to cancel the insurance. Seems like that should have to be a standard mention, since they force it on you. And especially since they asked me why I was cancelling, to which I replied my father was selling his car due to disability and WOULD NO LONGER BE DRIVING, therefore would no longer be needing insurance (and obviously roadside!).

    I have dealt with every major and several minor insurance companies for my family. Sometimes I have roadside, sometimes I do not. When I have had it, and decided to go to another carrier, I've never had to worry about cancelling roadside. It just expired with the policy! This seems like a very deceptive practice. Especially one that preys upon the elderly, as that is primarily who chooses to use AAA.

    3 times using. Live in PA. 1) Called and got someone in Boston Mass. Waited 4 hours, 3 phone calls, finally tow arrived. 2) Towing a trailer, called, waited 4 hours, sent tow in wrong direction and would not tow trailer because not an RV member. Friend came to get my trailer. Upgraded membership. 3) Close to home, after a million questions and location, requested local towing company (Friend with rollback) sent wrong tow company, and will not tow trailer, even upgraded membership to RV 3 times told who I wanted. Finally qot changed. Waited 3 hours, 15 minutes from home. All breakdowns happened within an hour from home. Still waited 3 -4 hours for a towing company close by.

    I had a great experience with AAA. When I called, I was told it would likely take about 45 minutes for assistance to arrive, but the technician was there in less than 10 minutes! I needed help removing my grandchild’s car seat so I could pick up a large item I had purchased on Marketplace. The technician was patient, friendly, and took the time to make sure the seat was removed properly. He was able to get it undone when I couldn’t, and his help saved me a lot of frustration. I really appreciated the quick response time and excellent customer service. Thank you, AAA, for coming to the rescue once again.

    My (teenage) son ran out of gas on the highway. I remember vividly having my parents call AAA for me once in the past for roadside assistance. They made me pay $200 to add him as a family member to my plan, plus gas, and didn’t get to him for over an hour and a half. (The vehicle was covered, but my son was not). They had horrible, dismissive attitudes and lacked any sort of compassion whatsoever.

    I called on another occasion for a flat tire. This was probably-hands down the absolute worst customer service encounter I had ever experienced. After I had waited two hours for assistance I called back to get a status update and was yelled at by the agent. I was told they would get to me when they could. Now I see a year later they are now offering 25% off of membership plus a FREE family member. Go figure!

    I was grossly overcharged for a battery! $238! I don't even know if I really needed a battery. Tech said it had a bad cell. It drained because key was left in ignition.

    I had no history of the car not starting. I'm 67 years old on a fixed income. I went online and found batteries much less expensive as much as $130 less...that would work for my car. See attachments. Why was I so overcharged? I called the Membership Customer Service line, and the man was extremely condescending and rude to me, refusing to refund any money to me. Membership has less value if you get screwed when you need repairs or parts.

    I have been insured with AAA/MCIC for more than 10 years for both my vehicle and home insurance. However, over the last two years, I have noticed repeated premium increases based on mileage. This year, they entered incorrect mileage information into their system and significantly increased my premium. They added nearly 5,000 extra miles compared to the mileage I actually submitted.

    I was very disappointed with how this situation was handled. When I contacted customer service to question the increase, I was told I needed to provide proof from an oil change to verify my mileage. This creates an unnecessary burden for long-term customers. After this experience, I can no longer recommend MCIC insurance. Customers should not have to deal with inaccurate mileage records and unfair premium increases.

    My recent experience with AAA has been extremely disappointing. Their customer service has been unhelpful, dismissive, and unwilling to take responsibility for their own billing errors. AAA is charging me fees that I do not owe, and despite providing bank statements that match the payment receipts in my account, they continue to imply that I missed payments. Instead of resolving the issue, AAA keeps repeating the same incorrect information and refusing to acknowledge the proof I’ve already provided. No customer should have to fight this hard to correct a mistake that AAA clearly made. At this point, their lack of accountability and poor communication have completely damaged my trust in their services.

    AAA is one of the most unreliable insurance companies I’ve ever dealt with. They canceled my policy without properly notifying me and then acted like it was somehow my fault. Their communication is terrible …Nobody calls back, nobody gives clear answers, and every representative says something different. Because of their negligence, they put me in a really bad situation that could have seriously affected me financially and legally. An insurance company should never leave customers blindsided like that. Completely unfair, unprofessional, and irresponsible. I would never trust AAA again.

    Extremely frustrating experience with AAA roadside assistance. My vehicle was towed to the WRONG dealership despite me specifically requesting a Jeep dealership. This created delays, confusion, and additional stress while dealing with an ongoing electrical/parasitic battery drain issue on my 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee. AAA also replaced my main battery shortly before the actual electrical issue was identified, resulting in additional inconvenience and time without my vehicle. Thankfully, AAA did later approve a refund for the battery and reopened my roadside call count after I escalated the situation, which I do appreciate. However, the overall experience caused significant inconvenience, multiple breakdowns, lost time, and unnecessary stress. I strongly encourage better communication, proper tow verification, and more thorough troubleshooting procedures for newer vehicles with complex electrical systems.

    I am extremely disappointed with AAA’s battery service and customer support. Last month, a technician came out to test my car battery and told me the battery was fine, even though my car had been hesitating to start ever since. Today, my car would not start at all. I am currently 8 months pregnant and was on my way to a doctor’s appointment when this happened. I called AAA again, and the technician tested the battery and said something was draining it. I explained that the battery is only 3 years old, still under warranty, and that I believed the battery itself was causing the issue. Despite this, they refused to replace it. The technician Fazel then told me I needed proof that the battery was purchased through AAA. While I stepped away to call customer service and get the information, he simply left without waiting or offering any further assistance.

    As a loyal AAA member for 10 years, I found this treatment completely unacceptable. I called customer service, I was then told the warranty only covers manufacturer defects and that because the technician jumped the car and the battery temporarily charged, their system would not show it as a failed battery. Tony the manager advised me to go to AutoZone to have the battery tested independently. I did, and AutoZone confirmed that the battery is bad. I called AAA back with this information, and they still refused to replace the battery under warranty.What makes this even more frustrating is that customer service Manager Tony told me to go to AutoZone and have the battery tested independently. As an 8-month pregnant woman dealing with a disabled car, why would I be told to waste my time doing that if AAA still had no intention of honoring the warranty or replacing the battery, even after AutoZone confirmed the battery was bad?

    What makes this even worse is that when I called back to provide Tony with the information she specifically asked me for, she then refused to take my call. I was told she was “busy” and that she would call me back, but that callback never happened. My mother even had to call because she was in disbelief over how poorly this situation was handled and the final outcome. I am disgusted by this entire experience and the lack of concern, professionalism, and customer care shown throughout this process.

    On February 1 we were driving to Florida on Alabama US Highway 331 and had a flat tire. Called AAA roadside service, told them exactly where we were in front of a mailbox Address and an hour and a half later got a call from a driver sent out from 200 miles away in Montgomery asking "where are you". We told him and he said, "I can't come that far you'll have to call them back." We did. Went through the same problems with them figuring out where we were. Waited another hour and a half and it was now after dark.

    Nobody showed and I ended up changing the tire myself on gravel by flashlight. I hurt my back during this and had to get PT. Called AAA more recently to complain and the best they would do was offer me $40 credit towards my next year's membership. This was abysmal service! We also have AAA auto, Home, and umbrella policies and calling them within the last couple months has resulted in terrible wait times compared to last year. Not happy!

    This review is not about a branch this is about overall AAA. My biggest concern being when you need roadside assistance. This has happened to our family on multiple occasions at night, in the middle of the night. Just overall and not the best area. You cannot speak to someone they want to automate you they want to send you to a robot who wants to send you a link who wants to send you a text and then they want to give you to a virtual assistant and you have to fight and fight and fight until you get through to a human and then the first thing they representative says, (Are you in a safe place?).

    Really please stop acting like you care because if you cared you wouldn't have to go through x amount of minutes struggling with an automated service who does not care if you're dead or alive and again it's not the representative's fault who actually answers. She said that quite usually people are pretty angry by the time they get to a human yes because AAA just said by our products but we don't really care if you're going to be safe or not because we don't have the time to answer.

    Pay into a complete bundled package for vehicles and house. Paid into the policies for YEARS. Never had a claim other than a cracked windshield. Nothing on the house. We get a major hail and wind storm that tore shingles off the roof and dented metal fixtures. Filed a claim, and was denied. Shingles still in the driveway, and could hear pounding at a neighbor's house that were getting their roof replaced. How is it that a neighbor has damage, but mine doesn't? Even the adjuster agreed there was damage. It's the suits in the office that want to keep their money. Now I have to cough up $20k for a roof out of my pocket! AAA should change their name to FFF.
