I had to call for battery service in Washington Township in New Jersey. I got lucky because Lamar was the guy who showed up. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He went above and beyond. He was reassuring me that he can unlock the car since my key got locked inside. It was a very stressful experience, fortunately, he made seem very easy. Thank you Lamar. I would love if I can request him every time I need a service. Kay

On Wednesday, August 27, 2025 at 2:15 pm, I requested a tow. After receiving several calls of time change, I had to call a representative and was given misinformation, so I requested a Supervisor call. Supervisor called back and my vehicle was finally picked up at 8:10 pm and dropped off to me at 9:24pm. Totally unacceptable.

Every year you get less and they charge more. It used to be unlimited with a much further tow. Not now! Hard to cancel. No option in AI menu for cancellation resulting in my being transferred over six times before being helped by a human being.

Terrible company. Left me waiting hours for a tow, impossible to get anyone on the phone, no reliability for a company that is for people’s peace of mind. Will not renew and will recommend to anyone and everyone to find an alternative for towing.

I wish I could give 0 stars. AAA used to be a decent company. My vehicle was at a repair shop 5 blocks from my house. They didn't have the time to do the work that needed to be done which was understandable. I wanted to tow the vehicle back to my house, where I could try to work on it and if I couldn't fix it, then I did have another shop lined up that could take it in about 2 weeks. I was informed by the dispatcher that once the car is at a repair shop, they will only tow it to another repair shop and that it was against policy to tow it to a residence. I even told them that it's on the side of the public road in front of the shop, not actually on their property anymore.
I was told I had to pay out of pocket for another tow company, not them, to have it towed back to my house. I used who they recommended which cost $147 for a 5-minute tow. I looked up their policy online after the tow and what I was told was incorrect. I called AAA to speak to a manager, Sean ID #: **, and he was incredibly rude to me and refused to provide any refund or compensation for the tow. I even mentioned that when my truck initially broke down on the freeway several days before that, I was told the tow truck would be there in 1 hour, but it ended up being 3 1/2 hours. I didn't even get a halfhearted apology for the long wait. He just said, "Well you clearly didn't read our policy, so it's not our fault." I've been a AAA member for a very long time, most of my adult life, and I will not be renewing my membership after it expires. There are many better options out there.

Deeply disappointed in the unhelpful manner in which our claim for the missing skid plate from our car was just handled by your representative. The skid plate was attached to the car when your wrecker driver picked it up, but was missing when we got the car back. No one there seems willing to take responsibility for the missing part- valued at $250- and now we're being told since we can't prove the skid plate was there, we'll have to come out of pocket to replace it. This is not the kind of service we've come to expect from AAA. Definitely not recommending AAA to anyone we know.

I called AAA just before 10:30 PM and I was not picked up by a tow truck until 6:30 AM. I was five minutes from a major league baseball stadium and on the border of two states off a major highway, and AAA had my exact GPS coordinates. There must’ve been at least 50 AAA affiliated tow companies within a 30 mile radius of me between the two state’s borders. Make that make sense. Why would I have to wait eight hours for a tow truck to come pick me up. Tow truck after tow truck would say they’re on the way to pick me up and then I would get a call from AAA, saying that the assigned tow truck was no longer available and that they would have to find a new tow truck.
I have been a AAA customer for 20 years and this is the most inexcusable service I have ever experienced of any company. When I was contacted by customer resolutions team, they agreed that there was no excuse, and that the scenario was egregious. Their only means of resolution was waving my next annual membership. I’m sorry, but that is far from an appropriate level of resolution, and I will not be renewing my membership.

Didn’t realize it took four hours for a wrecker to arrive after an accident. You’d think as well known of a company they are they wouldn’t have that sort of time frame. We're originally told an hr and a half for the wrecker to arrive. Wouldn’t say it’s the drivers fault more dispatch if they don’t know how to send them to the correct location.

AAA isn’t what it used to be. Twenty years ago, it was a badge of honor and a trusted service. Now, it’s just a shell of its former self. I had been a AAA member for over three years, and my grandmother has been a member for nearly thirty. When I moved from Maine to Illinois, I called AAA a month in advance to update my membership. I was told over the phone—and confirmed in letters—that my account had been adjusted and there would be no interruption in service as my membership transferred.
Fast forward to yesterday: I was stranded on the side of the road for five hours, fighting with AAA over this exact issue. Instead of taking accountability for their mistake, they tried to bill me extra on top of what I had already paid. It felt like a mob-style shakedown.
Here’s what happened:
First, they told me my club hadn’t changed.
Then, they said my membership had expired (even though I had letters saying otherwise).
Then, they told me I had to renew for $220. Out of desperation, I agreed, just to get help.
But after paying, I was told I also owed another $60 for a “same-day use” fee.
I escalated to customer retention and spoke with Mr. **. He promised the $60 fee would be waived and that everything was taken care of. But an hour later, I had no call, no email, no dispatch confirmation. When I called back, they said all my service requests had been cancelled and that I had “used up” my benefits—on a request that hadn’t even been fulfilled. When I pushed back, I was told the $60 fee still applied, and nobody could honor what Mr. ** had said.
At that point, I had spoken with five different people, wasted five hours of my day, and gotten absolutely nowhere. Finally, I told them to cancel my membership. When asked if I was really quitting “over a $60 fee,” I said yes—because this wasn’t about the money. It was about principle. I had done everything right: updated my membership a month prior, confirmed by phone and mail, and still AAA failed me, misled me, and wasted my time.
I asked for a full refund and walked away. AAA has lost all sense of accountability, communication, and customer care. It’s a shame to see how far they’ve fallen. This member quit today.

I won't use them again. I noticed they charged my car a week before renewal date. My husband called while it was pending on my card and canceled service. They said it would not post to card and everything is canceled. Guess what they lied it did hard charged to my card. Called again, this time they said yes service is canceled and they won't refund back to my card. They have to send a paper check the mail via snail mail. It already has been 4 days since first call, not even mailed yet. I disputed charge with Discover. They charged before renewal, gave them ample notice of cancelation and was lied to. I did not receive the service. Why can't why just process a refund the same way you got the money. Why do I have to wait for when they feel like sending a check and maybe I might actually get it before lost or stolen. Not playing these games. Never use them.

I called at 7:43 am. I was first given a response time of 8:41. It is now 11:42 am. I am sitting in the heat in a vacant lot where I had to leave my vehicle last night. I am in a very small town in western Palm Beach County. Isn’t it ironic that in the places you most need them they are the least dependable? I have been a loyal member for over 23 years. This is the thanks I get. I’m not young. It is dangerously hot where I am waiting. All I can seem to get is A.I. generated “updates” with bogus arrival times for the tow truck. Plainly stated, AAA is a complete ripoff. Don’t join. Under any circumstances.

I have had AAA for over 20 years and have seen a massive reduction in quality and service over this time frame. My most recent experience, my truck was in the middle of the road, stuck for over 3 hours and they kept telling me it was going to be 45 minutes. Then the 45 minutes elapsed and they would call and say another 45 minutes. Then they informed me it was going to be another 2:13 minutes to be a grand total of at least 5 hours and 30 minutes to get a tow. I googled towing companies, and there were 7 within 8 miles away. I called on and a truck showed up in 15 minutes at 3 am. Gave up waiting for AAA. Their “customer resolution team” I spoke with was a total joke. They have a new to me texting feature that you can tell uses AI to respond to you in the most aggravating way possible. Whoever is writing their AI code has no idea how humans communicate at all.

AAA is absolutely the worst company. It took several hours while stranded on the side of the road for them to find a tow company to come and help us. In speaking with a friend that works for a local tow company it is because they pay so little that tow companies do not want to participate with them. Absolutely horrible experience only 5 miles from our home and only had to tow 6 miles and took approx 4+ hours. We will be cancelling our membership asap.

AAA has enjoyed a pretty good reputation but my experience with them has been TERRIBLE. The only service I used was Emergency roadside, twice. First time they kept extending the estimate arrival. After three hours of waiting they said I had called them to cancel it. What a shameless way to cover their poor performance. The second time they needed a full day to show up. No excuses other than we’re really busy. At least they didn't string me along hour by hour. I know AAA has to depend on local service providers, but where’s the quality control?
So I tried to cancel my AAA membership. Can’t do it online. Fifteen minute phone wait. Then the rep had to make me wait for her supervisor to handle it. He said he had cancelled my membership, but I could continue to use it until it expired next year. What? Then how much refund. None! He insisted that cancelling my membership was the same as letting it expire and that was AAA’s official cancellation policy. Nuts!

My battery and alternator died around 10pm on a Sunday night, so I called AAA for emergency roadside assistance. I waited for three hours, only to be told they had no dispatchers available in my area and wouldn’t have anyone until the following morning. I had to leave my car overnight and find my own way home. So much for “emergency” roadside service. When I finally did get a tow, the driver damaged my car and refused responsibility. He told my mechanic that power steering fluid had leaked onto his truck. My mechanic confirmed this wasn’t true — the leak was coolant caused by the driver breaking the housing on my upper radiator hose while attempting to jump my battery. Prior to the tow truck touching my car, the only issue was a dead battery.
I filed a damage report with AAA, who then pushed me off to their contractor, 3D Roadside Assistance. That company hung up on me and blocked my number. AAA has refused to take responsibility for either the damage or the unprofessional behavior of their contractor. AAA failed me twice: first by leaving me stranded overnight, and then by refusing accountability when their contracted driver damaged my car. Completely unprofessional. Save yourself the stress and get roadside coverage through your auto insurance instead of giving AAA your money.

AAA decided to have home based agents, so they, cook, clean, watch TV. This why service is horrible. My agent, in his leased office just quit. So main office grabbed his accounts. I had vehicles insured, I left, the house is insured, every month they send bunch emails. Jeez, take the money out, I don't want be bothered with emails. You usually get 30 years of claim free money. AAA can't manage that? Road service, just call a wrecker, give them the bill, otherwise you're going sit for hours.

Well, I've been a AAA member since 1996. And they've been terrific at getting vehicles started, rows and such. Except for a few times they were extremely late. But that's not AAA fault, it's the individual tow company coming to assist. Now, I have just found out that they have made drastic changes that will definitely hurt the company as a whole. They've changed the POLICY for amounts of road service request. This is a huge hit to the company and its customers.
They have eliminated the use of our usual 4 service requests down to 2 per whole year. It's basically a great way to lose customers. And they were very deceptive, and not announcing it. There's a small bulletin post in a newsletter who no one ever reads. But unfortunately, we are going to be cancelling our long standing membership. It's unfortunate, but we found much better competition for actually cheaper pricing. These changes are made to family policies. But beware, this company might just change things again without advising customers. CUSTOMER BEWARE!!

This was my second time requesting service with AAA in a year. The first time I was home and discovered a flat tire, after an hour of waiting I decided to call and was told the ticket was never submitted. Today I was on the side of the road, another flat tire. I called and was told it would be 13 min for a tow. 25 min later, I ask for an update through the app, then was told another 18 min wait. After 20 more minutes I call and was told it would actually be another 45 min. I live in Florida, 98 degree weather with no AC. Had I been told from the beginning that it would be that long, I could've made other arrangements. It was an added stress and time wasted for no reason. I have yet to have a pleasant experience with AAA.

On 8/15/2025 we contacted AAA from a County Road in Door County Wisconsin. We thought we were texting a human, but we’re not. In the past using (20 year members) AAA we talked to a live human and received accurate timely service. This time we waited 3 1/2 hours. First, it took AAA ALMOST 2 hours to locate a provider. Second, even though I provided a description of our red car and trailer AI told the provider we had a red enclosed trailer requiring a tire change. Third, even though AI was provided an accurate location the provider was given a location 5 miles from our location. Only when the provider contacted me directly was I able to give him our true location.
After AAA secured his services we were not notified directly via text by AAA the provider was in route and his ETA even though we were promised to be contacted by AAA. We will not renew our nearly $200 Premier membership. How do we know AAA is now AI our provider explained it to us after informing him of the lack of service, the exception is Bay Battery and Towing was excellent and went above and beyond giving us service, thanks Danny.

I'd give 0 stars if I could. I purchased a battery through AAA 2 years ago; I am no longer a AAA member, but they are still required to honor the warranty. I called and they said yes, we'll honor but you will have to meet the person to get the battery because you are no longer a member, they won't bring it to you. I said that's fine. Sadly, the company they contract with only work with you if you are a AAA member, and AAA won't put the request in if you're not a member. I called AAA again to let them know it was impossible to take advantage of the warranty if the company they partner with will only do business with AAA members.
I was then informed that wasn't true by a different associate, but they refused to connect me with the business because I'm no longer a member. In addition, for replacement of the battery, it is required that the company comes out to check the battery, but I had to set it up and pay for them to come out. I said fine, but I need to be able to connect with them and they won't answer my calls, only AAA.
They refused to connect me to the company unless I purchased a new membership. I looked into getting a new membership, but read on their site that all services in the first 3 days pay $125 non-refundable fee, in addition to the membership, which no one on the phone ever stated. I informed customer service of this and they said, Oh, yeah. I asked, if the requirements for the warranty was as they stated, why would they not contact the company so that I could do what's needed to get the battery? They continued to say because I'm not a member and that is a part of the battery warranty; I asked, why this was not disclosed when I purchased the battery, and they said it was on the warranty.
I reviewed my warranty and nowhere in the warranty does it state these requirements for battery replacement. I informed the Supervisor, Denise, that the warranty doesn't state this requirement. I asked where in the warranty does it state this requirement and she says 'I don't know where it says it, but I do this all the time.' If AAA is going to have their staff quoting policy that they are using to deny a service, at least have them know the actual policy. They are just repeating what I'm assuming they are told to say to deny customers a service they already paid for. I hate this company! And would not suggest anyone get a membership or insurance through them. They will send you through the gates of hell just to get assistance, and still won't help.

We purchased a battery through AAA with a three-year warranty. Two and a half years later, the battery died in our driveway and the car would not start. A AAA technician came out, tested the battery, claimed it was “fine,” jumped the car, and told us to let it run. The dashboard lights were flickering, but we were reassured everything was fine. We let the car run for over 45 minutes, then drove a mile or two and turned it off—only to find the battery completely dead again.
Our mechanic examined the car and confirmed the problem was the battery. From there, our experience with AAA descended into a time-consuming and infuriating mess. We spent hours on hold and speaking to various representatives, each giving us a different version of what we “needed to do” to have the warranty honored.
On a prior call, AAA told us to get a letter from our mechanic stating that the battery was defective. We did exactly that. But when we spoke to “Rebecca” in Member Relations, she refused to accept it—insisting we instead provide a full diagnostic determining exactly what was wrong with the battery. We explained that diagnosing the inner workings of their defective product is not our responsibility, especially when it had already failed in the real world and passed only an in-field test that clearly meant nothing.
Rather than try to help, Rebecca doubled down. She repeatedly implied we were being “condescending,” quoted warranty fine print at us, and generally made it clear AAA had no intention of honoring their warranty. The entire process was equal parts humiliating and maddening—like navigating a bureaucratic nightmare designed to exhaust you into giving up. We have now purchased a new battery from our trusted mechanic. AAA’s warranty was worthless, their customer service dismissive, and their handling of this situation insulting. We will never buy a AAA battery again.

It has been almost a month and I have not gotten my refund. At this point, I would not encourage anyone to use Triple A. I am very disappointed in Triple A. I have never even used the membership in the three years I have been a member. But they can charge my credit card my membership fee. You can’t even leave Triple A a review like other businesses.

My husband and I purchased a membership to solely tow his truck that he is repairing himself. Once we tried to have it towed, AAA refused saying it is a convenience tow, because we needed taken to our house. That it has to be dropped off at a licensed repair shop. My husband does all our repairs. This should be a disclaimer while purchasing... AAA is a waste

My problems started on Monday 8/4/25 and continued through Tuesday. Your agents working the phones gave me so many different answers and refused to pick my car up for a tow on Tuesday. It took 2 calls on Monday and on the second call (different person) she said she could have someone there in 2 HOURS. Well where I needed it towed from was closing at 3:00. I asked the woman if I could just schedule it for Tuesday? "NO". I needed to call on Tuesday and do it. So on Tuesday I drive to location, and call AAA. I'm told, "NO we can't pick up from impound lot." (Well that is complete bullshit.)
THERE IS A SIGN HANGING INSIDE THAT SAYS "AAA does pick up from here" and to really make matters worse....There is a AAA tow truck in the parking lot. I'm looking at it as she just says NOPE it's a new policy. What did it go into effect secretly, did some not tell the AAA tow truck driver that was sitting right there in the lot by me? I had to call another towing company and pay $100.00 to have my car towed to AAA TIRE AND SERVICE CENTER. Literally less than 3 miles away. Talk about an awful experience all the way around.
Now the real kicker AAA TIRE AND SERVICE CENTER tell me the repair will be $780.00. Telling people you get discounted pricing because you're a member is a joke. You just mark the service way up and then take a few bucks off. The mechanic I've used for years is going to do the repair for $610.00. I only wish I would have had my complete brake job done there. I should have known better, but I assumed I was getting this complete brake job for a decent price (as promoted) well over $900.00 for that big mistake.
I've been a member for a long time and this has been a nightmare. I could have bought roadside assistance through the dealership where I bought my car. I would not have been told on Monday it was going to be 2 hours to get a truck to me. It was 90° and I had my 4 year grand daughter with me. Here I am on Thursday and my car was towed from AAA TIRE & SERVICE CENTER. The representative on the phone told me I had to be with my car and driver's license. So I have to drive downtown, 8 miles from my home in rush hour traffic. OF COURSE he did NOT ask for it. So to sum it up, this entire experience has cost me hundreds of dollars.

Hi, I signed up for AAA yesterday 7/31 and paid the $125 same-day service fee to request a tow. I had to wait for an hour and half for getting a driver. When they updated that there was a driver on the way in 30 minutes, the driver who accepted the job after that called me and said he couldn’t take my car to the requested destination. He suggested me that he could take my car to the nearest location within 3-5 miles. But for what, while I requested very clearly that I wanted my car to the requested destination.
So the tow never happened, and I was left without help. I had to leave my car at my company’s parking lot for a whole night. I had to request another tow again on the next day 8/1— and this time it worked. But since the first request yesterday failed and the service wasn’t completed as promised, I don’t feel the $125 was fairly earned because I didn’t receive the immediate service I paid for when I needed it most.

I had a Perk at Work for a discounted AAA membership. I then went to the AAA page and paid for the membership with the discount code. When AAA sent me a link to activate my account, it would not allow me to, saying I had an expired membership that has to be renewed instead. The problem is they ALREADY CHARGED ME! And refused to refund my money and stated I had to go through my employer to resolve the issue. I asked why I had to do that, if AAA collected my money and sent me a receipt with the order# on it? All customer "no-service" rep would say is contact your employer. So, in the end, AAA took my money and gave me no membership. I was ripped off by AAA with no help at all. I will NEVER use them again. I will look for an alternative. Good riddance AAA!

Needed a tow for a 2024 Cadillac- was in a small town in Michigan about 1.5 hours away from home. AAA tried 3 tow companies, then said they could not do nothing till morning leaving us stranded in this town with one bar- which was closed. They waited 2.5 hours to even tell us this. Been loyal customers for over 10 years- the first tow company we called said they could do it so we paid out of pocket to get it towed. Talked with supervisor Rita, she made all kinds of excuses - would not even tell us which tow companies they tried but that they were busy.

Received an envelope from AAA in the mail. On the envelope, in RED LETTERS, was a stamp that said, "GLAD TO HAVE YOU BACK!" I opened it as I thought maybe my sister had purchased me a membership. Nope. That stamp was a deceptive practice to get me to open something I normally would have tossed in the trash on the way back from the mailbox. I learned that fact when I found inside not a membership but a lot of sales materials.

I’ve been a member for many years but the past couple years everything about AAA has gone so far downhill that I feel I need to get off of this train wreck! I gave you a saving grace (which you didn’t deserve) when you towed my car at 11pm at night but the tow truck never delivered my car to my house. I spent hours practically in the middle of the night trying to locate my car with no help from anyone at AAA. They said well we called the tow driver and he said he delivered it. Imagine my surprise the next morning at 6am when a sheriff is knocking on my door asking if I lost my car last night! So here’s what happened. The tow driver actually took my car and dropped it off in someone else’s driveway! Yeah.
The woman woke up for work and went to take her dogs out and saw random car parked in her driveway! She couldn’t get out of her own driveway to go to work. The sheriff found my registration in the glove box and came to let me know and AAA couldn’t come and tow it for 4 hours later!!! Even after that I was willing to stay with them.
Until today. Today my husbands F-350 dually truck broke down. I called for a tow. You can’t talk a real person until you go through all the bullshit they ask. Then she says” you will be transferred to your local representative for who will provide your service.” So the local person speaks and begins asking the same damn questions! All I want is a tow! And I’ve been on the phone for 20 minutes already! Finally he tells me “I will get a text from the tow company about when they will be there.” Then guess what happened? NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I got NO text even after an hour later and I wasn’t about to try calling again.
In the end I called around and got a tow myself. Of course I had to pay out of pocket. As I have multiple times in the past due to the time it takes to get a tow I would have bring a meal while I wait. NO THANKS!

My current auto insurance company had already increased my rates by over 106% over the last 3 years, even though I have not had any accident, ticket, DUI, or anything else and even paid my premium in advance and in full for each year.
AAA's advertising is false, and, their claim of saving the potential customer money on their auto insurance is a blatant lie.

We have been "loyal" members of AAA since 1976. Our annual roadside dues are now $165.00. Plus we have purchased AAA memberships past years for our kids and grandkids when they started driving. I remember when AAA used to be a reliable service, getting a tow truck to you within an hour. Now they quote at least a 2-hour wait time to get help. My truck was stuck in a drainage ditch on private property a few days ago. Instead of getting the particulars of my vehicle first, asking if I was safe, I got a lecture on how the tow truck may not want to come up a dirt road, they would have to assess the situation before deciding they would help at all, they don't usually dispatch to private property- blah blah blah.
Excuse me but what have I been 'loyally' paying for--for 49 years?! I have another motor plan specifically for horse owners who haul their horses. I needed their assistance once and they never even questioned whether I was on a dirt road. They showed up within 40 minutes. Maybe I will use them as my motor plan going forward and not renew AAA. AAA service has really tanked. The tow truck driver was awesome, though and got me out of the ditch safely without any damage to my truck. That is the only reason I'm generously giving two stars.

They kept saying they were "checking" and would get back to me but only responded when I messaged them (which prompted several identical and frustrating messages from them). I know the tow distance was long (around 90 miles) but they promise 100 miles towing distance and that's what I've paid for. I waited HOURS outside in the heat. And finally had to call someone else to come pick me up from 2 hours away because I was stranded in a secluded area at night as a woman - because by the time they admitted it wouldn't be "tonight" it was 10 pm and all my options were gone.
Cue next day when they give me a time frame for someone to come get the car and guess what? I get a phone call at the end of the two hour window (after more HOURS of waiting at my car for them to show) that said they had to try a different driver. After another 2 hours, they finally admit that they can't do the tow - people, availability, holiday. If I'd known this earlier, I would've just called a local shop and paid out of pocket but I foolishly believed they would deliver on their promises to their customers. It took a full day for them to finally tell me the truth about their incompetencies and they'd have to wait till Monday (which I already communicated that I couldn't do, as I was in a bad parking area).
Granted, they were polite when talking to me but it doesn't negate the fact that they failed to uphold their end of the agreement (providing the service I pay them for).

Then I needed a tow the same day and got hit with an "expected" $125 "service fee" because it was within the first 3 days of signup. What they don't make clear is that your Plus benefits (like free long-distance towing) don't actually activate for 7 days—until then it’s an extra $7 per mile beyond the basic coverage. I even told them: "Why don't I tow it 3 miles for free today, park it somewhere, and I’ll call you in 7 days to finish the job for free under my Plus benefits? If you waived the mileage fee, that would save you the cost of sending two trucks!" Their rep actually said: "Yeah, I understand it sounds silly." 100% bait-and-switch.

AAA is no longer the company we remember as serving customers with class. They are a rogue company who finds a way to get you to their customer service locations to have your car serviced for a reason that may not be valid. They sell bad batteries through their affiliate, Pete's AAA Mobile Services. Beware especially when you are stranded on the side of the road and have your battery checked. The batteries are inferior to regular batteries. They are designed to lose a charge after 4 days or more. Sometimes before. This is a fact! They don't want to be responsible for anything that goes wrong and will weasel out of their responsibility.
Conveniently, they tested two cars for me. One was owned by a certified mechanic. It needed a battery, and they advised me to take my car to an AAA Service Center. Then did the exact same thing with a Genesis I owned, to the letter. I no longer trust them at all. They've lost their class and gone wrong for profit. There is a Difference between making a profit from a legitimate business and making money from a scamming business. A technician came out to replace a title that lost air with a spare. He bent up one of the lug nuts with the air gun that takes the screw nuts off the tire. The installation tech who replaced my battery lost my battery bracket. Trips to the service center? You're safer just not doing business with them. Facts!

DO NOT USE THEM. AAA used to be the gold standard of roadside assistance - that ship has sailed. Had a check engine light come on in my vehicle last night. Call in was 25 min wait, so I used the "app". After finishing my roadside request my account moved to Request Received - Awaiting Assignment. It stayed there for more than an hour. At this point I called in - was told my information was there - and that my account was assigned just the app hadn't updated.
In years passed, tow drivers or AAA have texted me letting me know a timeline. No text, no call, NO communication whatsoever. After 2 hours - I contacted a local tow company and arranged my own service. The AAA had left me in a very unsavory area - and it was getting dark. I attempted 3 times to call in to cancel my service. No one ever answered so I gave up. My car was towed and I left. At TWELVE FIFTEEN AM they AAA called me to tell me that they weren't able to find a provider to assign my service request to - and that if I wanted I could bill them back for service. I lost it. Stupid game, stupid company, stupid follow up. DO NOT USE.

I called them last night and after getting disconnected on their side twice, they told me it would take 4 hours for someone to come tow my vehicle which was close to some 20 auto shops in the middle of town. Then, they sent someone who couldn't speak a word of English only to call me yelling that my car doors were lock, what? Turns out, the incompetent driver was trying to open a door if some poor dude half a block away ignoring all the info AAA supposedly gave him. So after 15 min, he found my car and towed it in.
Now, I never got a phone call, text or nothing from AAA or the towing company saying they were successful in towing the vehicle. I had to call the shop next morning to make sure he didn’t damage the car and actually towed it there. I am never ever going to subscribe and use their service again.

Another time, I was on the phone with an agent, questioning the bothersome monthly promotion coming from Aaa, promoting life insurance membership while I had subscribed to life insurance, assuring me not to worry about it.

[Requested service in San Jose Ca - spoke to Agent our of Arizona.] My car became undriveable after a tire blew out in a hospital parking garage. I didn’t have a spare, so I contacted AAA to use one of the five-mile tows included in my membership. However, my request was rejected because I wanted the car towed to my home—not a AAA-approved garage. I was questioned about why I wasn’t taking it to one of their approved shops and told that my request would not be honored. I ended up having to borrow a spare tire from someone just to get my car home. This situation was stressful and frustrating, especially when my vehicle clearly couldn’t be driven.

We moved to Florida in 2022, December. Before we closed on our property we contacted AAA insurance. We had a bundle policy in Kentucky and wanted to continue with our new home in Florida. We met with Dawn ** and she walked us through everything we needed to know. From car insurance, an umbrella policy, jewelry, hurricane and flood insurance for our property. Having so many new items in this home, irrigation system using a well, pool equipment, roof solar for heating the pool, a security system, and water purification system to name a few.
She walked us through what’s covered, what’s not, how to get FEMA flood insurance, hurricane insurance and how to prepare for hurricane season. I can call her at anytime and she returns my calls immediately. I could never get a return call from my KY agent. If she goes out of town, the agent covering for her is in contact with me. After three years, she’s still the best person to call for information. She’s so thorough. I think we spent over two hours with her as she explained everything that first visit and again after we bought the property. We call after any updates on the house and any purchase of new cars or property for insurance changes. I am amazed at her organization skills and wealth of information.

This company needs to be audited and severely reprimanded. We used them for their home insurance. They were fine. Good price and coverage. We signed up for autopay each month. No problem. Our year long subscription expired, but we didn't receive notice until after the fact. Since they sent a letter through USPS, we didn't get it until mid-month. No emails, no calls, no texts. Apparently you get 20 days of not paying before they cancel everything. So now, we are out home owners insurance and an auto coverage.
The only reason we knew this is the fact they sent a refund check to us with no explanation. We had a perfect record with them up until this mistake. They refuse to let us pay and get our rates back. We assumed since we have autopay, that meant EVERYTHING was taken out. THEIR COMMUNICATION IS A JOKE AND THIS COMPANY IS PATHETIC. Oh and the best part, it's actually coverage from Progressive they are using as their own. No wonder why this shady business operates the way it does. STAY AWAY!

My recently deceased mother had a AAA membership, and AAA took intentional actions to delay and interfere with providing me a refund for the potion of her membership that was unused due to her death. AAA's supervisors acknowledged to me that AAA sets procedures to direct its representatives to send a check to the deceased member without allowing the heirs of the deceased member the opportunity to first provide documentation showing they are entitled to the funds. When I escalated the matter to AAA's general counsel's office, that office failed to promptly handle and delegate my complaint, failed to respond to basic requests for information, including providing me with my mother's membership agreement that I requested, and otherwise hid behind line-level employees to evade accountability for its organization's misconduct.
After I informed AAA that I was about to file a legal action against AAA, I only then heard from a line-level employee who said that AAA would promptly send me the refund check. However, AAA did no such thing. After requesting that the check be sent via expedited delivery due to the delays that already transpired as a result of AAA's misconduct, AAA deliberately sent the check via the slowest method possible so that it could skimp on mailing costs and hold onto my mother's unused membership funds for as long as possible. Throughout this process, AAA consistently broke its commitments and internal timelines, leading to me not receiving my mother's refund check for nearly six weeks after first requesting it. AAA defended these delays as being consistent with its policies and procedures.
Based on this experience, it is clear that AAA's motto is "Delay Assistance and Evade Accountability at All Costs," even if it means making life more difficult for the loved ones of the deceased. I could only imagine what it would be like to seek roadside assistance from AAA. If they handle the roadside assistance the same way they handled the processing of the refund for my mother's membership, they would delay assistance for hours or even days while justifying such delays as being consistent with their policies and procedures. I advise everyone to be wary of such an organization that prioritizes being cheap over providing assistance to its members or their heirs.

It was AAA that screwed up the address, but this driver went above and beyond to help in a way I’ve never seen before. Despite receiving the wrong location from AAA, he didn’t just give up—He searched the area, asked people nearby if they had seen a breakdown, and worked tirelessly to find my daughter and son, whose car battery had died in the freezing cold. Instead of leaving, he pinned the location with me, texted, called back multiple times, and stayed committed to solving the issue. His dedication was unmatched, and he truly deserves a raise or a cash bonus—this man is a hero.
AAA’s Mishandling of the Situation. The real problem was AAA’s incompetence. After calling them three times, they still had the wrong address. My third call was especially terrible—I was treated rudely, and the stress was so bad that I started shaking and had to take a nitro pill for my heart. AAA also tried to charge me an extra $100 because the first tow truck left after failing to locate them—Which was entirely their fault for providing the wrong location! Meanwhile, my son’s phone was at 1%, and by the time he got the text that the driver would be there in 15 minutes, his phone died, so he couldn’t answer any calls.

I was with AAA for 8 yrs. They have over charged me so I dropped them. They refuse to follow up and correct my billing problems they have caused me. Back found the charges were fraudulent twice and remove it. Now they put me in collections without proper billing and return all my calls. This has been going on since Aug. I do not recommend them for any insurance needs. Refuse to return calls or correct their wrong billing for me. A terrible experience still happening now. Sick how they treat customers after you drop them. Had to switch cards because of their constant mistakes. NOT WORTH THE INSURANCE ISSUES THEY CAUSE. Sick and very bad customer service in Eau Claire WI. Bad bad.

Last night I called for a tow truck at 1:00 in the morning and I am attaching an image of what I was told by the AAA members. I waited for an hour and 40 minutes on a slow night with no holiday and I could not get what I pay for. I will be going to every single site that I can review and giving you the poorest review on AAA service. They have gone downhill so bad and their people are even worse. To be told at 1:00 in the morning that they were going to have to reschedule it for the next day was an absolute joke and atrocity.

I have been a member of AAA for 19 years. On 2/20/25 I sent a check for $93.00 to renew my membership. They insist that they did not receive the check and I explained to them that it my bank informed me that it was mailed. I was told my membership is overdue and to send another check. Obviously, after several phone calls to get this resolved, I needed to cancel my membership.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars (ZERO wasn't allowed). Phoned AAA for assistance with a boat… Phoned AAA for assistance with a boat trailer tire. After the seemingly endless recorded menu tree got a recording directing me to a text message which puts you on a text menu tree that offered no option for a boat trailer tire. Back on the menu tree finally able to speak to a person. They informed me AAA Plus membership doesn't include trailer being towed. We cancelled our AAA RV Plus because they left us stranded on the interstate because they only change the outside tire of a 2 tired axel and the inside tire blew.
I said I would pay for the trailer tire to be serviced if they could dispatch someone. The rep said they don't do that either. She didn't offer to give me a number of a tire service to come out and said I would have to find this on my own. We (myself, My Wife and 2 children) have been members since 1989. Luckily I was able to use my phone to locate a road service to help. I don't recommend AAA roadside assistance. I will find a better option. Date of experience: March 19, 2025.

Tamiko was the mechanic who arrived within a half hour from my call. He was capable, mannerable, and capable...he towed my car, helped me in and out the truck. Tamiko was a refreshing breeze in the middle of this upsetting time. He is a great rep for AAA, thank you Tamiko for great service!!!

Edwardo provided outstanding AAA service! He responded immediately, and I could track his real-time location. He called me to confirm details and knew exactly what to ask, including whether I had the key for the locking lug nut. This wasn’t my Toyota 4Runner—I had hit something on the road, causing a gash and an immediate flat. Edwardo arrived in under 15 minutes, worked quickly, and was extremely knowledgeable. We were very grateful for his efficiency and professionalism. Highly recommend his service!

Customer service rude and speaking to managers does nothing. Was hung up on and and still no update. Sent a pull behind tow truck and I asked for flatbed and now I'm still waiting and I have to be at work.

Keep your money! These people are a rip off… the last few times no one ever showed to get my car. Their automated computer will tell you someone is on their way, two hours later you text and ask where are they at and it will tell you the same thing again they’re getting you an update and you never hear back until you text the number again. We actually got a trailer and haul the vehicle ourselves back to the house And they never called again to tell us someone’s on the way or nothing. Now here we are again sitting in the middle of nowhere 30 miles from our house, but they can’t get nobody to come get us. I’m not sure what our money is paying for other than people to sit at home and give you the runaround.. I’m done!

Worst level of service. I've ordered my sister's card over 2 months ago and still didn't receive a card. I have called and spoke w a few reps and no clear answers. TERRIBLE WAY TO TREAT CUSTOMERS AAA. LOUSY SERVICE. The rep I last spoke with wouldn't even assure me that she would personally follow up with management instead, she wanted me to stay on hold (after leaving me on hold longer than 10 minutes) and insisted that on transferring me..

I am AAA member and my car broke down on my way to gym around 6:50. I call AAA at 7am. I was told that the tow driver will be there by 7:56 am, around 8:02 I contact AAA again and I was told that my order is not on the system that it was cancel. I asked why, they can’t answer. I have to reschedule another towing again. My day was messed up by their action.

Horrible experience. I paid for the premier membership for the purpose of a battery in case I ever needed it. Today I needed it, and the only person who told me that it was not covered was the driver. When I called, I got the run around and they refuse to honor what I purchased. When I asked to cancel, o 'tis another run around.

Awful service, they don't keep you up to date when a tow truck or company will be coming for assistance. They don't text you updates or follow-up with you. They used to be decent in emergencies, now they're crap!

There is NO service in their road service. Have paid for the AAA Gold, extended mileage, road service for years. Tonight our car stalled out at a stoplight at a busy intersection so we called. We placed the car in park in an attempt to restart only to find we could not get it out of park and into neutral. No human answered at AAA. Instead an automated voice told us to check our texts for a link to a form. We had to fill out a long form on line - for “prompter service - in order to get service with a promise of text updates. No text updates were ever received.
After over half an hour of nothing called again and somehow got a human. Her response? Call 911 - and she had no knowledge of when the truck would arrive. Nor did she care! She just said “you are being recorded, call 911.” I do not recommend AAA. We were in the middle of a busy city with many nearby service stations and the tow truck that Finally arrived was from a city 40 minutes away.

I called AAA and requested a tow. I told them I did not feel safe at this location. They assured me a truck would arrive within 30-45 minutes. I was there 4 hours and they kept telling me 10 more minutes….for 4 hours.

The gas gauge malfunctioned on my husband's truck this morning, and he was left stranded on the interstate. From the time I put in the claim, until Dennis arrived with gas, was less than 20 minutes. Dennis was also very kind and professional. I can't say enough about how great he is! Thanks Dennis, and AAA.
