I got dropped by AAA on the first and I'm shopping for a new provider.
So far, everyone wants to tow me to "their" nearest approved garage and charge me per mile afterwards if I want to go to mine.
I've asked what happens if I break down across the street from the approved shop, do I have to pay for a 99 mile tow just to get home? (No answer yet.)
Does anyone know of a roadside assistance provider that will tow me where I want to go instead of where they want me to go
Roadside Assistance?
never heard of anyone getting dropped by AAA, was this after getting towed during a previous incident / year ??
been a member 31 years, gold card Plus member, I use it probably once a year for something , jump start, key lock out, and usually not for me, I just act like its for me

I hadn't used anything all year.
When I tried to use the 100 mile tow that I paid for to go 86 miles, they charged me $500 and then dropped me for over use.

wow, I always wondered about that, cause my shop is right next to that little auto shop and if I ever need it, I would want my vehicle towed all the way back to the shop, I would wanna use as much of that 100 miles as possible, I also have the road side asst with Geico, so I wonder if you could tell them take it as far as you will , then call AAA and have them take over from there ??
I have Geico and wondered about the road side assistance ,if it was of any use.

I have been paying for the gold plan for 12 years. I have the 4-100 miles towing and have used it before to tow right back to my house. Never had a problem.
One of my TDPRI buddies just told me about AMA roadside assistance.
They have a three year deal for membership at $147 and roadside assistance is free!
They only offer a free 35 mile tow, but they go where I say go and not their choice of shops.
You don't even have to have a motorcycle, they cover cars, vans and light trucks.

Regarding AAA - I thought one needed an upgraded Gold membership to get them to tow you 100 miles anywhere you wanted to go. A regular membership has different rules.
I have AAA as I have a couple beater cars in the fleet!
I have heard that if you request more than three tows a year, they might drop you but you are the first I heard of that they actually dropped.
AAA was always pretty good for me other than a few times they had me waiting hours in the heat for the truck to show up. One time the driver refused to tow me were I wanted and then he towed me to his yard. They he wanted me to pay all these storage fees as ransom for an overnight stay. Then I had to have it towed again. I called AAA and told them what occurred and they cut me a check for his rip off fees that kidnapper charged me and AAA dropped him!
