I fired AAA permanently after we paid for membership for years, and the first time we actually needed a tow from them, it took over 9 HOURS for them to do it, all the while doing the "20 more minutes" deal. Fortunately, the car was sitting in our driveway, but I took the morning off (turned out to be the whole day) and spent almost the entire day on the phone with them.Chris Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422111995801620071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401894034548115444.post-62766253666719988762012-07-21T23:06:55.570-05:002012-07-21T23:06:55.570-05:00Thanks, Kathy!

I have a can ... in the T-bird. ;-) And the fact that they responded to a FLAT without air ... that was the last straw.<br /><br />Karen Anne: Yeah, but my beef isn't with OnStar. They need to do a better job of screening responders! Keeping water is a good idea. I have a blanket. Water and my chilly towel would have been great to have!NVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833093597689579655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6401894034548115444.post-66462483831788769822012-07-20T06:30:25.244-05:002012-07-20T06:30:25.244-05:00p.s.
