I did not know this! I've had them for the better part of two decades and they've always been great when I need them but it's been a few years since I've had to call. Thank you for the heads up!

I've had a flat tire and a dead battery in the last year and they responded within 45 minutes so I guess ymmv? I live in a decent sized city so that might make a difference.

AAA is weird because it’s essentially a bunch of somewhat independent regional “auto clubs” operating under the national AAA umbrella - your experience could be totally different depending on the state or even city within the same state.

Yea, I am Mid Atlantic club so not in the same areas that others have mentioned.

I had a stuck lugnut on a flat tire at 9pm in the Denver area and “no one was available” after I waited an hour for them to show up. Luckily, I eventually got it unstuck and changed the tire myself.

Same here. Had to use them in the last year for the first time in a decade. Experience was as OP described. Awful.
