The ones that have towed my son's car have been pretty good - no problems at all. I guess it depends on the local area. <RantMode> One of my many pet peeves of living in the DC area. Around here, the

Another part of the equation is the wife. Having a single number right in her wallet to call and take her, the kid, and the car home is quite nice. It's also guaranteed that the person showing up wil

I never really understood the appeal of AAA. Some folks seem to believe that without AAA, you will be forced to sit stranded on the side of the road until you slowly die of starvation. Even without A

Towing insurance can be really cheap if added in with your car insurance. State Farm charges us $3.80 every 6-month policy period. That's per car, so in total for our 3 modern cars we pay $22.80 per

Does AAA have any restrictions on the 100 mile towing thing? Like only a certain number of times a year or to the nearest dealer up to 100 miles away or whatever? It'd be worth it for insurance to m

There is a sharp limit on the number of times per year ... 3 I think. Also, a normal AAA membership is only good for something like 15 miles (at least in CA), you need the 'plus' membership to get t
