AAA

[Jim Jordan]

Hi All,

>From my experience when I had AAA, the tow is to the
_nearest_repair_shop_that_can_fix_your_car.  I once had my car hauled ~200
miles on the back of a Jerrdan at my own cost, for the time being, because
AAA wanted to tow me to a garage in Roanoke, VA.  I got some reimbursement
from somebody but not a lot from AAA. I did that to avoid having somebody in
Roanoke work on it a long way from where I lived and I trusted the wrench I
had it towed to.

BTW, AAA in Arizona wouldn't reimburse the cost of a torn CVJ caused by a
AAA dispatched tow;  however, California AAA did for "good will"(and to shut
me up).

Cheers!

Jim Jordan
