AAA towing Quattro

[Ed Kellock]

Nope.  Called the AAA 800 number and they sent who they sent.  We got to the
mechanics shop and the driver was on the phone with the AAA dispatch center.
I got on the phone and that's what they told me.  No police report, no tow
coverage.  I argued about "enforement" versus membership and customer
service, etc. and explained that the police just never showed up and I was
fine and there was no other property damage but my car and I sure didn't
feel like I needed any assistance and they would not drop my car until I
paid them for the tow.
