A pretty good buy, I have it for my wife and youngest daughter, the older one bought it on her own once she started making some money & bought a house.  The tire repair is handy for the girls, but the part I like is the "Trip Tics" for road travel, together w/ the book on motels/hotels.  Those make road travel pretty easy--particularly since I can't figure out how to make the damn electronic gps locator work--talk about money down the drain.  The instructions could be in Ancient Hittite for all they tell me about making the thing work.

Mel, I have been a member since about '86.  It seems to be a pretty good deal, especially in relation to other auto clubs. Plus I think AAA is the best.  Use it once a year and you've paid for your membership.  I've had them come to unlock my car (with keys locked inside) and also I had them come to my house to change a tire.  The tow service is what will really save you money and alot of hotels, restaurants, and car rentals offer AAA discounts.

I think it's worth it.

My wife and I have been members since the late 80's and it has always been a good thing for us. It was real handy when we were both driving old cars that would have mechanical problems now and then.

I have used the roadside assistance many times when I have been riding with others that have locked their keys in their car or a battery dies.

They have good deals on hotels and stuff too.

We stop by AAA if we are going on a trip and they provide a tour book, maps and other types of info for free.

Been with AAA since the 70's but there is one down side... the price for their insurance!

We have been members for a while now. It has saved me quite a bit in towing, that's for sure.
