Services offered by AAA Roadside Assistance
American Automobile Association (AAA) is a non-profit federation that was formed in 1902. AAA is one of the largest travel organizations. More than 56 million members from the United States and Canada provide a wide range of services, including insurance, finance, and automotive-related services. However, AAA is particularly known for its roadside assistance services. These include:
Mobile Battery Services
A discharged battery is of the most common problems faced during peak winters and rainy season. Moreover, the average lifespan of car batteries in extreme weather range anywhere from three to five years. So, AAA conducts battery tests at home and offers roadside assistance in the event of battery discharge during a road trip.
Towing
AAA roadside assistance comes in handy if your car is totaled and you are stranded in the middle of the freeway. Depending on your level of membership, AAA will tow the vehicle to your home or a garage, whichever is the nearest. They can help you tow your vehicle to a destination up to 200 miles.
Miscellaneous roadside assistance
There can be multiple reasons other than a discharged car battery or a breakdown that can leave you stranded on the side of a road.
