Our Roadside Assistance Services

We’ll tow your vehicle to a gas or EV charging station, AAA Approved Auto Repair Center, or your mechanic. Towing mileage varies based on Membership plan.

Our technicians will come to you to test your battery and provide a diagnosis. We can give you a jump start or a tow.

When a jump isn’t doing the trick, we can swap in a new battery. Buy a AAA battery6 (which comes with a three-year warranty and at least a $32 discount) and we’ll install it on the spot

If you run out of fuel, we’ll bring you enough to get you to the nearest gas station. (Classic Members will pay for fuel cost.) Diesel fuel delivery is available upon request in some locations.

We’ll install your usable spare, reinflate your tire, or tow your vehicle, depending on the damage to your tire.

Locked out? We’ll send roadside assistance to unlock your vehicle or give you a tow, regardless of your Membership level.

Our drivers are trained to provide minor adjustments (not requiring parts or supplies) to help get your vehicle running again.

If you’re stranded, we’ll transport you and your passengers to a safe place. Mileage varies based on Membership plan.

If your vehicle gets stuck, you may need winching, or extrication. If dislodging the vehicle requires extra service personnel or trucks, or if the vehicle isn’t easily accessible from a public road, you may need to pay extra.
