Stories from AAA Members
We're always there to help AAA Members get back on the road safely.
“I was locked out of my car, which was sitting in front of my house. I made a AAA service request online, and the technician came out. He was courteous and introduced himself, and quickly went to work getting my driver's door open. He was done in 90 seconds and shook my hand goodbye. I love kind and quick service, especially for something as nerve-racking as locking your keys in your car.”—Joseph M., California
“I locked my keys in my car, and your technician saved the day! The service was fast, professional and efficient. It was a miracle that I arrived at the airport on time!”—Renata H., California
“I called for roadside assistance in Folsom, CA after locking my keys in the trunk of my car. The technician responded and was absolutely wonderful. Because the trunk is impossible to open without a key, he drove me to my home in El Dorado Hills, where I got a locksmith to open my door, so I could get my spare key. The technician then drove me back to my car in Folsom. I can't thank him enough.”—Kerrye S., California
“I locked myself out while the car was on. I panicked, but I remembered I had AAA. The process of getting roadside assistance was fast and easy. Within minutes I had someone on the way to assist. The locksmith AAA sent did such a fast job and was informative and helpful. Fully satisfied.”—Rubi A., California
