AAA Mid-Atlantic

We had Triple A for over 12 years and was fortunate to be able to use them on 3 separate occasions. One of the many issues I have with them why do the fees continuously rise every year… we were paying almost $ 120.00 yearly for just in case purposes. So I gave them a call and their reason for the increase was inflation.
For a loyal customer I would assume they would offer some type of discount and was told that wasn’t going to happen. Then we had the opportunity to use them to make travel reservation. From their own words, book all reservations on-​line (before on-​line reservation became popular) or speak to a representative and be charged an extra fee if they reserved anything for us. You are only offered 10% discount and that discount goes towards the tax and not the actual rate… in which I thought was a bunch of scrap if you ask me.
Any-​hew, we decided to drop them and work with our insurance agency whenever in need to be towed for whatever reason. At least we can have a rental car at our disposal if any of the cars requires maintenance.
PS: If you are a Costco member they provide excellent services for hotel reservation — we had to use them 4 years ago when we were trying to leave Florida due to weather problems and everything was booked up until we reached Savannah, GA.

I think everyone should have a membership in the American Automobile Association (AAA). I’ve had one for most of my adult driving career — it’s an invaluable assurance that you can get help in an emergency. I’ve always had the AAA Plus Membership — it gives you a larger towing mileage allowance. I think I pay about $ 100 a year for the privilege of their services.
I needed to use them this week — my Honda’s car battery was dead. I called them — they gave me the option of sending out their Battery Replacement service instead of a tow truck.
I opted to try this service — they quoted me about an hour until someone could arrive — but the guy was there in about 25 minutes, He tested my battery — sure enough — it was dead — alternator tested fine.
He gave me the option of installing a new battery on the spot — or just giving me a jump start. I opted to try the jump start first. He pulled out a small electronic charging device — connected it to my battery — and told me to give it a try. I was surprised at how small the device was. I guess they don’t user jumper cables any more if they can avoid it.
My car sputtered, then turned over, and started (it had been sitting for about six months without any usage). He advised me NOT to turn off the car — I thanked him — asked if I needed to sign anything — he told me no — and I was off on my way to Moore Automotive in the City of Fairfax to drop off the car for service.
The address for this listing is the headquarters address for the Mid-​Atlantic office of AAA — they have lots of local offices all across the Mid-​Atlantic.
