i guess its hit or miss with them. i've had 2 experiences with them. 1 hit and 1 miss.

1st: had a blow out about 30 miles north of victoria. AAA wrecker showed up in 15 minutes.

2nd: had to have an awd eclipse towed to my house, took AAA wrecker 3.5 hrs to show up.

its still a good insurance to have.

WTF, they gave him some lame *** excuse that they need some thing and only one tow truck in Houston has it, bull ****.
Did he call back for updates on the status of the wrecker? Or did he just sit there and wait?

it doesnt matter which insurance company you got, if you need a tow truck, its gonna take'em a freakin long time...period!!! so expect to wait at least 3 hrs for all your tow truck needs . I think im gonna open up an LS1 exclusive tow trucking service with an ASAP service to all LS1 tech members

Yeah, he called back a ton of times and got the same lame excuse. My TA broke in that area once and it took me about 2.5 hours to get a wrecker to me. Another time when I needed a tow from my house to MTI it took them like 15 minutes to get there.
