Service Limitations

Service will be limited to the equipment ordinarily used for road service by the service provider serving the area. Service will not be provided when the disabled vehicle cannot be safely reached or serviced without causing damage to the vehicle or servicing equipment. Service may not be used as a substitute for regular maintenance necessary to keep your vehicle in good operating condition. AAA membership may not be used by a business or organization to provide service for its customers, employees or vehicles.

The following services are not provided under the membership benefit:
  • Towing to transport vehicles due to a purchase, sale, disposal, auction transaction, car show exhibition, relocation or similar situations.
