My wife and I came in on Friday 7/10 and meet with Tony for flight arrangements. We had a wonderful experience and Tony went above and beyond. I would highly recommend that everyone use Tony Le for their arrangements. I can not say enough good things about him and would give him 6 stars if I could. read more

I love that I can come here on a Saturday at 12 noon and get my new registration sticker here in less than 10 minutes. I can't imagine going to the DMV on the week because I am so busy with work and it's hard to take off time. Everyone was super kind, friendly, and efficient. Thank you so much for the service provided and requested! I will definitely be back soon! I need to check out more of the good value discounts forsure! Lots of parking around the front parking lot as well! read more

My wife and I used to have AAA Roadside Assistance years ago and due to all the different auto insurance companies offering roadside assistance support we had stopped using AAA until I realized the best roadside assistance value for dollars had always been AAA. They had a recent promotion whereby I could include our daughter and her children which now drive at a great price, so I called them up and in just a small amount of time their representatives were able to put the whole program together and now there are 5 of us on the AAA plan with access to all the benefits that are available along with roadside assistance, traveling discounts, etc. Glad to have them watching our backs. read more

Dear AAA Costa Mesa, Wonderful experience here, the people are kind. Got help with my yearly sticker for car registration. The whole process was easy and quick. What is easier is having so many different areas for membership, insurance, dmv, and other services available right away. I came right away in the early morning to get all done right away. Definitely recommended to have early morning wake up in you to come. Parking is easy and they have so many great parts to take care of here. Including driver training too. Check it out and people up front help and are so kind. read more

Very helpful and nice got all my needs met registration & smog ! Decent price too. Will be coming back for any car needs.

I have been a AAA multi policy member for 30 years. I've never been treated more poorly than I was today by Mike Hernandez at the Costa Mesa branch. I removed a vehicle from my policy because we sold it and my rate increased. My husband has been given a company vehicle to drive so our mileage on the other cars will not change. According to Mike we have to pay for mileage that we won't be driving. I will be cancelling this policy and ending my 30 year relationship with AAA. read more

They are quick and provide the best service. I recently came in two different times for auto registration and home insurance and I don't have anything but nice words to say about their service. Would recommend!! read more

Seller Kerry Petersen Actually cero starts I thought it was a reputable insurance company that didn't change its mind every day, unless all you wanted was to charge me. How is it that you went and asked your supervisors last time and they said you could sell it to me? First you said no, then yes, and now again No, snd charged the option again. Or are you the one who doesn't know snd you don't have experience? You know what? I'd better get my money back if I buying triple A, I'm going to go to another salesperson who knows what they're doing. read more

Hit some debris and my car was leaking what seemed like water or something minor. Called AAA and Pamela over the phone told me they would give a quick inspection to see if anything was wrong before requiring a tow. Two towing companies kept requesting payment for the next hour with no inspection and not fulfilling what we were told would happen. Customer service was not helpful, would not answer questions, or be able to explain why an agent would lie. When we called back, we could not get ahold of that agent and there was no accountability. Very disappointing. Our first experience with this branch and hopefully our last. read more

My Agent Amanda Cordova was great and my service was great by her and I've had you guys for quite a while. You guys are great thank you.

The gentleman from the smog center Carlos and Bassey they were so professional and kind. The nice lady inside the office Kim helped me with my DMV tag payment, nice smile and so friendly. I enjoy this office and the Irvine one. read more

I am a senior citizen and my mother used to advise me to get AAA because she said they were thee best. Today my wife's car battery died. She called roadside assistance. An hour later a tow truck arrives with NO battery. They tested her battery and said it is dead. The tow truck driver said they will have a battery in a week. Not tomorrow, not in two days, not three days, not four days, not five days, not six days.............a "WEEK"? This is not the AAA that my mom advised me of. I have been with AAA for 40 years. This is not the AAA that I remember from decades ago. So I called the manager of Road Side assistance, and she told me that she would get someone in about an hour. I called an hour later and she said she would get someone in about an hour. I went online and found the corporate office in Costa Mesa on their website. One of the pages of their website says "AAA Headquarters & Corporate Office AAA headquarters is located at 3333 Fairview Road , Costa Mesa, California 92626, phone number 877-552-4934 where you can reach the management team and the head office leading departments. When I called, I was told that I cannot speak to the management team and the head office leading departments. All I am allowed to speak with is the manager that is neither solving my problem, not ensuring that no other AAA member has to suffer this absolute incompetence. How can a tow truck company be allowed to represent and serve AAA members if it takes them a week to order a battery. Does it take them a week to order a few gallons of gas if you run out of gas on the road? I cannot believe that AAA service has declined this badly. I cannot believe that upper management hides behind low level supervisors and managers. That is a sure sign of apathy and incompetence. AAA needs a DOGE visit. read more

I called AAA with some questions about a DMV letter, and Jesse Marie was absolutely incredible! He was kind, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable, answering every question with patience and clarity. He even added a little humor and friendly banter that made me feel completely at ease. AAA is lucky to have someone like Jesse! read more

Professional staff, ease of getting things done. Came in to remove a car from my insurance . I don't really understand the way insurance companies think because I took a car off and my insurance went up. It's cheaper to leave a car sitting in the driveway not used and insured . silly read more

I met your AAA rep at the O.C. Fair I think it was as. 8-3-25. His booth was set up right inside one of the entrances. I walked right over as I had been wanting to get the great service you have always offered. I only wanted to get the towing service, battery start, etc. I have had AAA for about 35yrs. Recently I let it lapse due to financial reasons. The Reps name was Angel and he hooked me up w all that I needed. Very patience, kind, and helpful. Overall he provided an awesome experience and plan for me. Thanks Angel, Julie read more

Horrible company. Bait and switch, got a multi policy discount now 7 weeks later because the incompetent broker Kerry Petersen and the branch manager Hamilton didn't realize they don't insure the area this year because of last years fires. Getting billed an extra $500 for their mistake. Easy to understand not covering fire but own you're stupidity. The 5 star reviews are for the AAA office that sells memberships not these creeps. Neither person mentioned even returned a call. Maybe other AAA agencies might be better but even the corporate person was a condescending jackass. read more

I spoke with Mrs. Olga M. From corporate billing. And she was amazing. She helped me bring down my payments tremendously. She was so patient and so kind I couldn't not leave a review for her. I couldn't find the corporate account through yelp so I'm doing it on the only AAA that came up on yelp in Costa Mesa. Her customer service was on point. She helped me beyond what I expected. Service that I requested was in billing and she did more than expected. I absolutely value the customer service! Thank you for your service and may God bless you! read more

Buyer beware! Crooked company do not purchase AAA auto. Canceled policy because they are the most ridiculously priced, at time of closing rep stated 0 due. A month later got a bill for 250 when I called to ask for clarification. They could not give a detailed response. Then they slap it on my credit report saying refusal to pay. Never experienced such crooked and shady business as I did with AAA. Other auto companies just cancel with no hidden fees!!! read more

This location had a good amount of parking (we went to the Auto Insurance section). We waited under 10 minutes on a weekday afternoon to be helped, and there was plenty of seating, which looked new and clean. The building is larger than the Birch location, though also busier. Katelyn helped us, and she worked to resolve a couple of issues we had with our account. She was very friendly and made sure we had what we needed! Overall, I'd recommend this AAA location. TIP: you can get your vehicle smogged at this location. While we did not use this particular service, it was our first time finding out that it was available at this location. read more

The reviews here are a mixed bag and like most places of business, you will encounter great staff and sometimes not so nice ones. Thankfully for us we were fortunate to have experienced not only courteous, but very friendly and respectful AAA staffers when we visited the last Saturday of August. It was all of our first time at this particular AAA location with the spacious parking lot and we purposely came with the intention of obtaining an International Driver's Permit (IDP). To note, AAA is the only US organization authorized by the US Department of State to issue IDPs. So, anyone planning to rent a car and drive in any of the 150 countries (AAA has a list of these countries) must carry an IDP as it's the only recognized form of identification in order to drive abroad legally. This is my second time getting an IDP and both times the process has been painless. It's $20 for the IDP and $5 for two photos (which can be taken and immediately printed at AAA) if you don't bring your own passport sized photos. Once obtained, the IDP is valid for one year from the date stamped on the cover. Real reason for this review is because I just wanted to give a shout-out to Ray C. and the girl at the reception desk for being extremely patient and super kind while helping us! While Ray was helping us process the IDP, we were chatting and the topic of car registration came up. I mentioned that my sticker never came in the mail for last year's dues even after I paid for my vehicle registration online like I usually do annually. Mine happens to be due again and even though I didn't have my letter from the DMV with me, Ray informed us that all we needed was the VIN (which can be found on your vehicle insurance card) for him to pull up the car information. I paid for the renewal of my car registration and received my new sticker. So easy and no waiting for it to be mailed from the DMV! Thank you, Ray! read more

Amalia is simply the best at customer service! This Triple AAA Team here believes in helping their customers!!!

Everybody should change insurances. I got into an accident off of the off ramp that wasnt Even My fault. A drunk driver crashed into a tree and his debris landed on the road. As a result multiple Cars Not just mine hit The Debris. When i filed the claim they said it was my fault even though some stupid drunk driver was the result of my accident. I had no control what So ever and they pushed hard to make it seem like my fault when I've been with them over 10 years. They didnt even try to fight for me and they even tried to go after the other guys insurance after blaming me. Now I'm paying double the amount after I driven so long to reduce my monthly payment. SWITCH INSURANCES WHILE YOU STILL CAN. read more

Had to get my tags renewed and the process was very timely and flawless. Took my truck registration in to get the tags renewed, checked in at the main desk and was told my name would be called. Barely sat down after walking about 100 feet, and boom I had paid 2 minutes later and was out the door in less than 10 minutes. And I went at the end of the day when they were closing in less than 20 minutes when I got there. Very professional and helpful. Great job here read more

This place is the best! I needed to get my car smogged ($59), registered and get a real ID. With an appointment all of that was completed in under 30 minutes. Hurray! This is a great place for those annoying DMV visits or to grab maps... get something notarized or get your passport photo taken..a one stop shop for all those little errands. read more

Barbara provided the most excellent customer service today while assisting me with registration and title transfer. She was pleasant and went above and beyond to make sure everything was complete. read more

So I don't want to say anyone here was rude however the lack of knowledge or wanting to help is where my issue is I bought a 1967 car it is on current non operational use I applied for title only on the vehicle California DMV website clearly says a title only transfer or sale is not subject to tax I showed this to them and she said "well this is how I was trained and we can't do that here" I've done it before multiple times I showed her what I was reading on DMVs website and she didn't want to see if someone else could Help again not being rude about it but definitely wasn't helpful read more

Terrible customer service. Agent Vince Aranda talks the talk until he gets your money, then you are left in limbo. He does not answer emails, does not answer his phone or return calls. After 42 years either AAA, I will not be renewing with them. read more

Service is horrible, they lie to your face. Every time I talk to someone different it's a different story. I have been with them for 20 years and this is how they treat their loyal customers?? All they want is to sell you the most expensive plan, they do not care about you. All they want is your money. I had to talk to a supervisor to be able to make changes to both my home insurance and auto. I had to reduce coverage because the prices hiked so much even though I have never filed a claim or been in a car accident or ticket. This will probably be the last time I renew with them. I will be looking for someone else cheaper and with better customer service. read more

Came here this morning to renew my car registration and this place is huge. Kaitlyn was very helpful with my service today. There are lots of booths in case you need anything for your car needs and traveling. This place is much nicer and quicker service than any DMV I've been to. read more

Customer service was excellent. Service was fast and smooth, not too busy, enough parking for members and staff were very helpful/ friendly. I came to have my real ID done. I was so happy I chose this place. As much as possible I will avoid going to the DMV for any services that AAA can do. read more

I don't like to write negative reviews but this one is necessary. July 16th I bought two policies through AAA Costa Mesa. Renter's went through with no problem. My auto policy has not. It's been 30 days and I still have not received my proof of insurance. AAA says I have auto insurance but with no proof I can't drive my car. I have been trying to touch base with the manager, Nick Torres, who is supposed to be handling my problem but multiple calls later he has not responded to my request for an update. This has cost me an additional $100 because I could not cancel my policy with Liberty Mutual (it's leaving the state) without AAA proof of insurance. In 10 days my Liberty Mutual insurance will end and unless AAA solves my problem I will be unable to take my car out. If I cancel my policies with AAA I believe they will charge me cancellation fees and I've already paid twice for the last 30 days. Nick's supervisor will be my next call. I wish it hadn't come to this. read more

Absolute incompetence. When the pandemic hits and there's a employee shortage, I guess that means AAA will hire any IDIOT that can breathe and barely graduated high school. I talked to no less than three phone reps requesting to SCHEDULE a tow for the following morning. The first rep told me the tow wasn't possible. I was trying to move my dormant/non-operational car from my driveway to a storage yard. The idiot rep named "Precious" assumed I said junkyard (didn't bother to clarify) and told me they don't provide that type of towing service. I asked her if the decision was done by AAA or the tow provider. She said the provider and when I asked to verify with the provider, she audibly huffed (it sounded like my request put her in respiratory depression) and kept stammering trying to come up with the information. I hung up in disgust. When you reach an idiot customer service rep, the best plan short of leaving the service altogether is hang up, call again, and hope you don't get a moron on the other end. Second rep was named "Joslyn" - seemed competent for the most part - verified that my membership (been with them for a few decades through family membership and branched out on my own) was valid for up to four tows 100 miles away. She further confirmed that I could tow to whichever "destination of my choice", except for junk yards. See the difference? Unlike "Precious" (her name must've gotten to her head) - who assumed I was towing to a junkyard, Joslyn verified what I had said - which was towing to a storage unit where you pay monthly rent for space/unit. Joslyn was great until the part where she was helping me schedule a tow for the following morning. Except she didn't. While she was asking me the pickup/dropoff locations, I started getting text alerts to my phone notifying me that a tow driver was dispatched... another one that said a driver was on the way to my home... and a third text that said driver's ETA was about 30 minutes. I brought this up to Joslyn and confirmed with her that a driver wasn't being sent out today, but tomorrow - since I was trying to handle all of this during my lunch break at work. She said she'd notate my account and email the dispatch team so they can reschedule to the following morning (a request I made when I first started the call and multiple times throughout). Needless to say, after we hung up, about 15 minutes later, the tow driver called me to tell me his driver was on his way to my home. I clarified that I wanted it scheduled tomorrow. Guy said his driver was already enroute and he'd try to cancel. I know these guys work fast, and these services aren't cheap. They'd save so much more time and money if the AAA call center wasn't completely incompetent. Third call was to cancel my membership and request a prorated refund. I spoke to Theresa, who initially was gung-ho about me cancelling my membership (nice way to treat a long-time member). When she clarified what I wanted, she pulled up the notes the previous rep took and realized that the rep had just notated that I wanted to schedule for following morning, but didn't actually reach out to dispatch to tell them - which is why they subsequently sent a driver out. Third rep was able to straighten things out - but seriously, this was for a tow for a car I just wanted to move from my home to a storage unit. If I had been in an accident or stranded in the middle of the freeway or something - and I had to deal with absolute morons who somehow survived a full lobotomy - definitely would not be a happy camper. Despite my long time membership, and rarely utilizing any service calls allotted to members each year - I resorted to going through Yelp for a independent towing service provider altogether. This is proof that AAA membership is not worth it. At the cost of $89+ a year, and zero service calls the past few years - they've gotten more money than they deserve from me at this point. If you can't provide a basic service like towing - your company's bread and butter when it comes to roadside assistance, "membership" is no use to me. My current car comes standard with roadside assistance and so does my auto insurance through State Farm. AAA customer service has gone down the sewage. Going to cancel my membership and request a refund on Tuesday when their offices open up. The level of incompetence is astounding and unacceptable. It's like they took all the rejects that got fired or tested out of working at the DMV, and dragged them over to staff their call center. And don't blame the pandemic. Not a valid excuse when you're AAA. I work in healthcare and have managed fine. No excuse for incompetence. Train your people better or hire people with some sense of customer service. read more

Zero Stars I'm so disappointed by the poor service. I would never recommend them to anyone after my experience. They are very responsive to help when taking your money to sign up. After that, if there are any problems- good luck. I fell for their "We can save you a lot of money" mailer. A month after signing up I get a cancellation letter because my house had a wood roof. I disclosed this when signing up. I had to start all over and get different home and auto insurance. The experience was awful and deceptive. The service from my agent (who never answers the phone and rarely returns calls) was so disappointing. Buyer Beware - you get what you pay for. read more

Is there a negative star here? I recently got into an accident over a week ago involving my Toyota and the adjuster that was assigned to my claim is Rachel Todd. She is shady as she only cares about her company's earnings. I am about to leave California and just fly home to my home state and she's still playing hide and seek; hard to get. She'll put words into people's minds and make up stories. She will tell you LIES after LIES. She'll tell you that the shop ain't reaching out to her calls and demands but when I called the shop, they said they've contacted her so many times and she never responded. Be very careful and make sure you watch your back if she's handling your claim. Take note of her name, RACHEL TODD. read more

California roadside Service is a provider for AAA! Today was a very ugly, disgusting situation by a tow truck driver that works for California Roadside Service! I told the driver, don't drive the vehicle because there's no transmission fluid or engine coolant! He saw that I was disabled and did the exact opposite! He drove the vehicle out of my driveway spewing transmission fluid everywhere and when he got to the middle of the street, the car would no longer move forward or in reverse and he continued to rev it until there was a loud popping noise! He got out of the vehicle, left it in the middle of the street and moved his tow truck back to try and load the vehicle! He winched the car halfway up the bed and then released the vehicle into the street! Walked towards me and threw my keys and the ($10 tip I gave him before all of this) at me! He said " go F myself and that it's my fault" and drove away leaving a disabled person without any help, on the side of the road! Is this the type of employees AAA and California Roadside Service want to use to represent them? I've never been treated like this in the 25 years as a member at AAA! What will AAA and California Roadside Service do to resolve these multiple problems that happened to me tonight? The driver knew he was guilty of breaking my transmission in my car and spewing transmission fluid all over my driveway, then throwing my keys at an disabled person and leaving me stranded! Is this the type of service I will be getting in the future? I'd like to get a response from AAA and California Roadside Service! read more
