    I feel as if I was violated and physically abused by AAA. I asked AAA to replace my dead battery TWICE and they just wouldn't! First tech said the battery was fine. Second tech cancelled. Tow truck arrived almost 4hours later. I wasted 5hrs of my life. I missed the concert!! The kicker is that all of this could have been avoided if the first tech just replaces the f-ing battery. This morning I got it replaced and my car works fine. ------------------ To AAA: Where is your Humanity, pride and Ethics in your business practices? Your incompetence and lack of accountability ruin people's day and whilst you have ZERO care!! Shame on You!! ------------------- Sunday 7/20/25 -5:50pm I called and requested battery service -6:36pm Technician Stephen arrives and upon checking, tells me that my battery is fine and the problem is the alternator and he could not help -7:00-7:15 I call around and two mobile mechanics tell me that they're sure it's the battery, because when it's dead it makes alternator numbers go up/down. -7:19pm I call AAA to ask them to send ANOTHER tech with a battery again. I tell them that i spoke w/two dif. Mechanics and both of them said it was the battery. My request was put in. -7:55 I didnt get a status update, so called again. They said eta was 8:26pm. - 8:28pm they cancelled my request saying even if they replaces the battery, the Jeep dealer would have to program the battery ????!!!!! They said they could only send a tow truck -8:30pm. I get a text that a tow truck will arrive by 12:01 I have been dealing with this for 3hours. I called and begged to send the tow truck sooner. -11:01pm tow truck arrives. -12:10am I am finally home.

    Ali was straightforward and genuine with the repairs that were needed. Couldn't be in better hands to conclude the service. A+

    Yesterday during rush hour traffic, I got a flat tire on the 22. A nail went straight through the bottom of my tire and out the sidewall. I called AAA (well worth the cost) and they sent Jose from California Roadside Service. It was a completely unnerving and scary experience that left me in tears, to be honest. Yes, I've learned how to put on a spare. But when you're on a narrow shoulder and cars are flying by and there's no exit near bc you're right in the middle of where two freeways are merging, it is a different story. Luckily there was a small clearing about a hundred yards up where I could get further off the freeway. Regardless, it would have taken me hours to do it. Jose arrived and immediately added levity to the stressful situation with his humor. He worked quickly and efficiently. When he was done, he offered advice to me on how to merge back on the freeway safely with an added warning of how often accidents happen in this location. He clearly explained how to properly drive with my spare so it doesn't overheat and pop. I can't tell you how much I appreciated the kindness, compassion, and humor from Jose while he fixed up my car. That was a terrifying experience and he helped me feel calm and cared for... and laughing! Highly, highly recommend this company! Thank you, Jose!!

    Today I needs to get my Boxster Porsche towed to my mechanic. I was lucky enough to get an awesome service guy from AAA to help me . . Jose Cruz came to my rescue. He was very prompt at Groton my home where my Porsche was. Jose had great knowledge in his filed . I watched how he took great care in handling my car . Jose is very professional, knowledgeable & has a great personality. You can tell he loves his job & he cares about his customers! Thank you Jose for being awesome! Jay Gonzalez

    Very helpful AAA guy Best one I've ever had.

    The service I requested was great I had a good customer service representative who helped me all the way to the end stayed with me extra time at least for an hour helping me get all of my answers my questions. It was worse the money. The service I requested was a tow.

    California Roadside Service saved my day! I had been having issues with my car and was unable to fully fix the issue, but still needed to get from A to B. Well, yesterday morning, I couldn't even make it 10 miles before I needed to pull over and shut my car off. I scheduled my tow through AAA app and my tow arrived so quickly! He beat the ETA by an hour which made my day as I was stuck in a random neighborhood. My driver handled getting my vehicle in a good position and hooking it up to the truck very quickly then got my car and I home. Due to the quick rescue, I was able to get the parts needed to fix my car same day and I'm back on the road today! Amazing customer service and quick rescue! For AAA it's an additional $12/ mile after your allotted mileage which I felt was very fair for the additional 3 miles I needed to get home. Hopefully I don't need to schedule another tow but I'm very grateful for my driver and the swift rescue!

    My car broke down on the freeway at 2AM and Jose came to help. He was very friendly and extremely helpful in a stressful situation. Really amazing!

    Had to make a call to AAA and they sent these guys. The process was simple and smooth the whole way through. We received a call to verify the location first. Our driver was Jay. Very nice guy. I explained what i thought was wrong and he got to work. Looks like the battery had run down some how. Quick jump and we were on are way. Thank you again Jay. We appreciate your help.

    Amazing, fast and friendly service!!!

    This company hit my car on the highway. Offered to fix my car and then ghosted me when I asked for insurance. Horrible and do not recommend

He sent me detailed information about the issue, explained what I might need to replace, and genuinely tried to help me avoid spending more money than necessary. What stood out to me the most was that he didn't have to do any of this. He wasn't making money from helping me, yet he still took time out of his day to make sure I had the information I needed. He was kind, honest, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me. If I ever run into any towing issues in the future, he will definitely be the person I call, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs help with their car. This experience also reminded me that there are still genuinely good people out there. He inspired me to always stay true to myself and continue helping others whenever I can, because the kindness you put into the world really does come back around. I'm extremely grateful for his help and wish him nothing but success!

He was still happy even after all the traffic he had to go through to get to my new place. He also dropped it of right where i needed it. I would highly recommend this business. They have great prices, quality people and fast. UPDATE I used them a month ago and I had to move my other classic to my new location this Sunday a month later. And the new driver Oscar was just as good as the previous driver Robert. He went out of his way to help in anyway that he could to make sure the job was done right and he was very fast efficient and safe with the vehicle. Would highly recommend this business to anyone once again they have great prices, great personnel, and just great service all around.

We contacted 8 different…read moretowing companies, and Alberto's quoted $195 for a 6.5 mile tow in Fountain Valley with a 45 minute to 1 hour estimate. We went with them. Right away we told them the car was a BMW M4, completely dead, could not go into neutral. They confirmed the $195 quote. At the 1 hour mark (2:30 am), we hadn't heard anything, so we called. They said the driver was finishing another job and would call us shortly. At 3:00 am, we called again, frustrated because we could've paid $50 more elsewhere and been home already. They said he'd be on his way soon. We finally got a text saying the driver was en route from Santa Ana, 15 minutes away. He arrived around 3:45 am, over 2 hours after our original call. The driver loaded the car onto the flatbed with no issues. Then came the surprise, he told us the price was now $325 a $130 increase because he had to use "extra pieces" since the car couldn't go into neutral. Hector (tow truck driver) was a nice guy and knew what he was doing, just disappointed in the bait and switch. :/ We had explained the car's condition in detail when we first called and were quoted $195. Nothing changed between then and the tow. The price hike only came up after the car was already on the truck. Unprofessional from start to finish. Late by 1.5+ hours beyond the estimate, terrible communication (we had to chase them), and a shady price increase while the car was being loaded. There were other companies that quoted $230-250 with much shorter wait times. I should've gone with one of them.
