It's that time of the year again when I need to start bringing my cars in for their inspection. The…read moreAAA Car Care Center in Ballantyne got it done. I did not have an appointment and that was not a problem on this particular morning. They were able to get my car started and the service manager said that he'd give me a call when it was ready. I headed over for breakfast. An hour later, my car was nearly ready. Inspection done, oil change done, but they wanted to know if it was okay to charge an additional $30 to repair a nail in one of my tires. Yes, please. A half hour later, I was ready to roll. Car inspected, oil changed, tires all with air. Easy, pleasy. Thank you, AAA!

Passport: I had to get a photo for my Canadian passport. The fellow at the passport desk had me…read morestand and click for a photo. I saw him on the machine doing something. He then showed it to me, it was wrong. Canada has its passport information posted on their site and clearly shows the size/dimension and what needs to be in and on the back of the picture. I told the guy and he adamantly disagreed. He said our machine is set to Can. PP standards. With that I sent in my renewal fee with that picture. A few weeks later I got a call saying the picture is wrong. I must send another with the required information on the back. I went back to the Ballantyne location and thankfully a gal was there. She took it and it came out perfect, it was the size it should be. No adjustments. She stamped the back with the location info, her name, etc. My advice... go elsewhere if you see that small fellow in front of the computer at the PP desk. Membership renewal: Another day I went in to renew my AAA membership. I've been a member for 48 yrs. I had to change my address due to a move. Received my new card in the mail with the correct acct number. A few weeks later I received mail with another card to my current address. It had my previous married last name with a different acct number? I've been divorced for 17 yrs. I took the card into the Ballantyne office and asked... why this? The fellow looked around on the computer and couldn't figure it out. I asked him to cancel that membership, said he did. Someone had to go back in the AAA history to find that info., then take the time to create a new card and have it sent out.

I feel so sorry for you if you need to have your car towed in Charlotte in the winter and call…read moreAAA.You can plan on a several hour wait while they play games and tell you they are calling a towing company. The first tow truck driver (a AAA company) may be "confused" and not be able to find you in downtown Charlotte. You will call back after an hour and the next driver (same incompetent company) call will "not have the proper equipment." After you stand on the side of the road for 2 hours, they will finally call someone who will come and help you. Then you will get nothing but excuses and BS. Imagine if this was your grandmother or teenage daughter standing on the side of the road late at night in the winter while AAA exhibits their complete incompetence. Later, try getting someone to explain what happened or even to apologize. Not going to happen - don't even try! So the moral of the story is this: skip the AAA dues and just call for a tow truck when you need one and pay out of pocket. You will spend much less time and money and skip the frustration.

Terrible experience.... stay away! Complete lack of communication and understanding of country…read morerequirements. Booked $8k vacation through this company. Had to reach out myself to ask for invoicing detail. Had to reach out myself to ask about what we need to do for transfers. No communication leading up to departure. I just happened to look up Dominican Republic, which is our destination, day before flight and learned that you have to submit an application for an e-ticket to get into the country. Must be done in advance and country approval for travelers. Called the travel agent and she was clueless. Had I not happen to come across this, we would have been in trouble. Travel agent also got us zero perks with hotel. What's the point? Travel agent did absolutely nothing for us.

Travel agent Melissa helped us plan a wonderful trip to Disney this past winter. She has been…read morehelping my mom for years, and I didn't even realize that all of her services are free! This is clearly a labor of love - her social media accounts went from bringing her own kids to Disney over the years to helping others do the same. Bringing kids to any theme park has its own challenges, and she has brought her kids there since they were little to being teenagers. Her itinerary she created for us was amazing - targeted towards the exact ages of my kids to the park we went to, from the rides, to where to rest, to where to eat, plus other tips for the hotel we stayed at. Thanks, Melissa!

Our first trip was to the Amalfi coast, never could I imagine a more wonderful experience. Every minute from arriving in Rome, to arriving in Positano for 8 nights, and returning to Rome was amazing. Our journey director was outstanding. Our fellow travelers were fabulous, a group of 12. We would explore the coast from this beautiful spot in Positano, each day setting out for adventure in a lovely Mercedes van. We were mostly in places where we saw few Americans, we ate at wonderful restaurants, and had an absolute blast. We had a wonderful blend of active and down time, we learned and saw so much, and laughed every day ! Amazing! The next trip was Florence, Cinque Terra, and Tuscany, amazing as well. The hotels and villa we stayed in were top notch, our journey director amazing, another perfect trip. This was a more active trip, but we enjoyed every second, we felt like we saw a very real side of Italy, not just tourist spots. The Time we spent on each spot was magical. The charming town of Lucca and the Villa in Tuscany were top of our list. We are not organized tour people, but the small group, perfectly curated Nada's trips are beyond. We could not recommend them more highly.
