Here's my story, judge for yourself

Well, I just had a very unpleasant interaction with Good Sam Roadside Assistance. I have had this service for 3 years but this i sthe first time I have had to use them.

I discovered that both of my outside duel tires in back were flat. I attempted to inflate one them but the valve stem was what was leaking and I assume that is what is wrong with the other one. I called Good Sam fully expecting that they would tow the rig in and have the tires repaired. NOPE. Because it was one tire on each side they wouldn't tow it. They wouldn't repair it, period. Their only solution was for me to buy two new tires from them! I was talking with a supervisor, too.

Wanna bet I don't continue using them for road side assistance?

Hope you folks can learn from my experience.

    Many tow companies try to get as much from individuals that they can squeeze out of you.
    OP: did you report this to GS? Did you tell GS that it was tire issue?
    I meant the GS reply same old stock 1


    If you read this forum you know I am no apologist for GSRSA or GSE in general.

    But honestly they have to start the inquiry somewhere. They have to be fair to their vendors and support the customer. They have to do something to gather the facts. They cant just simply come on here with their first post and answer the issue. They deserve a chance to investigate it.

    Having said that they do need to start answering AFTER the investigation and posting what was done about the problem without violating the OP's privacy or revealing dollar numbers.

    It really is up to the op to come back and give the details.

    I would not jump out and blame GSRA for what their contractor does or say. It could be they are not following the guide lines.
    I hope GS comes on and gives a straight answer not one of their private messages.


    Do you belive in the tooth fairy too?:S:S:S
