    Either will give you good or bad service depending on the circumstance and you will have people who swear by or swear at each service.
    Either way READ the brochure/contract and understand what you are entitled to.
    Seems to me most dissatisfied people are dissatisfied because they do not know what they bought.
    Also be aware that both GSRA and Coachnet look for the lowest cost option for service that they can find in the area. This means that although you may be able to see a service provider 100 yards away the service provider they use may be an hour away. If you are the type who cannot sit back and wait for service to come you may be better off paying out of pocket for service. That way you are in control of your situation.

    I have had nothing but good service from GOOD SAM ROADSIDE but remember the people they and coachnet dispatch are independent business so results can vary


    Yup
    Service will only be as good or bad as the local contracted provider. It my be excellent, or you may be asked to wait for hours on end, even till the next day for a truck to reach you on a major highway. (Coachnet did it to me...plenty of people say the same about Good Sam)
    But for about $100 a year, you get a single "first" number to call. If help comes, great, you win. If not, you search for a mobile truck service, pay for it yourself, and write a negative review.
    So like the guy said, pick one. I now have Good Sam.
