Well, I guess sometimes you get what you pay for sometimes you don't. I was an Executive, wore a suit for 21 yrs., but I still took care of minor inconviences myself. Hooking a can of "fix a flat" up to a valve stem and then airing the difference up using a 12 volt compressor requires very little exertion and very little knowledge. I guess I grew up in a different world than some people. Enjoy your unresponsive road service and spend your money as you wish.

FYI -- I was told that I should NOT use fix-a-flat with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). Something about gumming up the sensors. I have a little 12v compressor in my emergency kit in the trunk. However, since the tire went flat between lunch and leaving work for the day, I assumed the leak/puncture was large enough that trying to temporarily air it up long enough to get to a service center was senseless. Indeed, it turned out later that a non-trivial piece of metal had embedded itself in the tire and the success of a repair was questionable. I ended up with a new set of tires (the old ones had 45k on them anyway).

I've been a repeat customer of GSRS for 14 years straight now. I've had to use them three times now. The first was a locksmith for a accidental lockout. I rate GSRS in that case as fair because the locksmith charged me a fortune "under-the-table". The second time was a series of two blowouts on the same day. GSRS was fantastic and saved my bacon on that day. I pay for my premium service because GSRS claims that they will come help even for inconveniences like a flat tire. On bigger jobs like major blowouts on a dual real wheel motorhome, they are great. They fall down on the job on small inconveniences like lock-outs and flat tires.

Maybe I should keep GSRS for major problems and get AAA for minor inconveniences...
