Useless waste of money
I have no idea why I paid extra for this service.
My wife, toddler, dog and I were travelling about two months ago up to New Hampshire when we got a flat tire on our travel trailer. I did not have a spare with me, of course, as this is our first travel trailer and honestly, it hadn't even occurred to me. The tire was shredded and smoking, so no fix-a-flat either.
I immediately called my handy dandy Good Sam Roadside Assistance number, thinking "boy it's sure a good thing that I bought this, I sure am smart!"
The representative, while pleasant enough, had me on the line for nearly 20 minutes before telling me she found someone who would be there in 2-3 HOURS and they were going to charge my card over $360, even though the "final charge" would be much less. That's just for the tire. She said she didn't know what I would be charged for labor.
So with a screaming toddler and a disapproving wife glaring daggers into my backside because obviously a shredded tire is somehow my fault, I said no thank you but thank you for wasting my time and money. My wife, with nothing more than her smart phone, had a tire repair truck at our location in exactly 24 minutes, total cost to me $138, including installing the brand new tire right there on the side of the highway, on my own rim.
It's taken me this long to calm down enough to write this. Don't waste your money. Get a smart phone, do it yourself. They honestly don't do ANYTHING you can do yourself, for less money and less time.
