Good Sam road side assistance

My truck broke down today. Called the good sam number on my card and within 20 minutes my truck was loaded and ready to go. Not to the nearest garage, but home. That cost "no more tows today"

The whole experience was less complicated than ordering a coffee at MacDonalds. Thank you Good Sam's.

    True, GS, Coachnet, AAA, etc, don't tow vehicles, third parties do and the wait time and experience can be hit and miss with all. Good to hear you had a good experience this time. I believe also you can pay for your level of desired service, ie, tow to nearest garage, unlimited, etc.

  • Thanks for posting this. My AAA expires at the end of the month and I'm probably going to try GSRA for exactly the reason you posted. I can get towed where ever I want, and if I'm close to home, that's where I want to be towed. Coachnet won't do that.

    I don't know. Sometimes I think brain surgery is less complicated than ordering coffee at Micky D's. Especially at the drive thru.

    Glad to hear you had good results with GSRA. We usually only see complaints.

    Thanks for the post. After purchasing the trailer (3 years ago in August), I shopped around, asked a lot of questions as to access to wrecker services that could properly handle the trailer. Good Sam's prices were very competitive, dealing with trailer and motorhomes was a big selling point, covered all my vehicles ... knock on wood ... so far haven't needed them, but good to know I have them as backup.
  • Thanks for this post. I full time and my 5 year road service coverage that was included with my new 5'er expires the first of next month so I have a decision to make. I have never had to use the service I have, but it nice to know I have it.
