Not impressed with their service, over-priced and they take advantage of the situation. They are apparently approved by the State Patrol??? I will let AAA know how unhappy I am with them...

Called for help tire was stuck on car, had it jacked up and lug nuts off just couldn't remove it And they said it was
"too dangerous to change a tire". Just say you don't offer that service, saying that makes you sound stupid. Called another place and they helped me out with no problems.
