We were figuring how to get an Isuzu Trooper from I 78 PA to Roanoke Va; after the 100 mile tow, we woukd have been paying what AAA pays for the tow, way less than the charge to non members...
I get a flatbed everytime, and they do n I t blink when I tell em my repair facility is at the far end of my driveway.
I do the math every few years, 4 member family cost vs tows used vs tow cost based on local providers, still ahead of game.

There may be a lot of ways to get these deals, but with AAA, they make the towing and other club benefits free.

I’ve never had a problem with long tows in the NY metro area (that includes an epic recovery from State College,PA), and most of the time I just have it towed to my own driveway.The amount of free mileage depends on the member level you choose. And if you request a flatbed, you get a flatbed. So my experience has been uniformly excellent, but you may live in an alternative universe.

What Universe do you live in that doesn't use 100 percent flatbeds?! LOL!
"Depends on your level".....DUH! Just keep talking.
