I think the reg AAA service gives you a 7 mile tow for free but the upgrade gets you a 100 mile tow for free. I unfortunately have had my car towed a few times. It always breaks on a Sunday (cause that is the day I most often drive it) and so I tow it home and the Monday to the shop. Not all operators are the same. I hate telling a guy how to do his job but when I see it will cause harm to my car I will speak up. The first operator I had really knew how to baby the car up on the truck ( so I learned from watching him) and he strapped the front chassis and used a 4x4 across the frame rails to hold the strap below the fiberglass and built ramps to help clear the trucks bed as it was transitioning from the road on up. Of course I tipped him when I got home. He was on his radio telling all his compadres what he was towing, he was having a day, I was not.
