Auto breakdowns can happen whether we keep our cars well maintained or perhaps we have procrastinated about performing the necessary services. That's why roadside-assistance services are an important investment. When a driver suffers from a breakdown, he wants to know that he can easily contact someone to tow their vehicle or even better--make necessary repairs on the spot to get the car moving again.

Available Auto-Breakdown Services

Auto clubs provide a huge array of auto-breakdown services to both private citizens and Recreational entities, and RV Emergency Road Service is even better. Roadside assistance usually includes:

  • Free towing of member cars to a nearby service station
  • Emergency fluid delivery
  • Tire changing and minor-repair service
  • Discounts on car rentals
  • Locksmithing (when you lock your keys in the car)

Other services, such as trip-interruption reimbursement and theft reward, are also available, although such services usually require a membership upgrade. Memberships for such auto-breakdown services are commonly assessed once per year. However, the cost in the long run far outweighs what one usually has to pay for a single tow.

Drivers should also consider an auto-breakdown service provider that protects all of their owned vehicles, including RVs and Recreational vehicles. There are some auto clubs that do not provide roadside assistance for RVs, 5th wheels, travel trailers or campers. Good Sam RV Emergency Road Service provides roadside assistance through Affinity Road & Travel Club, Inc. for all vehicles owned by members and offers protection in Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands as well as in the United States and Mexico.
