Truck broke down. Tow truck driver damaged truck

theres a parking meter thru the rear suspension rubbing the gas tank. She did this parallel parking..took forever to cut the meter pole.

 

If it was a contract company 3a will give you the phone number and tell you it's not they're issue.

 

it was a contract company, and AAA actually filed a report and their damage assessment team is going to contact me

 

I’d just cancel right then and there. Then post the pics of the CV damage on google and yelp for the shop with a very detailed description. Can’t be pushed around like that..

Of course this would be after all civil options had been exhausted

 

Glad to hear!

 

its my fiance's AAA but she was in the truck with me when it happened.

i cancelled my AAA couple years ago.

 

lets hope they dont pull the "its a modified vehicle" card lol

 

Good, now stay on the person assigned to the claim. Be forceful about it. Most shops will try to fix it in house, unless it's a great shop don't go for it. Push for dealer repair.

 

I have never had a shop touch my vehicle, but i would happily take it to the toyota dealer for new cv axle installation. I dont have the time to do the repair.

looks like the hook went into the axle too so a reboot is not gonna cut it

 

Too late, they towed it. Now they can eat the repairs. As I told guys I trained, don't cost more than you make..think, then act.

 

The issue now is, 3a isn't paying shit. They'll write a report and give the contract station crap. But cant force them to pay. Theres a shop in the bay area that's famous for telling 3a and member to piss off and sue him. I mean 3a pays shit for what they want from the companies they contract. You see more 2 truck outfits now.

 

Oh funny fact for you guys....3a wont insure a tow truck. Too risky...lol

 

3a doesn't care if you cancel...they're a world wide company. One membership is nothing compared to the millions they do every quarter. It's sad but true.

 

AAA premium= about $80 per year.
AAA pays for tow= $40

Most people get towed about once every 3 years.

3 years premium= $240
AAA payout= $40
AAA profit= $200

9 years premium= $720
AAA payout= $120
AAA profit= $600

 

You got it..and every year grandma's get the grandkids a 3a membership..3a laughs all the way to the bank.

 

We wont even talk about 3a's tipsy tow programs. Nothing like locking me in a truck with a drunk jackass that didn't even pay for a membership...I've had them piss themselves, puke, and crap themselves. I got to clean that up...while dispatch yelled hurry up..I don't miss it.

 

Awesome truck! But that really sucks. Tow truck driver must have been smoking crack.

 

yeah outer boots dont just rip themselves.....inner maybe but not outer....

 

Oh that really sucks!!!! I would be so pissed and I'm sure you are. I would say time is of the essence. Reported quickly!

 

I think on my 1st gen that I had for about 11 years I had to have it towed twice, due to alternator.. I'll take my chances with my current truck.

I'm not big on memberships/warranty programs. They exist because they make a huge profit as @Muddinfun has just pointed out.. That's enough to make me run in the other direction..
