Would have been happy with this in the middle of the Mohave Desert but not happy in The Villages. Made other arrangements for a jump start.
Not a good value for me. I know I am grumpy, but picture yourself getting a 3 hour service call when you are stuck.

Not a good situation for you, but I had exemplary service last spring. I set out from the dog park on Moyer Loop at sunset to discover that I had a totally flat tire, so I called AAA and waited with the dog as it grew darker. In the less than 30 minutes I waited, 3 Villagers stopped to see if we were ok! When AAA got there, the guy topped off the air in and put on the little donut tire. He showed me that I had picked up a huge bolt from one of the construction trucks along Moyer Loop, and the tire was beyond patching. I was home within 45 minutes of discovering the flat. This was the fourth time I had used AAA in all the years I've had it. Each time, I've been very grateful for my membership. Only once, in MD, did I have to wait over an hour for service.
