Had a flat tire yesterday in the middle of nowhere (typical ND luck, right?), and finally got to test out this roadside assistance I signed up for last month. They showed up quick, guy was super friendly, and I was back on the road in no time. Anyone else had good luck with these services around here?
Glad to hear it worked out smoothly for you. I signed up for one of those roadside services last winter after my battery died in a grocery store parking lot at like 10 pm—talk about timing. They showed up within half an hour, jumped the car, and even gave me some tips on keeping the battery healthy in ND winters. Definitely worth the small monthly fee for peace of mind, especially if you're driving an older car like mine...
I've been debating signing up for one of these services myself, but I'm still on the fence. Had a flat tire last month on a back road near Fargo, and luckily a friend was nearby to help out. But it got me thinking—would roadside assistance have gotten there quicker? And is the monthly fee really worth it if you only use it once or twice a year? Curious how often people actually end up needing it...
"And is the monthly fee really worth it if you only use it once or twice a year?"
Honestly, I used to wonder the same thing. But after getting stuck once in the middle of nowhere with my car (which isn't exactly cheap to tow), I decided to give roadside assistance a shot. Here's how I see it: even if you only need it once a year, that one time usually covers the cost of your annual fees. Plus, peace of mind counts for something...especially if you're driving alone or late at night.
