AAA Mobile Battery Service

Horrible! Purchase elsewhere ppl. We Have purchased 3 for all our vehicles and 2 out of the 3 died within 1yr and AAA says you have to take to a approved station to get it tested and see if it needs replacing. When purchased (at expensive prices), I thought I was paying for convience of «free 3 yr replacement + 3 yr extended warranty, totalling 6yrs)
Total BS… highly disappointed with battery replacement service. Had been a loyal satisfied customer for 16 yrs, this totally caught me off guard!

AAA mobile battery service:
Buyers beware. As a long time member of AAA, and having used the battery service before, I had AAA come to replace my Motorhomes engine battery. Believing their truth in advertising, as well as the customer service reps response, I thought I had a 3 year free replacement warranty. Low and behold, having to get the battery replaced again in ~4 months, found out from the battery tech that RVs only have a 3 month warranty. This was news to me as well as the AAA customer service when I called them back. AAA did honor the replacement as a one time deal, but with me acknowledging that I only had a 3 month warranty. At the price I paid for the battery, and the warranty I got — better off going to Costco next time.

This is more of a rant than a review, so bear with me.
Scenario: I’m standing in front of Circle K on 9^th Street and Van Buren, which is not making me happy to begin with and my new car won’t start. MINI roadside service says all they can do is tow me home, which isn’t gonna help, so I call AAA. They told me an hour to get someone out there. Ok, my cars alarm is going off, the door locks and key fob wont operate, and I’m basically pissing everyone at Circle K off. Some nice hispanic guy helps me to try to jump it, and it wouldn’t work. 6 bums, 1 sunburn, and 3 grape powerades later I decide to push it home which is only 4 blocks.
After pushing the car home, on my own, and parking it outside of my building, I go inside and call AAA. It is now 4:50 and they tell me someone will be here between now and 7:20… ok 7:20 is a long way away, and my car alarm is still going off, then stops, then goes off again… intermittently I’m sure making my neighbors pissy. My home AC is on the fritz so I’m basically in a home 83 degrees with a fan blowing on me, a storm approaching, and no more grape powerade. I’m PISSED at this point.
6:30 rolls around and I decide to start drinking vodka to pass the time…
7PM I’m drunk…
7:30 I’m drunk outside by my car cursing the fact that nobody has come yet.
7:45 go back for another drink inside… Finally get a phone call from the driver saying he is parked next to a cute blue MINI.
8:15 I’m paying $ 145 for a new battery to some dude who keeps talking about himself.
8:30 Car is parked safely at home but I am 1. Drunk 2. Pissed that I had to wait so long 3. Pissed that it cost so much 4. Pissed that the guy wouldn’t shut up about himself. 5. pissed that my AC isn’t working. 6. PISSED that he called my car «cute»
To sum it up, I hate dead batteries, and the company that fixes them. If I hadn’t at least pushed a 2100 lb car down the street, I’d have been waiting in front of Circle K for 3 hours. FUCK THAT.
