Yes but think how much business AAA sends their way without needing to 
advertize.

Before I was a AAA member, one tow company told me they had to give priority
to AAA calls even if they come in after you have called.  I waited a long
time for that truck, and even though I had towing insurance on my auto
policy with Farmers, I have since switched because the service is likely to 
be faster when AAA calls for the truck than when you do.
