dear almost never in need of a tow job

in my mind there is only one service to get ... if you are american that would be triple a which will imedialty transfer to canandain auto association if in canada ... same thing for canadians traveling in usa .. get the premium platnium rv pkg which allows four tows per year two hundred mile s each ... if you require more than 4 tows per year get your self a bicycle ...and take a mechanics course .. other auto road side assistance are very limited in area and situations ... etc .. the only requirment that triple a puts on is that you be beside the vehicle you are towing and you have your card with you ... no one that i am aware of covers off road situations though you may find a local old tow guy who will at his discretion ... go triple a or canadian auto association or stay home ... :) yours
