You can also take advantage of discounts and savings from national partners like Ford, NAPA, AW Direct, Cintas and Santander Bank, just to name a few.
Our multi-faceted digital dispatch system provides several options for receiving AAA calls. They can be received at your office computer, directly on mobile devices or delivered to the closest truck to the breakdown location with our Auto Vehicle Locator (AVL) technology. This same system provides you with the ability to manage and clear those calls real time. You can also view your weekly pay statement online while enjoying the ease of payment via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), which are deposited each week for calls that were run the week prior.
