Roadside Assistance vs. AAA: The Difference
AAA and most insurance roadside programs work by contracting out the actual work to local companies. So when you call AAA in Tampa at midnight, they hand the ticket to a local provider — and you wait. And wait.
AK Towing IS the local provider. Call us direct, skip the middleman, get a truck rolling in minutes.
