Real Members, Real Stories

"AA came to the rescue up the skifield."

"On a weekend ski-trip with my teenage son and his friend. We were driving up Cadrona Skifield, and were almost at the top, when the radiator suddenly exploded with a HUGE bang spraying dirty brown water all over the windscreen. We limped another 50m up the road and pulled over into a bay off the side of the road. Luckily, my friends son was an AA member. We called the AA who came within the hour with a flat bed tow truck and took my car to the nearest garage in Wanaka. That's when I learned that an AA membership was attached to the person rather than the car. We still got to spend the day skiing, while the garage was working on replacing the radiator and we got the bus back down the mountain to Wanaka at the end of the day. The car was fixed the next day and we returned to Dunedin."

"Totally relieved when AA took over."

"My friend and I had just arrived back from Sydney and on the drive back to Tauranga late afternoon the car started playing up before the engine finally quit. We didn't know what the problem was and it was getting late and we were really tired. I rang the AA and within one minute of talking to a lovely lady (sorry couldn't remember name) I felt so relieved. She asked me to hang up and wait for her to call back which she did really quickly. Everything was sorted. Tow truck coming from Paeroa, car hoisted on the back, us in the cab with the friendly driver and off to Tauranga. Couldn't have been more helpful."
