Saved with two minutes to spare
Daniel F. Saved in the Waikato
Daniel had driven from Auckland to Hamilton for a job interview, arriving early to give himself plenty of time.
But just 30 minutes before his interview, he went to start his car...
Nothing.
He tried again. Still nothing.
Daniel requested an AA callout through the app, and within 10 minutes, help had arrived. Five minutes later, his car was back on the road and Daniel made it to his interview with just two minutes to spare.
“I only got to the job interview because the AA saved my bacon.”
Daniel had never needed to use his AA Membership before and had even been wondering whether to keep it.
After this experience, he says he’ll never be without it.
Read Daniel's full story
"After I graduated university, I was living in Auckland but had a job interview in Hamilton. I left quite early to make sure I could get there on time, so I arrived in Hamilton about 90 minutes before I needed to.
I went and grabbed some lunch, then parked down by the lake to chill out (as much as I could) before the interview. 30 minutes before the interview, I decided I would go park in the car park of the place I was interviewing. I turned the key and... nothing.
I tried again and... still nothing.
I jumped on the AA app and requested a call out. They managed to arrive within about ten minutes, got my car going in about five, and I arrived at the interview about two minutes before it started.
I had never had to use my AA Membership before that and had been considering whether to keep paying for it - this has made sure I'd never be without it."
