Related: dont pay for AAA.

Tow companies aren't paid enough by AAA for them to prioritize you in any way. You will get lesser quality service from people who are frustrated their workplace contracts with AAA.

As much as it sucks, try to save money for vehicle emergencies and/or be able to fix minor vehicle issues yourself.

More importantly, learn your vehicles maintenance schedule and follow it religiously. If you are only maintaining it when something goes wrong, you are missing the forest for the trees.

If you are only maintaining it when something goes wrong, you are missing the forest for the trees.

On the coast we have a ferry system, a public-private partnership - aw fuck, right? - that "runs to failure" and only maintains when things are actually broken.

It's become such an unreliable mess, now. But the CEO gets a bonus.
