They only come out for breakdowns & will only do very basic things to get the vehicle moving.

Sadly the services have been cut in recent years by all these Motoring Clubs as I found recently when
(after even having a Gold Card for over 30 years membership)
they wanted to charge me around $200 to tow my car home about 25kms away.
(I have 3 cars fully comp with RAA & this one was a small engine bay fire which I put out only because I know what I am doing
& if most other people with less knowledge than me had been driving at the time it would have been a fully burnt out car that
RAA would have been legitimately paying an insurance claim for!)

People pay their membership & never use it year after year but it's worth reading
what you are actually covered for these days with the levels of membership.

I find that very surprising as I understand your vehicle will be towed to a repair place free.I han an incident where I broke a fan belt on a work van about 35 kms from home The towie loaded me up and off we went yo my place.As we were talking on the trip he told me he had just delivered a blown up old Holden Jackeroo to the owner in Northen Tassie.RACT had picked up the vehicle in Carnarvon WA,trucked it to Melb,shipped to Tassie then trucked to the owners home just out of Launceston.Pretty good for $130 per year and the driver is covered irregardless of the vehicle that is being driven,so I presumed all roadside services work the same way
