AAA is well worth it. I called Mercedes Roadside Assistance once and they never showed up. Fortunately, I also had AAA and the guy was there in 20 minutes. The sad part is that Mercedes was charging me $250 a year for the service. Needless to say, I never renewed with Mercedes.
AAA also provided me with service when I was out on my bicycle. My freehub busted on my bicycle 15 miles from home. I called AAA, gave them the necessary info and a tow truck showed up in less than 30 minutes. Threw my bike in the back and the guy took me home.
If you travel and take advantage of the AAA discounts, your membership will pay for itself on the first trip, i.e. parking at LAX, hotel discounts, shopping mall discounts, etc.
