I have nothing but praise for the courtesy & helpfulness of your operators....and your service providers. The only issue I have occurred when we needed help. Our alternator failed, leaving us stranded on the side of the road...The Good Sam road service operators insisted on having us towed to an RV repair shop which was 8 miles closer than the Cummins repair shop we wanted to go to.....the result was 3 1/2 days to get a simple alternator replacement, with (it turned out) no adequate diagnostics, resulting in a second failure...... the Cummins shop would have been adequately equipped to diagnose & repair, probably in 1 day... Without us losing vacation time, incurring hotel & food expenses and tremenduous aggravation...

Didn't they offer to let you pay for the extra eight miles?

I just received a renewal notice for my Good Sam roadside assistance membership, however, never again. I have had the service for 17 years and NEVER had to use it until this past March. I needed a tire changed on I-75 near Gainsville, Fl. and they sent the most incompetent service you can imagine. I could (and finally did)have changed the tire myself, but because of my location and hazardous conditions, I choose to use the service. What a joke. I have already spoken to a Good Sam manager about my experience and don't know what they will do about my situation, but this one "BAD" experience has been enough for me.

Sorry, but that email address doesn't work. I sent an email to that address earlier this morning and it came back.

I had to call on the roadside assistance twice in the last two yrs. both times the towing was covered in full and the tech service call was paid for.I feel this service is invaluable to any rv travelling away from there home base. I would have to give GS a two thumbs up !!!!

The month of March has proven to be a challenging month for my vehicles.
In a short period of time, my two vehicles and a motorcycle have have broken down in the Southern California area. One vehicle caught fire, one vehicle had a fuel pump fail and the alternator belt on my BMW motorcycle snapped.

Good Sam Roadside Assistance exceeded all my expectations. Local service providers were on their game. When my BMW motorcycle needed to be hauled to the local stealership for repair, the driver allowed me to coach him on the correct technique for securing the bike eliminating the possibility of damage in transit.

I am a very happy customer, provided this feedback in the recent survey and will continue to subscribe to this service!

No matter who you go with,GS,AAA,Coachnet or any others,they would probably use the same service company. Not all employees are smart.
