    About to signup with AAA. Seems like to they tow exotics all the time

    Willing to pay more. Wondering if there is a network of exotic car tow companies thst offer a membership? Or even non membership. Just want a vetted team of operators that may be readily available at all hours.

    Don't think this exists and AAA might just be fine. Thought I would check first.

    Ferrari Roadside sucks. It's run by Allstste. Left me waiting 4 hours in a bad neighborhood. I figure State Farm would be the same.

    AAA works okay but there are some moderns constraints when needing a tow. It appears to me that the tow services they use are in a network that is pretty fully utilized, efficient from a trucker point of view and not so great from the broken-down-car customer point of view. A delay of a few hours is what I hear (with only a small anecdotal data set).

    Before I call AAA, I call two places in Orange County (both of which I pay directly plus tip to the driver):
    G&W Towing in Costa Mesa has been reliable and clear on expected time to arrival. I've used them since 1980 here and there, not had a need in the last 5 years.
    Aaron's Towing with driver Karie is what I use for collector car scheduled hauls. She knows what she is doing and has hauled for me in Orange and LA counties. Karie also has hauled for me on spontaneous need.

    I found AAA to be reliable and quick here in LA. I am actually having a car picked up down at our second residence next week to be delivered to my builder at zero cost - taking advantage of the free tows !

    AAA used to be pretty good as far as efficient towing or roadside assistance, but it seems that their response times have been getting worse the more time goes on. Not as good as it used to be.
