I have CAA, the Canadian equivalent of AAA. Have had it for thirty years. Got a companion card for 'she who must be obeyed'. She does not have to call me when she gets a flat., which could be hard to do as I travelled internationally before retirement.

We were early into a new neighbourhood with lots of construction. She suffered many flats in our modern pickup over the last several years.

I needed it last year when my 1928 Tudor ate its timing gear while on a club run. The dispatcher suggested a flat deck without being prompted. The driver helped push the car uphill into my garage. He was happy to touch the car. Told us the on-duty drivers flipped a coin to decide who took the call. He won.

By the way, he knew exactly where to place the strap to haul the car onto the deck, and how to tie it down without damage.
