I'd expect if I had a problem a reasonable period later they would help. If you are towing a trailer AAA still does not offer coverage for that but the one time it was an issue I negotiated a break with the towing company. Now I have Gold towing coverage through SeaTow.
Good luck!

where are you located?
I have multiple times have my car or a friends car towed from a house to a shop or vice/versa without a problem. Maybe in yoru area the towing companies they work with really try to enforce the rules where I have been told by the companies they use in my area that a tow is a tow no matter what. In fact I had a small Home depot trailer ont he back of teh truck on time and the truck broke down, I told AAA I had the trailer they sent out a flat bed the truck went up on the bed and the trailer was put on the ball hitch at the back of the flat bed and that was it. It must be just preference or rule enforcement, I have never read the AAA manual about this subject to be hoenst I have been a member for over 11 years and cannot remeber ever looking at it, but I have never had any problem at all.
