All of these "road services" are OK. They all do about the same thing.

I have had AAA + (PLUS) for decades now. With the PLUS they will tow the car to anywhere up to 100 miles. So if you got a breakdown late at night in the middle of nowhere they can tow you home. Yes, you would later have to deal with the car but at least you are home.

I have a repair facility within 5 miles of my home. I get my oil changes there. They know me or know of me. If car breaks down at night or on weekend I have AAA tow car to repair shop and I ask truck driver to take me home - and I provide a monetary "tip". Most will do this. So the car is at shop and I am home.

A lot depends on how old car is and how many miles on odometer.
