Auto Club App

I would like to make a suggestion: Would you please consider creating a way for the app to send a push notification when a vehicle you are having towed somewhere without you arrives at that location? Kind of like the Domino’s app lets you know when your pizza is on the way. It would just be very comforting to me because whenever something happens to my truck I have to have it towed to my auto mechanic’s which is half an hour away and I’m not with the vehicle so if there could just be some way where it could be checked off on some kind of electronic equipment by the driver once the vehicle is dropped off. Or maybe, once the dispatcher finds out the driver has dropped the vehicle off, maybe you could create a way for them to make the app send me a push notification that my vehicle has arrived at it’s destination?

So my dad was driving a car that had issues and was told to test drive it at highway speeds. He did that but the car broke down and he was forced to coast the car over on the side of the highway he calls me to get a tow because he had already used all of his and the car wouldn’t turn back on so he was stranded in the cold on a Thursday night. I call them get them the info and called a few times to make sure the had a good location. The told me they’d be there around 8:55 and it was 8:20. I found my dad on the highway before them because I had to be there and waited with him. So I then look on the app to see how far they are and it said he was close. I get a call from the auto place and they told me 15 minutes and it was 8:45 at the time. Well 30 minutes later we don’t see anyone come and we call back and the guy says the call was canceled. We have never canceled a tow emergency yet it’s happened to us twice. Basically we had to call again and make another and we sat on the side of the highway in a not so safe location for 2 and a half hours till we finally got help. They also moved it to high priority!! Worst service ever

Started using this app in 2017 because my car has battery issues and I would use the app to request a jump start when needed. It was super simple, just open the app, set my location and then I could track the person coming to help. I loved that I never had to wait on hold or guess when someone was coming. Earlier this year I went out to my car and found it was dead, no problem just opened up the app... but to my horror they had “updated” the app and removed the only thing that actually makes this app worthwhile. Now it brings you to a page that just has the phone number on it. What’s the point of the app then? If you try to set your breakdown location it just says “connection unavailable” and prompts you to call. They apparently updated the app a few days ago to resolve this issue and I’ve deleted and redownloaded the app several times but it still brings me to the stupid phone number page. ADDITIONALLY they have taken down the online request on their website, it also brings you to a page that only has the phone number. This is ridiculous, why are we going back 20 years?? Please fix this, this app was seriously the best but then you removed the most useful feature.

Update - below for 2.34.1 remains accurate after downloading 2.35.1. I downloaded, logged out, logged in. It just kicks me out of the app without allowing any functionality. I have iPhone 6S iOS 12.4. (Running with a VPN that may show different non-local locations of the server.) deleting again 🙁 Nonfunctional - I love AAA Washington. And well I liked the auto club app until today. I went to renew membership in the app and it required an update to open. The description of the update states it is minor improvement for stability. I’ve proven that’s incorrect by updating and trying to use it. I was still logged in which was great. I tried several menu options. Not at all stable. The only thing that worked is looking at my card. Otherwise, the app just opens to a blank frame, looks like its thinking, then closes out - on all other menu options I tried. After five things I gave up. Could not renew membership this way. Deleting app from phone. (Keeping AAA though - discounts and roadside service still Rock!).

No matter how carefully you drive, this does not give correct readings. It says you’ve done 80mph when you haven’t, it claims you’ve hard braked when you haven’t. If you’re hoping to save big time on your bill forget it. Its a nice idea and would be great if it was accurate...but it isn’t. UPDATE - if you move your phone to scratch your leg or shift it on the seat it’s going to think you’ve ‘hard braked’. Not good. Update. It definitely mistakenly thinks you have hard braked when you haven’t. I’ve been watching its responses closely. And incidentally ‘hard braking’ are a part of driving defensively because of the hazardous driving by other vehicles, particularly in New Mexico, land of drunk drivers. Are you seriously going to penalise drivers for avoiding road accidents? This app fails. UPDATE OCTOBER 19 - the hardbraking calculation that AAA has decided on is really unfair. It does not take into account the necessary defensive responses against other drivers bad driving. Its differing speed calculations for hard braking measurement are too short to be reasonable.
