aaaimages.jpgToday, my friends and I were traveling along Rte 24 in Brockton, on our way home from an appointment for the Auto Ambulator at Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital. Amanda was driving and Ric and I were seated in the back of the van, listening to music on my favorite radio station.

Ric looked for a jack to put the spare donut on the van, but could not find any jack in the van. Amanda is a member of AAA;  she called for AAA’s Road Side Assistance. AAA provides road service 24-hours a day – 7 days a week to all members.

To our glee, a service truck called by AAA pulled up behind us, only minutes after we placed the call. A nice man placed a donut on our van. We had called my mom, and she arrived just in time to follow us to the service station, for we didn’t feel comfortable driving on this little donut. We left our van at the station and borrowed my mom and dad’s van until a new tire can be ordered and placed on our van.

I give AAA FIVE STARS for their quick response and sensitivity to the needs of the disabled. I highly recommend all who travel to obtain a AAA card for you may need it just like we did.
