According to the card in my wallet, I've been a member of AAA for 27 years.  Interesting, as you would think it would give you a bit of respect when you go into a place.  Not so much the case here.  Of note: I think it was my parents who actually began that streak, but it's not really that important, since the card says it, right?\n\nNonetheless, the signs advertise that you'll get a quote for service and be taken care of quickly and all the usual fluff.  Instead, it seems like they focus on driving you (figuratively, since it's in the same building) to their tour department to upsell you on something.  Anything, really.\n\nYou also have the choice of hanging out in a - relatively nice - waiting room as you wait.  And wait.  And wait some more.  You see, I took a tire to get repaired where it was punctured by a screw - a fairly quick process if you have the right equipment.\n\nGo somewhere like Geralds (in Charleston) and it will be done in about ten minutes for a few bucks, and everything (meaning the spare) is put back where it's supposed to go.\n\nHere it will cost you $25, take close to an hour and you then have to ask them to put everything back and also instruct them on how to do so.  Lame.
