great deal I found

Hey guys, I have been a member here for a long time, this is not spam, i just want to share something i found. AGAIN THIS IS NOT SPAM I AM A REAL SLICK OWNER WHO WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LOL.

About 2 months ago, I was doing a test drive of my 66 f100, I get about 40 miles outside of vegas, and it stalls out....call my roadside assistance and find out they only cover 25 miles of towing, well that leaves me having to pay the remaider miles at a very high rate. Needless to say i was upset. so i searched the web to find another roadside assistance. its called motor club of america, and they cover up to 100 miles of towing...that alone was good enough for me to switch.

So seeing how all of our trucks are a little on the classic side I thought everyone would be interested, they offer a lot of other benefits as well, and they go above and beyond normal roadside assistance. They also offer a referal program if you are interested in making some side cash.

thanks for reading...here is the link if you are interested.

My Hagerty coverage allows up to 250 miles flatbed towing for ANY owned vehicle, which I could have easily used several months ago I also have limited coverage through Progressive as well as American Express. My main complaint with any of them is slow response times! I have not used Hagerty's services , so I don't know how they stack up, but the pricing for all coverages was very attractive. I suspect most requests are handed off to the same groups of contract towers anyway, with the possible exception of AAA, and they have proved to be extremely slow in getting a truck to you. My best luck has been with American Express in the past. I've been able to call my choice of towing service and receive reimbursement since they were unable to get a truck to me within an hour. That's still a long wait in Texas's weather conditions.

someone had told me about hagerty, and my original was through USAA, but what made me go with MCA is that they offer so many additional benefits, they even pay the lawyers to fight moving violations lol...i have never seen a roadside assistance plan that offers so much and for less than 20 a month...one ticket from the police and i have made my dues back for the year. a second reason is the monthly fee is tax deductible.

Sounds pretty expensive to me @ $239.40 per year. I have AAA and only pay $154 per year for me, my wife and teenage daughter. And that includes the upgrade to AAA Plus which gives me 100 mile towing for all. I have Hagerty for my Slicks but my AAA covers anything I'm driving or riding in.

[ICEMAN6166]

most motor clubs are handled thru a clearing house like cross country.
cc is a real pita to deal with and get paid from so they get low priority or turned down from a lot of towing companies. this is why the wait.

AAA pays minimum and requires you give them priority over everyone else . they expect you to do high volume for low rates.

geico always gave me a PO and promptly paid their bills without question. they in turn got good service.
state farm and progressive like to nitpick over mileage but they usually paid on time.

after i moved and had to redo my insurance policy on the phone the agent told me i also got road service and lockout coverage
so i told him that i do lockouts and asked if i locked myself out of my truck or car (that you have to use the key to lock from the outside) if i could call myself to use the tool to get in then send a bill and get paid

took him a minute or 2 to grasp what i was trying to ask him

dont think he ever heard of having to use a key to lock a car/truck before

[brandon66f100]

I have used AAA, USAA, Geico, and a service offered by att....none of em came close to the service i have now.

Not trying to pass judgement here; the service may be the best thing since radial tires, but anyone interested might do well to perform a Google search on MCA.
The main sales contention seems to be "more value than AAA"; in my experience that might well ring true (that's not a high bar, IMHO), but at considerably more premium? I'd also want to know the breakdown as to what percentage of the "dues" goes where. From a qiuck "read", I'm not certain that this company would even be around if and when service might be needed.
Just my unsolicited opinion, especially since it appears from your statements that you have much more eexperience involving road service needs!
Have you actually had reason to use the services of this outfit you are touting?

I have used them, and never had a problem....I could google any roadside assistance program and find a bunch of disgruntled people, you cant satisfy everyone. and as far as the price is concerned, the dues can be written off on your taxes at the end of the year. Next time you get a moving violation, call your roadside assistance and see if they will pay for the lawyer to fight it lol.

we get AAA calling us to do tows I refuse cause they don't want to pay a reasonable rate especially 2 or 3 in the morning and want to invoice on a 30-60 plan on them

Ok, you state that two months ago you were using another provider, and you say you HAVE used MCA, so I would assume it was in the last 2 months. If you have in fact used Geico, USAA and AAA, and others in a recent period, you MIGHT want to consider putting your money into a more effective maintenance plan
I somehow missed the actual description of your roadside experience with MCA??? I also can't seem to find any info on the various websites indicating that the "dues" are tax deductible for an individual. Is your $80.00 "commision" also tax deductible?
On visiting the MCA website; (not your link) I DO see top-of-website advertising for their "referral" system, which seems somewhat unusual I also see coverage disclaimers and limitations through-out the "service" descriptions.Pretty well standard for the industry, but, No felony violations; OK, that just limited the usefulness of the "bail bond". Traffic ticket representation; naw, I'd rather avoid a ticket compared to spending repeated trips to the courthouse on the premise that an unknown attorney may be able to get me off the charge, or reduce the costs!
The lack of BBB endorsement could also be a warning flag; if the service is as great as expected, a BBB membership might prove to be a good marketing tool.
It looks to me as if this could be one of those "programs" where the "early adopters" get rich as the expense of later "members" as the marketing reaches a saturation point. If everyone becomes an "associate", then who is left to buy the expensive memberships and provide the $ 80.00 "commisions" ?, which, by the way, appear to require a full year of prior "membership" before a reduced percentage of "commisions" become payable.
Again, I'm extremely happy with the multiple alternatives I have available at a much lower cost; my total cost of full coverage automobile insurance , including liability, and a realistic 250 mile towing and roadside assistance covering ALL vehicles, is just barely more on a per vehicle basis than the MCA "Platinum" service.
If someone here is interested in your offering, more power to them! As noted, I would strongly suggest they fully investigate before commiting.
I am certainly not knocking AAA and other providers, their service may be somewhat slow IMO, but at least you get the feeling they may be around when needed. I am aware MCA has been around for a long time,; my concern would be whether they remain around as this marketing scheme plays out. Their pricing for memberships also seems more realistic. My discomfort with AAA was along the same lines as those expressed by Brian and Tom; their contracts with towing providers leave much to be desired (like profitability), unless you are trying to enhance volume at a repair facility.
FWIW,

As far as integrity, price, and value, I find it hard to beat Hagerty. Their only caveat is that the vehicle has to be garaged and you have to send them pictures to validate the value you've set on the truck or car.
When I put my truck back on the road, I will re-instate my Hagerty policy. (My regular insurance for all my other stuff is USAA that I've had since 1961). They couldn't match Hagerty for any of the services at that price.
Before the re-build I had Nadine valued at 14K and they charged me $165/ year for full coverage with a $500.00 deductible for collision and upset, and a $200,000 un-insured motorist rider.
You have to look at the details and deductibles to compare.
