If someone buys a brand new vehicle every 2 or 3 years, and drives under the national average of 15,000 miles a year, rarely will you need a tow

Your still paying for the tow, in the cost of the new vehicle

Chances are, you also have "free" roadside assistance as a part of the
deal. I think i have five years.

I used it for the first time last night by calling the 800 number on the
window decal. Had a flat tire in the dark and drizzle. The voice on the
other end asked me a couple of questions and I gave her some of the
numbers on the VIN. She also used my cell phone to pinpoint my location.

Took about 45 minutes for help to arrive. He quickly change the tire and
got me on my way. No cost, but I did tip him. If it was a sunny April
day I may have changed it myself, but on rainy December night, I'd
rather wait for help.
