I was helping an idiot friend move something recently and he rented and was driving the rental truck. He failed to pay attention to the gas gauge and the Isuzu truck gave zero beeps or idiot light when low on fuel. It just quit on I-10. Rental company and AAA said 2+ hours. I googled someone near the next exit behind us and had gas in 15 minutes.

I have had the opposite service from AAA over the last 40 years and I used extended tow service for years.
I won't let you trash AAA without a challenge. They are not perfect but they have bailed me out well so many times that I cannot let a AAA trashing stand un-challenged.
I could fill this thread with examples of my positive experience.
