Texting for Road Side Service

For comparison, here’s State Farm’s 24x7 roadside assistance program:

when I discovered my State Farm car insurance covered towing, etc., I stopped subscribing to AAA (although my dad was a lifelong member). I also felt that in being towed to an AAA service center, that I was at their judgement and pricing mercy as to what needed to be done whereas in town, I could get towed to my Honda dealership (it’s been decades since I used AAA - sorry for ignorance as to how AAA roadside service currently works). Presumably, you could have your phone browser preconfigured with autofill for the road ERS application and set it as a favorite in your browser if one were a State Farm customer - and having phone GPS turned on would automatically give a service like State Farm’s one’s location. Texting would not provide a location, AFAIK. Presumably a few seconds or a few minutes to summon help is not a big deal. If seconds count for safety, it might be a “call 911 FIRST” situation, e.g., broken down on a dark section of Interstate at night and unable to get off the road.

If the OP moves the thread to the SOCIAL category, I don’t think anyone can complain that this thread is off-topic.

Edit_Update: Amongst other things, you can summon roadside assistance through the State Farm app:

and, if you want to let State Farm monitor your driving, you can save up to 5% on your auto insurance with the following app:

I have no association with State Farm other than having been a customer for the last 30 years. Before that I was predominantly an Allstate or Geico customer.
