How AAA Saved Her GPA

When a flat tire put Katerina K., of Natick, Massachusetts, at risk of failing a class, AAA showed up in time to get her back on course.

I am a second-year graduate student in Boston and was on my way to a weekend intensive class. If you are late or absent for any more than a preapproved 30-minute period, you risk losing credit for the class and have to take it again.

So, you can imagine my stress level when my tire blew on the Massachusetts Turnpike, on a part of the road with no breakdown lanes. AAA was there just in time, and they let my fiance (now husband) deal with the car while I got a ride to school as soon as possible.

AAA updated me the whole time on the status of the car, even though I wasn’t there to deal with it, and they were kind enough to get a ride for my husband as well, who needed a way back home.

Without AAA, I would have been in some hot water. Happy to say they helped save the day, my GPA, and everyone ended up OK!”
