Annoyed,
This is hardly an annoying call. I also have GEICO and have just removed the road side assistance from my policy. A couple years ago, I requested GEICO to tow my 1999 Jeep to my personal mechanic whose place of business was about 20 miles from where my car broke down. However, GEICO will only tow to the nearest dealership. Now why would I take a 1999 to a dealership for repairs? We all know that dealership are way more expensive than a mechanic shop. The AAA policy will tow me (and has towed me) hundreds of miles before I am required to pay. Their service and quick and the drivers are very professional. I will pay for the AAA service until I am no longer able to drive.
