The other thing to consider is AAA might not always work or a "bicycle" call. I don't know if it is a part of their policy or not. Let's assume it is. Lots of these people are independent contractors. They might not be aware of all of the policies. You might just wait in "100 degree" temperatures only to be turned down for help from the mechanic.
Glad it worked for the OP but I would only use AAA as a very last resort.
