wouldnt want to call them out to such a trifling thing anyway.....only ever used them twice, once I locked the keys in my car and another I left the fridge switched on in the caravan at Victor Harbor and flattened the battery.

RAA Roadside service wouldn't come out just for a sat nav not working.
They only come out for breakdowns & will only do very basic things to get the vehicle moving.
Sadly the services have been cut in recent years by all these Motoring Clubs as I found recently when
(after even having a Gold Card for over 30 years membership)
they wanted to charge me around $200 to tow my car home about 25kms away.
(I have 3 cars fully comp with RAA & this one was a small engine bay fire which I put out only because I know what I am doing
& if most other people with less knowledge than me had been driving at the time it would have been a fully burnt out car that
RAA would have been legitimately paying an insurance claim for!)
People pay their membership & never use it year after year but it's worth reading
what you are actually covered for these days with the levels of membership.
