Roadside Assistance

Has anyone had experience with roadside assistance purchased with the annual Marchamo? Was wondering if it was actually worth buying?

I have it as a part of my INS policy and I have used it three times. Twice they carried my car to Liberia and once to Nicoya (each time from Samara). All I did was call INS and they sent a flatbead tow truck, no hassle, no charge. The truck and driver showed up within an hour of the promised time.

I am grateful that I have my roadside assistance in house.

I drive a 1980 Datsun pickup and Marcos has come to my rescue five times.

Once, while driving the neighbors 2001 Chevy SYV, the Pista Patrol came to my aid when the mechanic failed to tighten the bolts on the left front wheel and it bounded down the highway for about 100 yards into oncoming traffic. Luckily traffic was light and it missed everyone. I now have the habit of checking wheel bolts when they are repaired or changed.

Uh, I’m sorry, my response should have been limited to a one word answer that is more easy for you to comprehend and understand, so here it is – -“YES”

I think any rational person that read my response could understand that not only did I answer your question, but I gave you several reasons why, which to me is just as, if not more, important.

If I say that I have had as part of my policy and continue to do so, I have used it 3 times, all I had to do was call INS, there has been no hassle and no charge and the service was timely, isn’t that a better answer than a simple “yes”?

I don’t have a brother-in-law, but what if I just said “yes” and then failed to mention that my brother-in-law is a big shot with INS?

Which answer is more meaningful and informative?

Geez!

The answers provided seem pretty simple and straightforward to me. What’s not to understand?
