Having them back you up is most comforting when your car won’t start just as you want to begin the day’s journey.
More often than not, the fault lies with worn-out batteries as what happened to me this morning.
When AAM patrolman Firdhaus said I could use credit card to pay for the maintenance-free battery that he brought along to replace the lead acid battery in my car, I was surprised.
“Never thought that you would bring along the swipe machine for credit card,” I said as I gave him the money.
He said he did not have to bring the machine as all he needed to do was contact his office to do the verification if members chose to use credit cards.
“There have been instances of vehicle breakdown in the middle of nowhere and the owners do not have enough cash, so they pay by credit card,” said Firdhaus.
But what he did took along with him was a KL road directory so he would not lose his way.
"24-hours protection, 365 days a year is our commitment," says AAM on its website.
"AAM is proud that that we are still considered as the No. 1 Motoring Friend," said the organization which was established in 1932.
