I was assigned an AAA shop. I can't really do the "keys locked inside the car" one because my car is so smart that it won't lock the door if the key fob (actually just an actuator since there is no ley) is inside the car. If I touch the panel on the handle to lock the car, it won't lock with the actuator inside the car. Has anyone thought of a way around this? The dead battery scenario is very quick since of course my battery isn't dead and as soon as they attach their jumper cable, it starts.

My husband and I both have Nissans and key fobs. I lock his in my car and tell them I locked my keys in ???? you could also remove the battery from the key fob which will probably allow you to lock the key fob in the car.

Those are both good suggestions. I actually had to change the battery in the fob about 6 weeks ago (2 months shy of 3 years). The battery was something of a nuisance to get at (I have a Ford). Out of curiosity, how do they open your door for you? Do they still use something that does down inside the door? I would be afraid of them breaking something. Maybe better to stick with the "dead" battery?@foodluvr wrote:

Are you allowed to do a tow? Just say you’re not comfortable driving it because the brake did something funny and you want a tow to x place (if I’m right that there’s not a separate limit of rows).

They are shopping car "repair" services that open doors and start cars. I don't know who is paying for it. I don't think it is AAA. It might well be some company such as JD Powers or even Consumer Reports which then rates these services. There are more of them than I would have ever imagined. Some are "clubs" like AAA, some are part of new car warranties, and some are "on-demand" (you have a problem, you Google a solution, and you buy a one-time service call).@Isaiah4031a wrote:
