Title: Good sams roadside service .... can I send them my tow reciept?
Post by: Mark of Houston on July 23, 2015, 10:53:11 pm


Hey Ya'll

Many of you are familiar with this company..  they did tow my grand villa back in May... and it was a fiasco.. took them forever to get a wrecker out to me..

I have the premium plus, tow anywhere policy for up to 100 miles...  I am supposed to be covered
with my personal vehicle also... thought I remembered one of you saying you just called your own wrecker and sent them the bill..  I called a wrecker my self..  about a 20 mile tow to my house, cost me 150.00  I was home in 45 minutes !!!!

based on my experience, it would have been hours perhaps with sams and I wasn't feeling real good that day.

Do I just mail them the original receipt from the wrecker service or send them a copy of it?  I'm  not too sure they will reimburse...  since I called a wrecker on my own..  anybody got any input on this?

And where do I send it to? all I see are phone numbers to call

Thanks

Mark

Mark, I am the one who sent them a $1100 tow bill 2 months after the fact and GS did not call for it, so yes it did work for me. On their website there is the Roadside Assistance section and a form that you can download to fill in for cases like this. I did that then scanned it and sent it in. It takes about 2-3 weeks before they get back to you but as your bill is so small I am sure they will have no trouble. You do need to say why and what happened and a copy of the tow bill. I would suggest that you do not mention that it was in a storage bay but parked and you wanted to get it home to fix whatever problem was causing it to not run. They do not want a long story just a quick explanation.
Good luck

Mark,

The only issue I see is that your claim so closely follows buying the policy.  If it were me, I'd just eat the $150.  Good luck.

If you have insurance then use it.  Call customer service and ask for them to send you a claim form.  Fill it out and give them the explanation as to the event.  I did and I got paid for my tow when they refused to tow my FT after I refused their tech who was 3 hours to get there.  If your policy is in force then I would make a claim.  Thats why you pay for insurance.

Sorry Mark, I thought you were referencing the GV.
The form is on their web as I said and you have nothing to loose by trying.
