The managers special for 345.00 for 10 days Cheap right , well not what she reserved . Then I call and asked if because they did the rental if my. AAA CAR INSURANCE covered the rental car She flat asked me Do you have insurance with us !! Are you f-ing kidding me . The only way to use the AAA discount is to be x member and I only just talked to her 10 min ago . The the trip guy ? I asked about gas stations and other discount while on my trip and he tells me " we have never done gas discounts " REALLY !! I open up the saving book they have inside their office , even at his desk and ask him , WHAT IS THIS THEN ?? He has a dumb look on his face and tell me to sit he will be right back ! He had no idea about it ! Look if you don't know your job then don't tell someone something you do not know Just say I am not sure !! read more

AAA - Travel Services Near Me - Whittier, California

This office is great. I'm usually in and out in no time. But this review is based on the company itself. During the summer of 2020 my family and I went to Santa Monica and my car stalled. My husband contacted AAA and explained the situation. The guy they sent says it's the battery. I've asked if we can purchase a battery and he says AAA doesn't sell batteries. I've had AAA for about 20 years and purchased plenty of batteries from whomever they've sent. He jumped started my car but that didn't last long about time we reached the corner the car stopped. I contacted AAA again they stated they would be able to tow my car but due to COVID only my car. My husband took an Uber to the nearest auto parts and installed the battery himself. This was absolutely a waste time. And this is why I have decided to cut ties with this company. BTW-We had masks so there was no reason whatsoever to tow only the car. read more

Went in on Friday to meet with a travel agent, talked with Mona who absolutely could not answer any of my questions or concerns about the flights and lay overs. Wanted me to book a flight leaving at 6am arriving at 1:30 am the following day. Because it was the cheapest all though that was not my concern, when I asked about the rental car I would be needing she then said well they don't open until I think 9am so from 1:30 am to 9 am when they open you would need to wait at the airport.. Very rude unpleasant unprofessional and very un personable.. If you go to aaa for travel stay away from Mona! read more

I get it... we all have bad days at work. But when you're in customer service--the first person we see and talk to when we enter the doors to AAA, you need to be welcoming and nice. Heck! We pay to be members! We have to wait for your AAA services. We don't need your bullshit. The lady was not nice in her tone of voice, nor did she smile at any guests, myself and those ahead of me. I tried to get her name but she doesn't have a name. Today is 5/13/19 at 3:20PM, caucasian medium build in her late 30s. Stay away from her. Be humble. Enjoy your job! Your energy is transferred to everyone you meet & greet. I love AAA but not this lady. If you don't want to be a greeter, find another job. read more

Believe me when I say anyone could call & get insurance in under 45 mins! My husband does everything for me, Unfortunately he was slacking on insurance for the car, I called myself, & trust me when I say I don't know how to do anything . Getting insurance for my new car was so easy, a monkey could do it. I talked on the phone with a woman named Victoria & she explained everything so well, I didn't know anything about insurance or forms & she walked me through it step by step helping me save the most I can! I will never get rid of this insurance. So happy i could drive with ease now ;) read more

Called to have my father-in-laws home insurance changed to AAA. Took several days for Travis Averill to get back to me. After submitting the request, the underwriters denied home insurance because the home was adjacent to The Probation Training Center (the old Obregon Middle School in Pico Rivera. Understood, but I had a few questions. I texted and called him several times and he simply blew me off. No call back or text. Makes you wonder what his reply would've been if I was a customer with an insurance claim.Travis Averill is not professional and should not be trusted with anyone's insurance needs as an agent. I ended up taking the day off work and went into AAA. Ware. The supervisor was very accommodating and answered all of my questions. This is simply about how pitiful Mr. Averill as an agent. Be warned. read more

I spoke to Eric. I kept getting messages stating that I did not pay mine my membership which I did. And he had to me out and said that it was all paid up I had nothing to worry about. I also asked him about My car insurance and he had broke it down to me to where I was able to understand what I what I actually had in coverage. He was such a great help. read more

AAA automobile club of Southern California is unreliable. I got off a 12 hr shift discovered I had a flat tire so I call AAA the lady told me she's putting in the request for assistance I waited for the time and called the assistant the second time when the request didn't show up, this AAA representative told me the tow company that the first representative sent was closed and had closed at 5pm, I initially called AAA at 8:15 pm. It's been an hour now. Anyway the second representative placed me on hold for about 15 minutes then told me that he was unable to provide me any service because NO service was available in the area (Rosemead, Ca) well I drove off very disappointed once again and the service of AAA representative and how they deal with customers with emergency issues. Anyway, I'm driving to the nearest gas station and I get a call from an unfamiliar number it's this woman who works for AAA she said she just saw me driving down the street on Rosemead Blvd on a flat tire and called into AAA (her job) to help assist me when she arrived to the gas station where I went to get "fix a flat" she ask for my ID then ask if I was complaining and had an attitude with the AAA representative? I'm like No, I didn't but I did explain to her that I have called AAA a few other times (twice) and I didn't get the service expected and how I really needed her to do something to help me, and I didn't want to wait hours for assistance... the lady responded well you shouldn't have said that because they told me NOT to help you . I'm like WHAT why would they do that to me I'm stuck with a flat it's raining and I just finished working a 12 hr shift My GOD people are cold and heartless at AAA you'd tell other representatives not to help a customer in need during an emergency situation and I've been a member for well over 10yrs. AAA Southern California is the worst of the coldest. Oh but like the woman advised me save your complaints til the end. read more

So the renewal for my AAA came in and I was hesitant to renew. I've been working from home and not driving anywhere, so it made no sense to renew. However, I forgot how much more you get from being a card carrying member. I was really stressed out over having to go to the DMV and deal with some registration issues. Getting up early, dealing with the angry DMV staff, I was not about it. Then my wife told me that AAA has DMV services and I headed in. Let me tell you how nice the staff was from the person checking me in to the person who helped me with my registration. There was another issue that was causing me to not get renewal notices from the dealership that bought my previous car. Someone got Michelle Coyle to help me out and let me tell you, she went above and beyond to make sure I had everything fixed. She told me what happened, explained what we needed to do to fix it. We got it settled it up and I got everything fixed in like 20 minutes. At the actual DMV, I'd pay all these fee's, sign all this paperwork, ask for help on the matter get told to fix it at home, then deal with attitude. Nope to the nope. I love this place and will renew again when it's time. You get peace of mind and convenience with a AAA membership. read more

Went here in a Saturday at 1:30pm it was closed. Hours of operation read open till 2 on.

I had the occasion to need DMV services to have a lost placard replaced. I used Google to find out what documents I would need in order to obtain a replacement. Since I didn't want to go near a DMV office, I searched online and found out that AAA could handle this. As it was, my options were to go to a AAA office or mail in the needed forms to DMV and wait a few weeks for the replacement to come. I decided to give AAA a try first thing Saturday morning. They were open at 8 am, so I made sure to get there right when they opened. I got there shortly after 8 am to find there were a few other people already waiting. I printed out and filled in what I thought was the necessary forms to get this done and brought it with me. After only waiting a few minutes, I was called by a representative to be helped. I handed her the paperwork and she told me that the form was not the correct one for a replacement. She promptly handed me the correct form to fill out and once filled out, she processed it for me. Within 5 minutes, I was done and on my way home. I'm sure glad I decided to use AAA services. They were quite attentive and knowledgable and surely saved me a lot of time. read more

The AAA Agent named George Zamora at the AAA Whittier office is probably the laziest AAA Agent I have come across. He wants me to fill out all the forms without him lifting a finger and then after all of that, he wants me to contact the out-of-state DMV myself to get a title information. Mind you I was at the AAA office in West Covina where the lady was willing to assist with the forms except I had to abort the application because I forgot one other document to register the car. Anyway, I decided to go to the DMV office in person where they took care of my registration. Be aware that AAA doesn't have access to all DMV information or this guy George Zamora is just lazy or doesn't have the know-how or training to look up DMV information. What a waste of time. Maybe after 46 years of paying AAA, it's about time to cancel my membership. read more

Louis came to my rescue in the evening to recharge my dead battery as I was leaving a local restaurant. He was efficient and had me on my way in no time. I'm glad I can depend on AAA and the towing service they contract with. Thank you, Louis, for a superb job! read more

AAA has got to do something about there contracted help. I truly don't appreciate being treated like a jerk and threatened by Hadley tow that they will cancel my order. I pay you AAA a membership fee that every year. I don't pay your 2 bit contractors that you hire. I'm your customer before you just pass me on and think that your contractors are truly handling your business the way you would do your business . Your so wrong. I have to put a star . If I had my choice I would put zero. I'll be canceling my membership of 16 years. If you thank me every time for my 16 years as a member, Show me. Because I have been on the phone for 2 hours on the roadside assistance. 2 hrs. What if I had a true emergency. AAA is a fraud. I'm ready for any representatives to call so this situation can be escalated. read more

Why have Membership if you can't pay for registration with debit card. I thought membership was suppose to save you time. I had to go dmv for two hour. read more

Helped with my car tags and took about 20 mintues. Everyone was polite and professional.

I've been a member with AAA for 17 years till today had a very bad experience was broken down on the side of the road at 2 o'clock and waited till 6:00 PM for them to come pick me up was so frustrated because at one point a tow truck driver came to tell me they had canceled his towing with me and drove off I waited another two hours then was stuck in the 6 o'clock traffic in LA to South Whittier weather it's AAA's fault or the contractors they deal with AAA is the one that's losing my member ship read more

Came in to renew my registration. Beats going to the DMV. The people here are 100% better. Polite and awesome. I'm never going to the dmv again. Lol read more

Very friendly and accommodating staff, and enough to provide fast service so whenever you go it is a quick stop.

Ended up purchasing my insurance at a different auto company due to how rude the agent was towards me. Was really upset with my experience at the Whittier location this past Saturday. Had purchased a new vehicle and was looking to get a quote for auto insurance for myself. When checking in, my husband had checked in with his AAA card (I have my own, but he beat me to the punch to get it scanned) so when we met with the agent without any questions she automatically started looking for a quote for him rather than asking who it was for. Her desk has the clear shield and She was wearing a mask and gloves due to COVID, which I have no problem with. However, my frustration started when she knew I was having a hard time hearing her (I'm hard of hearing) due to shield and her mask and yet she still kept talking to me in a very low volume. I felt like she was in a rush and didn't really want to service us and that wasn't the experience we were expecting given that we have never had any issues before. She was curt and for no reason and because of that I ended up purchasing my insurance at another company. read more

Horrible 3 years with AAA home, auto and life insurance. Both of my houses lost home insurance without proper notification and without any explanation. They took a week to fix their issue, so i had no home insurance for that period. In an auto claim they did not properly defend me, which led to my insurance costs to increase. AAA is an expensive insurance, I expected better support and quality for the price. I have switched insurance and have not had any such issues since. read more

Bunch of morons working here made me wait an hour and half just to be told they couldn't help me with the service I needed. Pretty much the front desk lady that checked me in is an idiot and didn't know I guess that they don't check points at AAA. If she knew her job I wouldn't have waisted my time. read more

Shame on AAA for using an inferior tow company for the City of Whittier. Hadley tow is no longer capable of handling AAA's clients. There is a discrepancy regarding the text messaging for arrivals of services and your clients waiting well past five star ratings. wake up AAA quit going with the cheapest bids your clients are suffering because of it you only received a star because Yelp insisted for the post. read more

I have been a member for 29 years. My car's check engine light went on, and I pulled off of the freeway. I called roadside service advising them I was at a rest stop, and there were two woman in the car. It was getting dark. The soonest they could come was 2 hrs! I supposedly have Premier Service. What a joke! I am going into the office and complain to the manager and demand a full refund! read more

Cash or check only at AAA. Who uses checks? It's 2108, about to be 2019. Get with the times. I would give 1 star but the girl at the front desk was super professional and helpful. Unfortunately, I had to leave because they don't take cards. read more

AAA Is by far the best way to deal with car registration problems. I went in this morning with a huge problem ( I did not receive or pay my registration for 2 years) . George and Jennifer walked me through the process of what I needed to do and I left with an answer to my problem. Something the DMV website was unable to do. So think AAA first if you need to register your vehicle. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes. read more

Even though I'm not a customer with this company I had an awful experience! I was a witness to an accident and this insurance called me and left a voicemail saying they would like to take my statement so I called back and left a voicemail nobody had gotten back to me it's been two months and have left a few voicemails and no one has returned my call!!! So unprofessional!! The insurance of the other vehicle called me back within a day! Clearly this company isn't doing everything possible for their customers I guess my statement that may or may not help their client isn't important! read more

I actually never noticed that Whittier had an AAA store. I was trying to buy the freeway tole transponder and when I arrived and waited for a few minutes. They told me that they ran out and they weren't sure when they will be getting a next batch of them. She suggested us to go to the Fullerton location which actually did have them in stock and said they do have plenty of them in the store. I picked up four and they worked fine for us! I like the building for this Whittier location but I think they should follow Fullerton's idea in stalking up on products that seem to be getting bought up by customers. read more

I lined up at 9:15 am on the west side of building in the shade. It was a real hot day today. The staff came at 9:45 am and moved our line to the east side of the building. I was in direct sun and it was really hot. I was in line with 20 or more members in the direct sun and it was really miserable. I did not understand why the staff did not leave us on the shade side of the building. They did. not offer any small water bottles and did not use common sense in this matter. The workers were all in a Cool AC building with bottle water with no thought of the members. I could not believe what I witness today and I left with a really bad headache from the hot sun baking on my head like heat stroke. I even told the staff how come they did not offer water for their older members and they ignored my comment. What a di read more

Lickity-split. I've been in drive-thrus that took longer than it took me to park, get out my car, get to reception, go to the waiting area in the back, didn't even get a chance to sit down because the lady was waiting for me, gave her my papers and she gave me my tags. I swear that what it took for me to write this was about as fast as I was out of there. It is also the only AAA I've been to that is open at 8am on a Saturday. And they are super courteous. read more

Good overall experience.. So I have my tags stolen off my truck, and think, crap, DMV.. oh how I hate dealing with the DMV. As I was telling my story to my friend at work, she suggested, "go to AAA, they do that there, and no lines", and " im like what?", and she's like "ya", im like "cool"... So I found the one closest to work and I went. The place is on the outskirts of whitter, but a nice decent size place. Very clean and organized. Went in, and took care of business in less than 20 mins, if that. Left with a big smile on this face.. and yes, i love to smile.. So AAA, I salute you. read more

Aaa has saved my a** more times than I can count over the years . Especially if you have an older car , etc... it's Necessary in my opinion ! read more

First experience was great! Front desk gave me paper to get smog then come back and get sticker. Second time around, not so well. Long wait. Was told where is paper I gave what lady gave me she said there was suppose to be more. She started yelling out load to front desk did you say or do this. So unprofessional. 10 year loyal AAA customer never seen that. Never going back to that location again. read more

Let me start by saying I've been a customer for 25 plus years I've had good to decent customer service experiences in the past. Unfortunately yesterday when trying to effect a simple title transfer in the whittier office " Jordana" presented herself extremely unprofessionally!! Never said the word "please" never explained anything to me it's unfortunate that she's lost her customer service spirit! The shine has worn off I think she needs to find yourself a job outside of customer service! read more

This location has made me want to cancel my membership completely. They have had me running up and down to get my license plate tags renewed and when I finally get all their dumb requests situated, they take my debit card to renew my membership but would not accept my debit card for my tag renewal. When I asked why they took it for their membership but not for my tags they simply said "we just don't". They sent me to a Wells Fargo atm and when I got there it wasn't even working. They have wasted all this time with me and my tags are STILL NOT RENEWED! Now I need to go back AGAIN just to pay cash and finally have my tags renewed. This place has you jump through hoops for absolutely no reason it's ridiculous. Never recommending triple A to anyone ever again. Just get the towing from your insurance company cuz this definitely ain't worth it. I would have so much rather spent a whole day at the DMV than go through their circus acts. It has been 3 days of this and I'm hoping tomorrow is the last I ever have to see them again. read more

What a coincidence. After reading the review of James B. I recall dealing with the same rep in early June (remembering her unique name.) But my experience with her was completely different, for I found her to be professional, patient and very friendly. Perhaps you were just in a bad mood that day sir. Hopefully you were wearing your mask too. read more

No friendly. Tried to register my trailer here three times. Finally came with the correct paperwork and it turns out I still had to go to the DMV. It would have been helpful if they explained that on the first visit. read more

Always a great experience especially for the DMV service. Started the process of transferring a title online due to Covid and as usual the DMV offices never got back to me and when they did email me back it was too late the case had closed i was furious . Finally when AAA opened its doors again for the DMV i waited in line with my mask and sanitizer in hand and they helped me right away i maybe waited 20 min if that and the person Jessica who helped me was friendly and patient with me when asking my questions, unfortunately i did not have the proper documentation i need (duh me) so she told me to fill it out and bring it back and she'll take me right away so i don't have to wait in Line .. and just like that (poof) the paperwork was filed and out for processing YAY!!!!!!!!!!! read more
