Thanks CAA
A few days before my wife and I were
on our way to a Sandals resort in
Jamaica, we discovered that our passports had expired. We drove to the
CAA location on St. Anne’s looking for
any assistance that we could obtain
with passport application renewals and
photos. Two of your CAA associates,
Aimee S. and Bonnie P., put us at ease
immediately and took care of our needs
in a professional and efficient manner,
above and beyond our expectations. My
wife and I congratulate you for having
such a great team of pleasant, efficient,
well-motivated individuals.

He quickly noted the battery cables
were very loose and tightened them for
me. He followed me out of the parking
lot to make sure the original noise
we had heard was not continuing.
I sincerely appreciated all his assistance, polite manner and helpfulness.
Thank you.

Thank you CAA for saving me when I
locked myself out of my car, and assuring me that it’s totally normal for an
adult to do so!

Don’t waste time waiting
on hold for roadside assistance—there’s an app for
that! With the CAA mobile
app (free, iOS and Android),
you can submit your next
roadside assistance request
in seconds. You can also
access member savings, insurance info, gas prices and
nearby CAA Rewards partners—all in one app. Need
more auto help? Get instant
battery quotes and a guide
to CAA Approved Auto
Repair Services locations.
If you’re on a road trip, use
the built-in GPS navigation,
powered by Google Maps,
to plan your route. Your
map will display nearby
hotels, restaurants and
attractions, plus detour
and construction alerts.
Thank you for the excellent service. I
phoned your contact number regarding car battery testing and was handled
very professionally. I was advised that
a representative would be out in a halfhour. He arrived as scheduled, tested
the battery and charging system and
explained his findings, and I decided
to purchase a new battery. The battery
was installed promptly and my vehicle became ready for another Manitoba
winter. Thanks again.

A quick comment about a recent service call I had with CAA. The driver,
Crawford, was exceptionally helpful.
He not only fixed my tire, he checked
all my tires and also my vehicle’s motor.

The story “The Great Hockey Getaway” by Lucas Aykroyd in our Winter 2015
issue incorrectly stated that goalie Terry Sawchuk was born in Saskatchewan.
Sawchuk was born in Winnipeg in 1929 and grew up in the city’s East Kildonan
community. Thank you to CAA members Gerry Young and Kent Morgan
for spotting the error.
