You Have a Friend in AAA
December 14, 2018. John Galvin
As I think about the new year, one word keeps coming to mind: community. We talk a lot about community here at AAA Northeast, as we believe it means more than people living together in a common area. To us, community is being there for you when you need us most. It’s helping and serving in the neighborhoods where…

Onward Has Always Been the AAA Way
December 14, 2018. AAA Staff

Member Thinks Back on His 1940 Ford Convertible
November 15, 2018. AAA Staff
“My first car (in the early ’50s) was a 1940 Ford convertible. My brother gave it to me when he went into the Navy. I loved the car and had few dates in high school as I spent all my money on repairing, souping up and customizing it. It was a dark green, eight-cylinder, 100-horsepower…
Tow Driver Saves Lives
November 15, 2018. Andrew Sheldon
May 17 started out like any other day in Mike Benson’s life. The owner of Powder Mill Towing & Auto Repair in Parsippany, N.J., was towing a car to Pennsylvania. But as he drove through the Mount Olive section of Interstate 80, everything changed. In front of him, a bus taking fifth-graders on a field…
AAA Employees Help During Crisis
November 15, 2018. Dana Laverty
The young family standing in front of Darlene Ford, branch manager of the AAA Tewksbury location, had nothing. No diapers for their baby. No wallet or pocketbook. No house. They fled their home during the Sept. 13 gas explosions, and were now facing Darlene at an Elks Lodge serving as a resource center for those…

Prepare Your Car for Winter Weather
September 15, 2018. John Galvin
None of us want, or ever expect, breakdowns on the side of the highway, dead batteries in driveways or blown tires in parking lots. It seems these things happen at the worst times, and at AAA we are proud to be able to make those times a little less frantic for our nearly 6 million…
