Ready to ride to the rescue for cars that have gone south in SoCal is the Automobile Club of Southern California. The largest member of the American Automobile Association (AAA) federation of motor clubs, the Auto Club of Southern California is a not-for-profit that serves about 6 million members from 70-plus offices in about a dozen counties. The club provides 24-hour roadside assistance, travel planning, auto pricing, buying, and maintenance services, as well as a host of insurance plans. In addition, members can renew vehicle registrations, plates, and stickers at club offices. The club also publishes Westways magazine, which offers travel tips and discounts.
