I think they did a much better job before they moved out of Lk Havasu City. They were a few doors up from my RV repair shop when they first moved to town and I used to talk to them quite often. This was back in the 90's and I loaned them my mapping software as they were still using paper maps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkhartjim Report post Posted June 13, 2017 Jrock, this is for roadside service not a service contract to repair something broken. Good Sams is $69/year for new members. Coach-Net is $249.00/year. I dropped Coach-Net two years ago when they said the only service company they could find had a 2 hour minimum charge and I would have to pay for the additional hour. I located 5 service companies within ten minutes that didn't have the 2 hour minimum and their rate per hour was less than Coach-Nets provider. Coach-Net would only use the one they first found. I canceled the service call, used one I found, saved myself $15, subscribed to Good Sams and cancelled Coach-Net. I've used Good Sams on three different occasions, all for my Jeep, with acceptable service. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted June 13, 2017 I have dropped Coach Net and gone with the FMCA one. Keep in mind all this is is a service to find someone to come out or to tow you. Realistically with today's technology you should be able to do it yourself. In the bad old days you had a map and you had to find a phone and phone book to try to call someone. Especially when in a place you had no knowledge of. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossboyer Report post Posted June 14, 2017 I switched to FMCA Roadside Assist this past March after going to their seminar in Chandler. The supplier is VAS which use to do Coachnet. They answered all my questions. The only difference I see is that Coachnet covers any vehicle you are driving and FMCA Roadside Assist covers listed vehicles and the cost is less than half. Over the years I have had AAA, Good Sam and Coachnet. The only reason I switch was cost. All seemed to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jleamont Report post Posted June 14, 2017 My Coachnet expires next month, I'm not renewing. Never used it and as Bill mentioned above with technology today I feel its a waste of money, you can search for you own help, it might take a little longer, but its free. If it gave more than a service to look up and call a vendor to us I'd consider renewing, but the cost would have to be worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertdeals69 Report post Posted June 14, 2017 Since Coachnet seems to just arrange for the service I see little benefit in todays world. Back in the 90s they were a technical resource center, I know because them being located next to our RV repair shop they would ask us tech questions from time to time.

Coach is now covered for assist via Progressive...have not used it, so I can't comment. Forgot the amount. My Progressive Roadside Assist is $26 also (with policy, of course). I haven't used it either. I have used CoachNet for towing and was pleased with the service. That was 2 years ago. Progressive policy: If you pay the premium for this coverage, we will pay for our authorized service representative to provide the following services when necessary due to a covered emergency: 1. towing of a covered disabled vehicle to the nearest qualified repair facility; and 2. labor on a covered disabled vehicle at the place of disablement. If a covered disabled vehicle is towed to any place other than the nearest qualified repair facility, you will be responsible for any additional charges incurred. Additionally, there are exclusions. Read the policy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
