Change a tire on your vehicle. Sure beats waiting for AAA or whatever. (Although some newer cars don’t come with spare tires).
Jumpstart a car. With jumper cables or one of those battery jumpstart boxes.
Changing your oil can save some money. Add chassis lubrication too while you’re at it. Can save quite a bit on service costs. (Just don’t skip other regular services, lest your car fail you which will be expensive in the long run)
Repair a toilet by replacing internal parts such as: valve, flapper, float, flush lever.
Tow companies aren’t paid enough by AAA for them to prioritize you in any way. You will get lesser quality service from people who are frustrated their workplace contracts with AAA.
As much as it sucks, try to save money for vehicle emergencies and/or be able to fix minor vehicle issues yourself.
More importantly, learn your vehicles maintenance schedule and follow it religiously. If you are only maintaining it when something goes wrong, you are missing the forest for the trees.

On the coast we have a ferry system, a public-private partnership - aw fuck, right? - that “runs to failure” and only maintains when things are actually broken.
It’s become such an unreliable mess, now. But the CEO gets a bonus.
