AAA Insurance Michigan

AAA Insurance Michigan: notably paternalistic “auto club” which awards itself a lot of “As” but gets a “B” from this customer.

According to my buddies at Symbiotic, AAA Insurance Michigan hangs around $5.00 click. AAA Michigan’s insurance offerings are familiar in my circles. My late mother-in-law worked for the notably paternalistic company for 20 years. Her workplace at AAA Michigan was a refuge for her from her increasingly abusive alcoholic husband. Not enough of a refuge, though; she died at 53. I can’t help but feel vaguely disappointed that AAA Michigan, like so many other firms, was, in the end, silent and unaware of its employees’ personal tragedy. These “employee assistance programs” are a good start, but somehow I feel that something is missing in the whole scheme of employment in our country when you can work somewhere that

I myself have been a AAA Michigan insurance purchaser ever since I learned to drive (at 25, but that’s a story for another day). I’ve almost always gotten my AAA Michigan insurance through a group purchase plan at the University of Michigan Credit Union. In theory, this entitles me to a discount … in practice, when I’ve comparison-shopped, the discount has never seemed that great.

AAA Michigan’s insurance claim services have usually been pretty efficient. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience with a AAA Michigan insurance claims adjuster. I’ve filed maybe four or five claims in my 20 years, and they’ve always responded quickly and paid what I thought I was due.

AAA Michigan has an advertising campaign running right now for its road-side service. The gist of it is:

  • moderately dangerous crisis described (your daughter wants to buy a new car)
  • AAA Michigan comes to the rescue (for example, by offering insurance)
  • stirring music allowing you to congratulate yourself on your smarts in being a AAA Michigan insurance or road-side service customer


Somehow, the AAA Michigan ad campaign fails to impress. It is just a bit too smug and smarmy. It would be so much more effective if it was a little more common-sensical and understated.

That’s all I have to say for now … stay tuned for tomorrow’s high-paying Google AdSense Word of the Day!
