Update: called this morning AAA and was told i can have same day benefits if i pay a same day surcharge of $90. I agreed but they couldnt match the online $38 promotion so i hung up, signed up online then put in a claim with roadside assist. They didn’t charge me the $90 same day surcharge.

It says clearly online.
For a 5 mile tow you can use immediately, for a longer tow you have to wait.

You can sign up with any address in new jersey and then change it.

Or for all practical purposes. Don't bother changing it. Once you have the membership you're fine.

I have a 2021 odyssey
The automatic sliding door opens just fine. Half the time it closes fine as well. The other times it beeps 3 times and will not budge at all. I checked to see if anything is in the way and it appears clear.
Any tips?

You’d rather not use your insurance policy for roadside.

Had something similar with my Toyota Sienna.  I never did figure out the problem but I sprayed silicone lubricant on the track and the problem resolved.  (I may have done 2 or 3 applications over a couple of days)

Not really a "repair" but does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a mold/mildew smell out of a car?

Hi, I have a very small crack in my windshield. I’m afraid if left untreated it will get too big and require replacing the whole windshield. Any tips or tricks to apply to crack to prevent from spreading further?

I've heard of using clear nail-polish for this. No personal experience though.

Buy a windshield repair kit.
