In this issue of Via, we celebrate the beauty of the West. It’s an amazing place to live and explore, as my wife, Missi, and I were recently reminded during a trip to the Oregon Coast.

Wherever life’s journey takes you, it pays to rely on expert advice. Our AAA Travel agents have the knowledge and experience to help you plan your dream vacation, whether you’re heading out on a quick getaway or the trip of a lifetime.

If you’re among the millions of Americans taking a summer road trip, we’ve got you covered. Our world-class emergency road service helps AAA members travel with confidence.

While Basic membership is primarily designed for those who remain close to home, we also offer Plus membership, with towing of up to 100 miles and enhanced benefits such as expanded locksmith and extrication services, accident away from home reimbursement, travel accident insurance and motorcycle support.

Premier membership takes things to the next level. In addition to all the Plus membership benefits, Premier includes one member entitlement of up to 200 miles of towing, home lockout assistance, trip interruption reimbursement, access to a travel concierge and more.

If you’re planning on summer fun with an RV or toy trailer, you’ll need Plus RV membership. To select the level of membership that’s right for you, please visit
AAA.com or call (888) 422-2503.

Before you head out on your road trip, your vehicle needs to be ready. Please visit a AAA Approved Auto Repair facility for expert advice and quality repairs at a fair price. For a shop near you, please visit AAA.com/autorepair.

Or maybe you’re ready to buy a vehicle. Take the hassle out of buying a car with the AAA Car Buying Service. We can find the right new or used vehicle for you and negotiate the price on your behalf without you having to visit a dealership. Trade-ins are welcome, and financing options are available. We also offer convenient delivery options and extended service contracts to fit your needs. The AAA Car Buying Service is available in Oregon. Find out more at AAA.com/carbuyingservice.

To prevent heatstroke, please never leave children and pets unattended in your vehicle. A car’s temperature can soar by 20 degrees or more in as little as 10 minutes, even when the vehicle is in the shade, or the windows are cracked. Please help us avoid a tragedy.

How may we better serve you? Please email me at President@AAAOregonIdaho.com or write to me at 600 SW Market St., Portland, OR 97201 or 7155 W. Denton St., Boise ID 83704.

Your fellow AAA member,
