How long does it take AAA to respond to roadside assistance calls?

I'm looking at roadside assistance memberships and AAA looks good. I'm just worried about their response times. How long does it take AAA to respond to a call?

AAA has on-call technicians and drivers that can usually get to you pretty quickly, provided:
  • You’re not stranded in the middle of nowhere
  • The weather isn’t bad
  • The time of the incident is reasonable (midnight vs. noon)
AAA
states that its average response time is 21 minutes, but in rare instances, you might wait up to an hour depending on weather, timing, and other factors.
