To continue Tele-Aid or Not?

Its almost been one year since I've had my car and i have to decide
whether or not to renew by April. Car has been flawless thus far
though its been garaged most of the winter.

Not sure what i should do and would appreciate your feedback.
Its $20/month.

hi, i renewed my teleaid for the 2nd straight year primarily for the car tracking service. cheaper than lojack. can also unlock your car if you lock the keys in. others will chime in with their opinion but 20 a month is not a bad deal for peace of mind.

you might also want to add your location in your profile in user cp. this helps members answer your future questions based on location.

I never activated mine, it was free for the first year, had on-star on the GMC envoy, never used it, never missed it, don't need it. IMO.

If you ever break down the first thing you are going to say is "****, I wish I had this activated". What is $20 a month...Going to 2 movies? Just do it.
