Towing does not rely on dealer integrity.
In the US, this is how your warranty reads:

If your vehicle cannot be driven,
contact the nearest authorized
Honda automobile dealer for towing
assistance. You do not have to pay
for towing to the nearest authorized
Honda automobile dealer if the
failure is covered by any of the
warranties in this book.

You really should become familiar with your warranty book.

I agree.

@Ted, if you intend to reply to the OP, perhaps a quote of their OP was on order to remove all doubt on who was responding to whom?

I believe it was clear I was writing to OP, to make three points.
First, I took a contrary position to what I considered a wrong assertion. By essentially adding "not" to the wrong assertion. I was not looking to confront another writer, merely contradict misinformation. If I were writing to the one who posted the misinformation, I would have used something like "your assertion that warranty coverage is a function of dealer integrity......." as the lead in.
Second, I quoted from the warranty. Apparently offensive to someone.
Third, encouraging OP to become familiar with his/her warranty, clearly indicating that with the word "your". I encourage everyone, in every context, to be aware of their rights and benefits...not relying on other to look out for them.

It is unfortunate that some cannot have their assertions respectfully contradicted without immediately responding with ad hominum attacks.

Many people don't realize that the jumper cables are an important part of jumping a car. Lots of crap cables out there that wouldn't carry enough current to start a single cylinder lawn mower. Could explain the differences in experience.

They are the place to go for the Big F'n version of most things, where you're whomping stuff and not doing precision work. And nitrile gloves. And there's a really nice rechargeable Bauer LED worklight, currently $20.
Been there more than a couple times. 😄

May have bought?

Interesting turn of a phrase. When and how will you find out whether you have? When the kid gets home?

Enjoy it! We won't tell on you!!
