Honestly the worst experience and customer service I’ve ever had with a company like this. So unhelpful, that’s IF you can speak to someone. Over an hour on hold for “emergency assistance” tonight and... See more

excellent speedy service

Timely reminder as I forget things and another just before due to renew, Good price and thankful up to now not needed to try their breakdown service but would expect it to be as good if not better than their admin side.

No communications breakdown here

Have just renewed my policy for a further year following 12 months of breakdown inactivity on my part.

For that reason, I have had no opportunity to judge the efficiency of your service, but I have no reason to believe it stands at anything but the highest level.

HOPE I NEVER SEE YOU BABYYYYYYYYY not today or ever although you are in my mind

Everything is good EXCEPT one thing when I first joined I singed up for 4 star home start this year I see you have only given me 3 star I did not notice this as it certainly was not very clear BEFORE I had paid you WHY the drop ? Please make your repeat order forms much clearer . I would not have signed for three star but once button was pressed and money sent it seems I had no chance to change it. Please try to help old aged people like me out.

Fantastic

We only used them once when the battery died on my wife's car, but they came out promptly and started the car and informed us that the battery was done.

Great value for the price as a lot lower than other companies.
Renewal reminders sent so you're never not covered
Highly recommend

Very easy and quick to use.

This breakdown service is as good as any and half the price (for renewal). You just have to print out your own documents and you don't get a free piece of junk torch as a gift.

EXCELLENT SERVICE

I have had to call Cover My Breakdown Service out twice and on both occasions received first class service. The first I had a puncture and the break down mechanic arrived within 20 minutes and changed my tyre in appalling weather conditions telling me to sit in the car. The second time I couldn't start my car, again the mechanic arrived speedily and after jump starting my car, he checked the battery and said I needed and new one and was willing to wait until I got one so he could fix it in for me.

Breakdown, I hope not

This is my second year with Breakdown cover. I did have a minor mishap in September when in the UK and made a call. They were very helpful with advise but I was fortunate enough to be able to resolve the problem locally.

Arrived when wanted

Just renewed for the third year. Had one call out many months ago, very pleased with speed of arrival and getting problem sorted out quickly. Also much cheaper than many companies.

Provides what they claim

I had two similar breakdowns within a short period, Their man arrived in a reasonable time and was polite and helpful. The Telephone people were equally professional.

Handy Card?

only just joined yourselves so not in a position to offer a view. I am disappointed that you do not provide a handy card with contact details to ensure you have easy access in case a breakdown occurs.

Hi Henry,

As we are a web based company we e-mail the documentation once a policy is booked and you are required to print a one page Certificate of Insurance that displays the emergency number and policy number.

If you are having difficulties printing a copy or would like a hard copy by post, please e-mail ruth@breakdowncover.ie and I will be happy to add a hard copy to the post.

Kind Regards,

Better than the rest at lower cost too!

Well , I've used the Breakdown service . It gives peace of mind at Lower cost than other rival companies , They did not raise the price on renewal of the service and they meet the 1hour requirement for your call.
