The lady in Call Assist managed to find my exact location in Mid Wales within minutes. I got message that the recovery would be with me 20_30 minutes, which they were. The mechanic found the fault and corrected it and I was back mobile within the hour. Brilliant service thank you all.

Friendly staff, swift response & pickup

my call for help was picked up swiftly and the person who answered was very considerate, sympathetic and handled my call very efficiently. The pickup driver was courteous, kept me well informed as to when he’d be arriving, and again very empathetic.

All staff including mechanics were lovely and helpful. Too a bit longer than the estimated to arrive but then again, I was at home so my case lacked urgency, so was to be expected and I didn't mind too much. Was also a Saturday. Car was towed away the next working day to the dealership that I always get my services done, Monday and was fixed! For an unpleasant circumstance, I'm very happy with how it was all handled. :)

Good advice from WHICH magazine

Good advice from WHICH magazine and I signed up for Start Rescue. Car failed to start at home and from my initial phone call everything went perfectly and a technician would be with me within an hour. In the event he was delayed by traffic but importantly he phoned to tell me and sorted out a replacement battery when he arrived. I received several calls from Call Assist checking if all was ok and a final one to check that I was happy with the service. It was exceptional!

Easy to deal with and I would recommend them

Excellent manner on the phone. She organised a breakdown to come within an hour and he was under an hour. I thoroughly recommend them as being reliable and a very competitive price.

I contacted customer service as the breakdown was in Carlisle. My son was driving and the person I spoke to was extremely helpful and explained that it is the car not the driver that is covered. I subsequently used the app to confirm breakdown etc. The whole experience was really stress free and I was kept up to date with all aspects of my car.

I wouldn't waste your time with this company as its a sham.
They told me i wasn't covered in France and would have to make my own plans to sort out my breakdown of my car.
I sorted everything myself and a week later when at home got a call from them telling me they had made a mistake and i should have been covered.
They told me to claim for car hire and taxis.
So i did and after 2 weeks of emails they have told me they won't pay 85% of the claim.
There is no point in wasting your time with Ping insurance and call assist. I will revert to the AA as their european policy has always been great.

I strongly advise others not to use or deal with Call Assist
. My experience with them was extremely disappointing and stressful.

A recovery driver from Call Assist - Yorkshire Rescue Service Ltd- seriously damaged my vehicle by ignoring clear instructions. I explained that my car had a clutch issue and should not be forced into gear. Despite my warnings, the driver attempted to start the car and force the gears, which caused the vehicle to smoke and led to major mechanical damage to the clutch and starter motor.

I submitted video evidence, a garage report confirming the damage, and proof of the cost I incurred. Still, MSL dismissed the entire complaint, claiming the damage was due to “wear and tear.” They refused to take any responsibility and clearly tried to shift the blame, ignoring all the facts and evidence I provided.

This company hides behind vague policies instead of resolving issues fairly. Their handling of complaints is unprofessional, and they do not act in good faith. If you value your vehicle and peace of mind, stay far away from Call Assist.
