Totally useless incoherent service

Not fit to be called a breakdown service. Took 5 calls and 1.5 hours to finally speak to correct person to arrange roadside assistance (Jan 2024). Made complaint but there was no real action taken. I was called back and told my case would be investigated and I would hear back - I never did.

Service offering

I have never had to use the service. However I would appreciate a service where more than one car and more than one driver is protected and at a cheaper rate than one driver and one car basis
