Really outstanding service

Really outstanding service - My car failed to start at a park & ride. Dead battery. Really easy reporting through AA app, immediate acknowledgement, received a call within 5 mins from Haydn who located my vehicle (amongst many 100s of cars) through my phone. He arrived within 10 mins, diagnosed fault & fitted a replacement battery. I was on my way home within 30 mins. I switched to the AA this year because of poor service from another provider - this was the first time I've used the AA & I can't fault the service. Thank you!

Peter

Peter, the mechanic, turned up within 10 minutes of my reporting the breakdown. He tested and replaced my entirely dead battery quickly and competently, while taking the trouble to explain every stage of the battery testing to me. He was pleasant, cheerful and polite.

Richard- Efficient and professional

Richard arrived exactly on time. He quickly assessed the issue and talked me through exactly what he was doing and subsequently identified the malfunctioning part and the cause. He even gave me a rough idea of the repair cost. Richard was very informative, professional and efficient.

I’ve been an AA member for over 25…

I’ve been an AA member for over 25 years. As a disabled person, It’s vital I have access to a reliable breakdown service, the AA has been excellent in this regard, they have never let me down. I’ve found every AA operative I’ve dealt with has been professional, knowledgeable, diligent, efficient and friendly. Today’s operative was no exception. Thank you to Sohrab who came to my rescue today. I’m incredibly grateful.

5 star service

Simply a well deserved 5 stars, from start to finish, beginning with the person taking my call and initiating/recording the breakdown request to the engineer’s timely follow-up during travel to the location and rendering the needful services, I am very pleased on the overall efficiency and time taken to safe guard my return home.
