Yousef was great. Saw me stressed on the side of the road when my vehicle broke down and came straight over. He is a credit to the AA and they should be proud to have a patrol like him on their team.... See more

Yousef was great. Saw me stressed on the side of the road when my vehicle broke down and came straight over. He is a credit to the AA and they should be proud to have a patrol like him on their team. Diagnosed my car and got it running within minutes
Joanne was excellent - the AA should be proud that she offers such good service. She looked for alternatives for me and was so friendly whilst still being professional. A total asset to customer service which is getting rarer to find. Thank you Joanne
My recovery guy was great & prompt. Super kind guy
Knowledgeable friendly and quick service.
Rhys was very prompt and helpful. He explained the issue and the resolution needed. He gave additional information. He maintained professionalism yet friendly.
Shane was brilliant repaired my front left tyre for me in no time and got me back driving ASAP. Great customer service I got tyre repaired in the garage on the way home. Thank you Shane Heather 😊
Reliable and quick and easy to book. Good service.
My 25 year old daughter broke down around Salisbury. This was around 6am while still dark. She called the AA twice to gain support but the level of interest in her exposed situation was lacklustre. After an hour and a half of waiting the police arrived, taking her to the station in order to continue her journey, and arranging for the removal of her car on a busy road to a compound. This cost her £190, plus £25 for every day it’s in the compound. Having reported this to the AA my daughter was transferred to smarter people who cleverly covered the AA’s backside, given they have refused to compensate for what will be £300. Instead, I need to now travel down to the compound, as my daughter works in the city, in order to be present to hand the car over to the AA within the compound. I am an AA franchise driving instructor, but despite this I strongly recommend using a different recovery company, given the AA’s service in this instance was utterly appalling. We are just glad at least the police turned up to help our daughter.
Battery flat, called TSB who informed the AA who were there within 20 minutes. Andy was excellent, got the car started, checked the battery condition and made sure we were ok. A credit to the AA and so professional
Kyle gave amazing customer service and even brought a smile to my face in a bad situation.
Tony diagnosed the problem ( failed alternator). , sourced a new alternator on a Saturday morning, and fitted it in torrential rain. Without his help we would have had to cancel 8 days of our 10 day holiday. A totally excellent job. Many thanks.
Very poor experience. My van was breakdown at 3:00 o’clock but no body came to check they came at 6:30 after that they are not able to repair the fault. Leave and said me wait for the toh but no body came for more than 3 hours. I have to wait till 9:00 pm which was very disappointing. Very very poor service😕
Inwas contacted within minutes of reporting my breakdown and was askes more details about the issue. The eya was original within the hour. Unfortunately it actually took nearly 4 hours for someone to arrive. Thw reasn given was that i was broken down at home and therefore others were prioritised ahead of me while i accept this and appreciate this is the right thing it still meant i was waiting for 4 hours for 10 minute visit
Waiting from 4 hours, try to to call from 1 hour, nobody answering my phone!
Benjamin had to attend a 92 year old car, it did not deter him, he sorted the electrical problem for me. I drove 70 miles home today.
Being kept informed of his arrival time was great. Arrival was brought forward by half an hour. James was a very friendly, jolly and sociable rescuer. He appeared very competent, informative and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. He got us up and running in no time. Felt good to be in the AA!!
Mohammed arrived very promptly & checked that the problem of failure to start the car was a battery that had come to the end of its life. He replaced the old battery within about 30 minutes. Terrific service and I am now mobile again. Mohammed explained the problem & solution very clearly; he is a very polite & knowledgeable man Full marks!
