Tom, the AA mechanic was exceptionally thorough and helpful. And arrived so quickly too! Even dropped me back home once I had dropped my Jeep at my local garage.
Called the AA and they were with me within 15 minutes. Daniel was ace and sorted my car out & gave me advice on how to avoid future problems with my car. Very impressed with the service I received and it was so easy to call them out using the app.
Broke down in Camberwell which is very unfamiliar to me. Bleon turned up pretty much as soon as I got off the phone to the AA operative.

The patrol came out quickly to my home and picked up a starter motor on their way in case that was the part needed. It was needed and Travis Steer fitted the part and got the car back on the road. Over and above what was expected and really impressive service and high standard of work.
Luke was very friendly and quickly diagnosed the problem and rectified it.
Great Customer service 👏
Swift response and Antonio was naturally ‘a very nice man…’
Craig was excellent. He sorted my problem efficiently and advised me how to avoid getting a repeat of my flat battery. A very worthwhile visit and sorting my problem very quickly.
The AA’s App was simple, and easy to use including communicating our location. They were quick to respond (Approx. 30 mins from first contacting them to arriving at our location) including a call five minutes before arrival. They were polite, empathetic to the fact we had young children in the car, and helpful all the way through to leaving our car at our local trusted garage so it could be repaired. An excellent service and experience!
Once i navigated getting through to AA it ran smoothly. I phoned at 17.05 and was told someone would be with by 18.05. Then had a message to say AA on the way and arrived at 17.50.
