Thumbs up

Can anyone recommend a decent recovery company cos Subaru Assist freebie finishes next month.

Need the following:
1) Roadside
2) Flatbed recovery
3) European cover (without the Nurburgring area exclusions)

Any free goodies are a bonus (preferably better than a pen)

Cheers.....

how would you find out about Subaru Assist?

just to add - if you're a LloydsTSB customer I think you can upgrade your account and get free cover from the AA.

I think Mr Felstead took the Lloyds TSB option with the AA, and wished he never had, when his car suffered major problems in August.

The best one i have seen operate is the full cover from Greenflag.

Be carefull because, whilst they may offer roadside assistance or homestart, they often have limited mileage hidden in the clause, so subsequently you end up pay £1 per mile over the milage stated in the contract, and thats not just one way

You want full cover that will take you from where you are to where you want to be.

There are two levels of cover to suit your needs.

1. Subaru Assistance – UK coverage - £60.00 per year
2. Subaru Assistance Plus – European Cover – £75.00 per year
(same as UK coverage but includes vehicle repatriation from Europe, and parts delivery in Europe.)
To obtain instant Subaru Assistance cover, simply call

020 8666 9250
with your credit card or debit card details.


Please note that Subaru Assistance is only available for vehicles that were originally purchased from a Subaru (UK) Ltd official franchised dealer.

Some rotten so and so's upgrade to homestart for free, by registering the main address with someone far away!

I used to be with the CSMA, they were quite good.

I'm with these:-

Very competetive prices - but never had to call 'em out yet.

I came across them in Motorcycle News.

Cheers,

Ian.
