for one reason or another, never got around to arranging breakdown cover... (shame on me - and currently touching wood)

does anybody have any opinions on the above - good/bad/indifferent?

Thanks!

Am with the AA.

They're usually pretty good, turn up when they say they do, (unless busy), always been courteous, listened when I've told them "not to bother sending anyone to look at my car and agree with my diagnosis, just give me a flatbed truck", are quite willing to take me halfway round the country when I've broken down (I seem to have a knack of waiting until I'm at least 100 miles from home before breaking down... ) so all in all, a fairly good experience with them...

just tot hrow a spanner in the owrsk, so to speak, i'm with direct rescue (direct line).

the AA do offer loads of discounts on stuff though, so wifey is with them.

take a peek on the websites - (you only need towing off the motorway once, and its paid for itself!!)

plus, if you leave a broken down car on the side of the road near where i live, you'll end up with just a burned out body shell, after the local gippo gits have descended upon it.

would strongly advise some cover..!!!

I'm with the AA.

Only had to call them out once (not the sccob) and they were first rate.

Have heard a few bad reports about the RAC.

I'm sure RSGrant will tell you all...

I'm with the AA; thankfully I've not needed them myself for a few years, but they've been very good when Mrs C's motorbike has broken down.

They do an SIDC discount to, I believe.

Green flag through Tescos insurance. Find them great...dont try the old "you need a new... and ive got one in the van" routine!!

AA myself, used them a few times with previous cars fortunately never with the.... no not gonna say it, touch wood and all that.

Also they do a type of parts warranty. Its just over £40 for upto £500 cover.

You are only covered if you breakdown and are recovered by the AA, their usual service will take you to a garage anyway. The details are on their website.

I know £500 probably only buys a new *** lighter on the Scoob but you never know....
