AA Breakdown Cover reviews (199)

Totally useless!

When my daughter had a road traffic accident on the M5 she was told, “sorry we don’t come out to accidents, only breakdowns”. My son’s parked car was hit and left with the bumper hanging off. He was told, “sorry we can’t attend as the car is drivable”. Consequently, he drove a mile and the bumper fell off completely. Wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole! Reviewed on: 19th December 2020

No Stars - Appalling Help - Refused To Change A Faulty Battery

AA Job No - 3031 - On Date 20/11/2020 No Stars. This was the worst experience in all my years as a member of the AA, by a country mile and the first where the AA Representative attending refused or could not change over a faulty battery! The AA Representative stated a prior Medical Condition prevented him from replacing the failed battery with a new battery. Ergo, what is the point of a mechanic who cannot or will not change a car battery! The AA clearly states it carries spare batteries in their vans... Is this just for show! Hence, we were left to solve the urgent issue ourselves, with the car running and told not to switch it off, whilst the AA representative disappeared off into the distance. Thank you Kwik Fit for coming to our rescue and solving the issue. Appalling service from this AA representative. Again... No Stars! Reviewed on: 23rd November 2020

Very Good response time

I once broke down to a battery in my car breaking , AA were quick to get out to me (less than 30 mins) and were very helpful and replaced my battery for me, I Only had to pay for the battery. And they gave me nearly a month to pay for it or I could pay for it in chunks. I loved my time with AA. I'm no longer with them now as my new car insurance doesn't have a deal with them.
