Review of the RAC, Breakdown Cover:

AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Avoid AVOID!

Awful Customer Service I installed new front brake disks and brake pads. The disks were warped and they were causing the car to vibrate when braking at high speeds. One of the new brake pads sensors was not installed properly and it fell out. Everytime you phone RAC, the operators will say that they are waiting on managament team. I called so many times and always they keep saying that I will get a call back and I never did. After I left a complaint, they came and checked it, and said that the brakes are fine. The problem is that they only vibrate at high speeds so obviously, them testing it for 5 minutes on a residential area with 20mph speed limit won't prove anything. They charged me a refundable £75 and told me to do the wheel balance and if that does not help, they will give me the money back and get another booking. Well I did it and it changed nothing and guess what when I called to tell them, they keep saying that they are waiting for management team to approve it again and I am getting nowhere. Because I mostly drive the car around the town I can put up with the vibrations, which are not an issue at slow speeds but here I am 6 months later, with the same brakes and no one coming to check them. They completely ignored the online complaints and only called me one time when I was at work and got no follow up emails or messages. So if something goes wrong, don't expect much, their 12 months warranty is useless. Tried to save some money by not losing a day of work to go change the brake disks myself and in the end I lost another day of work, the "refundable" £75 and more money on the useless wheel balance.
