Review of the AA, Breakdown Cover:

View on product page

My daughter's car would not start in the driveway.

My daughter's car would not start in the driveway. Called AA. As the driver got out of the van, before he looked at the car, he offered to sell a new battery and he offered 2 more times before he left! He could only offer a jumpstart. He was clearly not a mechanic and did not have a diagnostic computer. He could not fix the issue. He could not diagnose the issue. He could not tow the car to the garage 7km away because they 'do not tow after 5 pm', He refused to jumpstart the car and follow it while my daughter drove to the garage. He would not request a flatbed truck from AA dispatch to take the car to the garage. He closed the callout and left having done nothing. I logged another call the following day and a mechanic lifted the bonnet, said you have a loose connection on the battery and resolved the issue within 5 minutes. Please note that in Ireland at the moment the AA are advertising for "drivers" not mechanics, while their website says all AA patrols are mechanics. SCAM!!!! Reviewed on: 18th June 2025
