Good professional service - best prices are for new customers / through Tesco vouchers/

The RAC as you'd expect has a good level of service. When I needed them broken down on the motorway, they arrived promptly, repaired the car quickly and gave good advice on what to ask my local garage to do. In some ways frustratingly, you can get great deals as a new customer - especially if you're familiar with topcashback or quidco. Subsequent years' deals aren't so good. You can play this system slightly by changing each year (say to and fro with the AA). If you have enough Tesco Clubcard vouchers you can also get discounts year on year though. (Look at their Clubcard Boost section online). Reviewed on: 16th August 2015

Broken down even for a flat tire.

I was driving to work one morning and my car shuddered and slowed to 5mph. I managed to get to work and the RAC came out straightaway. They were very helpful and polite and the guy did a thorough inspection of the car whilst he tried to repair the problem. He spent, what i felt was a good amount of time on the car. This is the 4th time i have had to use them and would always recommend them over others. Reviewed on: 26th March 2015
