I've been stranded twice in the last 3 weeks,with what has turned out to be the same problem,each time,many miles from home!. The RAC on each occasion has been brilliant,and the contracted out teams to get my car to the(same) garage and me back home ... excellent!!!!......I've been in the RAC for ever!!!, and not had any problems!! Of course,you can wait for some time,but hey, without them you could get really stuck!!!
