I,ve just experienced the worst ever breakdown service with the AA in my 49years of driving. Broke down on the Thursday 15th August and arranged a 2 hr slot between 9-00am to 11-00am the next day to get home from Wales. Rang services at 11-30am because no recovery van turned up, informed new time slot 12-45pm. No recovery van turned up changed to 13-40pm Rang services recovery van 20 mins away. No recovery van turned up changed to 14-30pm No recovery van turned up changed to 15-25pm Rang services was told recovery just a short distance away No recovery van turned up changed to 15-35 No recovery van turned up and the text messages stopped. Waited over 8 hrs and had to get help from a mobile mechanic. I believe a recovery van turned up almost 9 hours after the initial time. AA is not a service its a complete disaster of an experience and is dysfuntional.
