“Left stranded for over 4 hours in a cold December evening. Made numerous calls and after waiting over two and a half hours was told the breakdown still hadn’t been assigned. When making the initial call I was very clear that the recess shredded and could not be repaired and that we did not have a spare. When speaking to the AA 3 hours later they told me that it was marked as a puncture and that I had a spare. I made it very clear that the tyre couldn’t be repaired and that I would need a recovery vehicle to which I was told that they had to send a patrol no matter what and that a recovery vehicle would take another 4 hours. I was also given different versions of how long I’d need to wait told there where no AA vehicles and various other inconsistencies depending on who I spoke to on the phone. Terrible service. Terrible customer service. If you break down with the AA you have to be vulnerable or on a motorway for them ti do anything like their 40 minute supposed call out time. Absolute disgrace!!”

“Alternator kaput, so lost all battery power. AA got to me in about 90 minutes but kept me updated on their progress in reaching me. James was excellent, quickly diagnosed issue and charged battery enough for me to get it started and drive the short distance home - with him following to make sure i made it ok. No complaints whatsoever.”

“AA should stand for AVOID AVOID. I filled in an online membership application. Gave them my vehicle reg etc. Set up the direct debit. Congratulations on being a member No 6356011542439785 The very next day, 45 miles from home my clutch went. I needed to be towed home. I was told I had to pay £ 150 as I wasn't a member for a full 24 hours. What a con. The first recovery truck from Bennets turned up. When told my address was 45 miles away. He said it was too far and left. He didn't tell the AA he left me. I had to make another request for help. The AA man Russell towed me home. Very professional and efficient. The whole experience took 7 hours. The fact Bennets just drove off was shocking. Also the £150 charge I had to pay as I claimed within 24 hours. My first breakdown in 40 years. AA = AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID”

“Absolute rubbish. Initially had to wait 4 1/2 hours but unable to repair car. Then told the car would be moved but could take a further 48 hours. In meantime police (who had been very patient to this point) contacted emergency removal due to chaos car would have caused to morning traffic. This cost me additional £200. Find an alternative to AA if you possibly can. All the bad reviews I have subsequently read are accurate in my experience.”

“1st time I broke down, I informed them that my clutch pedal on my transit was broke and could not be fixed roadside but they insisted on sending a repair van. Waited 3 hrs for him to say in 10secs it need a recovery. Then a further 5 hours before the lorry arrived. It's now happened again. Broke down at 4:50pm didn't get a van hear until 8:20. Now waiting for a recovery lorry due to get here at 12:35am. An absolutely appalling company, service is not fit for purpose.”

“Have asked for membership cards several times over the past 5 or 6 weeks. Always told they were sent, of course they never arrive. Customer service is slow and does not resolve anything.”

“After 12h night shift work, my spring coil snapped on my way home. Called AA and they arranged patrol to arrive within 3hours. Although its a long wait, it did arrived earlier than expected. The guy who give a temporary fix was very kind and let me stay in his van for comfort while he's working away his magic. Then, my car was slowly driven to the nearest garage followed by AA van. When we arrived at the garage, AA guy went to speak to the garage about my car problem. Its all sorted. This happened around Stirlingshire, Scotland. Second time happened when we required AA, we were at the highlands. Again, quick respond and we're happy with the service. Will continue to use AA because we travel and explore Scotland outdoor a lot.”

“Id give 0 stars if I could. We broke down at 9pm with 2 small children one of which was not well. The AA took 2 hours to recover us to the first service station a further 5 hours to take us halfway home because they would exceed theyr daily driving limit to take us all the way and then another 4 hours for the next one. A complete disgrace. We didn't get home until close to 11am the next day. I'm leaving the AA they don't give 2 hoots about theyr customers.”
