“I recently took out car insurance. A deposit was taken which is fine. I called to cancel my policy within the 14 day cooling off period to be advised there would be an outstanding balance to pay. How can there be a balance to pay when I have already paid a deposit and then cancelled within 14 day's. I then look at my bank account and a transaction by AA has been taken out of my original payment card. This was the first time I have used this company and will be the last. Complete robbery...”

“The worst and dumbest company on the planet. First of all, the system is a nightmare, they don\'t have any email address, when you upload your documents its a dumb process. When you call them about the claim, it\'s the same like you are speaking with a robot.For 3 weeks I try to made this application for a loan, they never try to help me with a proper advice, and after all this time they said they need to cancel my loan because my name on passport its not on the same order with my name in other documents. Its the same name you dumb idiots. Useless people, useless system. I hope aa you go bankrupt. I will write a review each day, every day and I hope people will never chose this rubbish company. Have a lovely day AA.”

“My husband was left for 5 hours from 10pm in minus temperatures last night .with a non repairable puncture, in a stupid new car with no spare... (another brilliant car manufacturer money saving idea I expect )After 2am a non AA van came (having first been sent to completely the wrong address across town by AA call centre) only to say he couldn't fix, but AA would not relay. They made noises about a tyre servicing van in the area which never materialised...finally At 3am (5hrs after first call) He was told to notify police where the car was, and to get a cab home....£70, and I'm not holding my breath on a refund....and they assured him someone had been booked to help between 11 and 12. Am. He arrived home at 5 am, and had to find a way back to the car (over 50 miles) by 11am. No offer of a cab back! I drove him since he had only 3 hrs sleep, and he rung on the way...nothing was on record as being booked. Got to car, took wheel off...no one came, so took wheel to garage for new tyre....no one came...eventually sorted the car on our own, 14hrs after he has first requested help, ironically using an x-AA van to get there, take tyre to garage etc. Will be cancelling after over 20 yrs, and putting in a formal complaint and request for full refund. .....when We've both calmed down a bit! We now know AA have sold off almost all their vans and recovery lorries, to try and save money.....and surprise surprise, are no longer reliable, in fact pitiful service with incompetent call centre...and don't get me started about having to ring every year when I get the letter saying the price has pretty much doubled....nasty trick.”

“Recently my policy has been cancelled for not paying £36 but I received a letter over a month ago to pay additional £36, which I phoned and tried to make a payment but the person on customer service said that I don’t have to make any payment as there is not any outstanding payment on my policy. I tried to call customer service the whole day trying to resolve this issue but The AA customer service is just too DISGRACEFUL!. I even tried to speak to the manager but she was so rude it's unbelievable. I asked her I want to make a complaint about what happened to me on this policy. My policy started on 29/11/2017 with a premium of £824.30 and they are saying we are not going to refund any money back to me on cancellation of my policy (THIS IS JUST DAYLIGHT ROBBERY). Who would want their policy to get cancelled for paying JUST £36 and let £824.30 go to waste?? I tried to phone on this 0344 412 4684 like over a month ago as well as The Co-operative insurer to make a payment of £36 which that asked me to pay for my policy but the individuals at both party I spoke to said that I don’t have any outstanding balance on my policy. THEY ARE THIEFS!!”

“read well the T&C as once you have taken up a cover, you can't cancel it and get a refund (like you do with all Insurances). You only have 14 days from signing up. That could not be right. Please ditch this unfair practice. Thanks”

“called A.A. out to a flat battery at home on a Wednesday morning. Very pleasant guy came, did his tests and said battery was done. he had a battery he could fit there and then which was £144. given the alternative of going to buy one in a car with a duff battery i told him to fit it. later that day i searched the net for the battery which came in as low as £55 but averaged £75. at this point i looked on the A.A web site and found that if i rang and ordered one it would cost £120 delivered and fitted. i spent 18 minutes on the phone without speaking to anyone and gave up and sent an email. the only real issue i could complain about is the £24 difference. after a month i got the scripted response every one does ending "This is the final response to your complaint, and we won' t be changing our decision, but if you do want to discuss your complaint please contact us directly" I wont be using the A.A again. P,S 2 days later, Friday night, driving home with a glowing battery light. got home and couldn't restart the car. called the A.A another pleasant guy came out and diagnosed the alternator was faulty. feel free to draw your own conclusion. i didn't bother to contact the A.A as i had read similar experiences reviewed and was expecting this outcome”

“I've had multiple call outs Web the AA over 5 years of membership, the service guys have been good and friendly. But the wait for them to arrive is consistently 2-5 hrs. At to the fact when I went to cancel my membership one month in to a renewal cycle no refund was given and they kept £140 for a service no longer needed.they are also expensive. On the basis of their policies and poor customer service ican only give them one star”

“Worst customer service I have ever seen in any company, was kept on hold for 1 hour and had the advisor answer the phone say he couldn't hear me, I said can you hear me know to which he replied nope and put the phone down on me. Other operators were useless, couldn't care less, obviously undertrained and very rude. Very unprofessional. Avoid this company like the plague !!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“"I have been a gold member with AA for 18 years and they lost a panel in my Car. I contacted them as soon as i realised the part was not put back. The department i spoke to then proceeded to tell me I was a liar as they had spoken to the member of staff who said he had put the panel back. I stressed to them that I would not lie about a small plastic panel and also informed them that their staff who came to assess the vehicle did so at night and could have left it in his vehicle. Regardless, it has been 10 weeks with no resolution... I find it shocking that they do not value my loyalty or calculate the 18 years of membership i have paid and pay the £97 to replace the panel their staff lost. I will never recommend AA and will be canceling all the memberships I and my family hold with them. I would urge anyone considering to sign up with them to AVOID AVOID AVOID!!”
