Called them today and wow they were here in less than half an hour, to be fair I'm mechanically minded so had an idea, the technition who came out was pleasant and dealt with the problem professionally. Money well spent

On a recent call out on the M62 The lights were on as the car was on the hard shoulder. When he loaded the car the lights were still on as it was dark. I did not travel with the vehicle as he called me an ambulance as I was unwell. I did provide my home address. The lights were left on after unloading as were still on when retrieving the car 3 days later hence flat battery requiring replacement. In view of this I find the negligence unacceptable and this has cost me money for the replacement. I also am dismayed regarding the additional detail and confusion regarding the whereabouts of the car and keys.

Very sad to say that I have just left the AA to join anther service after almost fifty years. I have just got fed up with the annual inflated renewal request. Especially when I have a very low annual mileage and have not had reason to call anyone out for several years.

I work for a Company and one of the company car drivers cars broke down. The manufacturers breakdown assist uses AA as of their providers. They attended and it went from bad to worse. Firstly they were rude upon arrival, it took them 1 hour to load the car onto the recovery truck... why, I have no idea. The recovery man complained about essentially having to do his job from start to finish. The car was then taken for repairs, when my driver went to collect it, there was a huge dent in one of the doors. After months of going back and fourth with the AA and being asked repeatedly to provide photos and details of what happened, they refused to accept responsibility and my company has been left to pay the bill. I will be asking the lease company I work with to cancel their AA membership that my drivers use, and acquire a new membership for my 100 drivers to utilise moving forward to avoid any further costs to us for damages caused by the AA.

Took me 18 hours to get back from Preston to Surrey despite promises throughout the journey by the switchboard to say it would be faster ,I got so fed up waiting on the last leg of the journey as I suffer from Asthma and the dampness was severely getting to my chest I had to pay £150 to a private company to get me back the last leg of the journey .

We have been with the AA for twelve years and never had to call them out. Every year our cover is quoted at around 150 gbp for two person cover . Every year I phone them and it's reduced to 100 GBP or so. This year i didn't bother got other 2 person cover for 89 GBP. The AA sent a couple of reminders and then after it had expired a price reduction to 100 GBP. Not impressed got fed up contacting you every year for a realistic price The AA is relying on people to renew automatically. You have lost our custom now.

Broke down and advised that a lorry was needed as wishbone had broke so car un driveable or towable. They sent normal patrol that said I needed a lorry. !! They said it would be about an hour. No info given phoned again and was told it would be 9! Pm 6 hours after initial contact. Had to stay with car as on red route and in a black spot. They said they don’t have skate to get car into truck!!! A major company doesn’t have the correct equipment!!!! Don’t waste your money go with someone else. They just take your money and that’s it 6 hours to be recovered about 3 miles from home.

Have been an AA car insurance customer on and off for many years - they have always been very competitive, always near the top on comparison websites. Had to make a claim following an accident some six years ago. Everything was handled superbly well, with excellent, prompt service on all aspects throughout. Have no complaints at all.

If you’re happy to be lied to and sit on a dark road with no heat for 6 hours then join the AA I had to phone the police to help me in the end I was so cold after 6 hours of text messages promising help from the AA. I will never ever pay them again, for the money you may as well just pay a local garage direct yourself

I am utterly DISGUSTED by the service I’ve received from AA. If you want to wait 17+ hours in the freezing cold, with recovery trucks repeatedly cancelling on you, then take up a membership with AA. I’m so disappointed in how I’ve been treated, especially when I’m paying good money for my membership and have been loyal to AA for many years. They give all the talk with their deals and “benefits”, but when it comes to receiving the service you’re actually paying for then they can’t be bothered.

If only you could give a company 0 stars as they don't deserve any. My partner had an illness that advised she voluntarily hand in her driving licence to the DVLA for 6 months. She advised the AA of this and asked if she could keep the policy live so the car is insured on the drive way etc (basically less risk to them as not being used) - it took nearly 2 days for the underwriter to approve it. Just tried to re-add my partner to her own policy now that she has the all clear and its off to the underwriter again - no ability to contact anyone to speed it along as its with 'another company' and the AA are playing the 'we are only a broker' card. Funny thing is - the broker is called AA underwriting NM and they do not have a consumer facing phone number according to the AA. So basically, the AA (broker side) just happened to find the best deal for my partner with another AA owned company (AA underwriting NM) - which is un-contactable in the event you need to speak to them about YOUR policy with them (AA underwriting NM). All sounds a bit suspicious - thank god we weren't making a claim. Will definitely be moving away from the AA for car insurance.

It was an easy purchase, pain free. Haven't made a claim yet, but feel sure it would be handed well.

..not good, I have AA breakdown with my Halifax account as part of the benefits of paying £17 per month...to the Halifax... of which includes... holiday insurance... mobile phone insurance..etc This is probably the 5th time.. I've called them out.. asking for breakdown assistance.. and on 4x occasions out of the 5 times..during the past 2x years.. I've cancelled the service as the waiting time was absolutely ridiculous.. 2 hours plus... increasing by the hour.. wouldn't recommend them.. their TV Advertising.. 'within the hour' .. is misleading... bit of a con...
