“Have been an AA member for 43 years having breakdown cover. I thought I would give motor insurance a try, worst thing i ever did, they were not prepared to make one phone call to my existing company to prove NCD, so cancelled my policy. needless to say they lost my policy & my wifes breakdown policy - 43 years loyalty? No explanation or why you leaving.”

“I'm still stuck by the roadside. I've been here 4 hours now and been told it will take another hour and a half. Appalling service. Over 5 hours isn't good enough. Any other breakdown service would be better than this.”

“I had broken down with 2 children late at night on a unlit street 20 mins to get through ... I was told one hour untill the patrol arrived then 2 mins before the car was due I was told it was now another 2 hours before I got assistance with this in mind I called a taxi in anticipation of abandoning the car for the evening the taxi cost £40 as I arrived home I then had a text to say the AA was 10 mins away”

“I haven't made a claim. The one disappointment with this policy is that (only) when I came to pay it added an automatic renewal clause, which means that I will need to make sure I cancel it if I decide not to renew.”

“Appalling service if that's what anyone would even call it. Car broke down so got a £99 charge for a call out. They had the wrong location 3 times even though I confirmed the location several times as I had 3 young kids in the car. When I downloaded the app to track how long they would take it said I had moved from the location they were coming to recover the vehicle. I then phoned back to which the incompetent call handler stated sometime the app just says that don't worry. The aa then drive down the other side of the road and I got a call saying he was on his way to a different job but the main office have the wrong location from where we were. I phoned back to change the location again only to be told the vehicle they had sent out was not only going to the wrong location but wasnt a suitable vehicle for the job as I needed towed. Eventually a different vehicle recovery came out sent by the AA. The driver was foreign and extremely ignorant. He towed the car 4 minutes around the corner to the nearest car garage and went to drive off when the mechanic came running out of the garage asking him what he was doing and he couldn't just drop of a vehicle with a family and not even let them know what the issue was never mind no previous communication with him to see of he had time to look at the car- which he didn't. He then continued to have a heated argument with the garage owner in front of my 3 young kids. I am absolutely appalled by their so called service, incompetent call handlers and arrogant useless drivers they sub in. A minus 5 star rating would be more suited to this company”

“More than doubled my subscription to £28.00 two years running. I can join the RAC for £14.00 and same cover. The AA are not interested in loyal customers and are quite happy for you to leave if they can't rip you off after the 1st year. They are obsessed with new business to the exclusion of everything. Now I have issues with leaving, because they don't read emails for 5 working days or 6 in my case, which makes any dialogue impossible and trying to get through to Customer Services by phone is like trying to call Theresa May on a Sunday! I have stopped my direct debit and informed them but they are still trying to pull money from my account. Altogether, they are not the professional AA I knew. I won't be going back ever!”

“My parked vehicle was involved in an accident at around 10.30pm. The AA arrived at around 5am to tow me home. Appalling service and they expected me to accept £20 by way of apology. I tore up the cheque”

“AVOID THIS COMPANY”

“As I write it is near midnight. I'm waiting for an urgent recovery phoned in at 6.20pm. I explained clearly that my motorbike was unsafe to ride and I needed recovery. 2 hours later someone who knew nothing about bikes turned up, without a recovery van. I used my own tools and had to show him where the battery was. He couldn't even get it off its stand. Recovery was initially estimated another 2 hours later, and this was then moved to 5am the following day!! Despite calls to the AA letting them know I was a woman on my own, in the dark and did not feel safe. Several phone calls later this estimate was moved to 11pm. Eventually I abandoned the bike, leaving keys to be collected. Some other idiot has just turned up at the breakdown site and says he can't load the bike onto the trailer. I've just been told the new estimate is 48 hours, because I'm not with the bike now, despite being advised to leave it for my own safety and being assured it would be recovered by 11pm. So, after hours of shifting estimates which meant I had to stay with the vehicle, without water, a toilet and a dwindling phone battery, my bike is now left, keys under the tank on a dangerous and busy road and it may or may not turn up sometime over the next two days. Incompetence does not even begin to describe this bunch of clowns. None of them care or communicate with each other, so each person you deal with is worse than useless and disdainful in their indifference. I was not told when requesting recovery that they would not send a recovery van. I was lied to about estimates. I was not told that leaving would mean possibly waiting a further 48 hours. I was told they had prioritised and outsourced the job as I was in a vulnerable position. That too was a lie. To pay for something called a service, which does you the disservice of causing undue stress, wasting your time and complicating the situation at every turn, is an insult and a theft. Things only got worse. Following a call for urgent recovery at 18.20 my motorbike was eventually dumped on the pavement outside my house, with no phone call, at 5am the next day! The top box was left not just unlocked but open, with a £200 helmet inside and the keys left with the bike without my permission. I had to push the bike to the nearest bay and start all over agin to get it recovered to a garage. I had to push it myself to a bike bay. I am still waiting for recovery. Surprise surprise, the estimates keep shifting...here we go again.”
