I am pleased with the fact that my vehicle was picked and returned back . However, I noticed my tire pressure was not checked and filled which was part of the checks. this leaves me with concerns that other parts were properly checked.

Friendly and accommodating
Great,very good.Thanks.
Staff very helpful
The service was good
The service was good, however, I wasn’t notified when they kept my car overnight. I was very worried as I was told the car will be returned on the same day.
Really easy to book through the AA app
Really easy to book through the AA app. Car picked up and returned, which meant I could use the service while at work. Good communication.
Good car service but lack of sufficient communication on this occasion
The booking process is simple and fast, there are a few options of service garages. I had requested that my car be collected which is very convenient as it is less disruptive to my work day.
On this occasion the garage had an issue and had contacted me to see if I could bring my car in,for which we arranged a time first thing in the morning.
Problem was in attempting to update the booking on their side, AA smart care ended up sending me a cancellation email the evening before my service was due. This happened without any attempts to contact me and since their phone lines only opened after my arrange service time, it left me in a position of stress for the whole evening and next morning (seeing as making a new booking would have gone beyond my MOT expiry date).
In the end I was able to get my service and AA smart care corrected their mistake. Can't complain about the car service and the price I received through AA smart care for MOT with a service was very reasonable.

It was quickly and professionally dealt with at our home.
Booking is easy but not good after that.
It was easy to book with good communication. However the garage that was used to carry out the MOT were not great at explaining what needed to be done and no offer to do the work required to get my car to pass the MOT. I found them to be abrupt and dismissive.
I have found a different place to use for repairs MOT recommended by a friend. I thought that I would be I good hands with the AA but that was not the case.
