The AA came very promptly and explained the situation clearly to me . Euan the AA engineer was extremely courteous and pleasant . I was reassured by his assessment of the battery and he quickly replaced the old battery with a new battery which now gives me peace of mind . as i have a long journey to the west next week

The AA patrol Martin

The AA patrol Martin, was excellent. He saw the problem and quickly dealt with it in a professional and courteous manner. Great asset to your company. Sadly the call handling procedure was overcomplicated. And very confusing. Press 1 for this 2 for that and went on and on. Dropped the call twice after I typed in various answers to there automated questions. It's not what you want when your probably in a stressful situation. I personally would prefer a reassuring calm human being rather than Mr Android. The text that they said would link to GPS on my mobile never came through. And wasn't necessary in my situation as the car was in my own drive. Quite safe. When my AA runs out I will certainly look to see if there callout procedure has improved any before I renew. Spoke to several friends today who all had similar takes to tell about the callout telephone experience. Please improve.Martin 10 out of 10 Thank You.

Help on obtaining a flat tyre…

I had the misfortune of suffering from a flat tyre. Unfortunatly, as with most modern day cars, no spare is provided. I contacted the AA for help and within the hour help had arrived.
On arrival the AA guy rang several tyre garages seeking assistance. Finally one was found about two miles away who could render immediate help. In next to no time he had whipped the wheel off and we were on our way. I suppose it was about another hour and we were back at my car with wheel fitted with a new tyre.
In all just under two hours from calling them out to me being on my way. Excellant service.

Roger turned up in under an hour

Roger turned up in under an hour, did an excellent job of fixing a large hole in my tire made by a bolt. He then followed behind me whilst I drove to a garage for a new tire. Brilliant service, made a bad situation as good as it could be.

Genuinely aa service is really good as always help as much as they can
But today unfortunately the guy (mark )
Who came to help was not in mood to help
He was only making excuses not to work
Came 1 hour late,then said made a excuse that I can’t find the tools as this is not my van ,then gone to grab tool which he even didn’t use ,as I feel he had no idea which tool he wanted,
Then he done some bits and bobs and came with another excuse that I can’t fix it as it’s locksmith’s job and connected me with some locksmith guys who was charging me extra and didn’t have idea when can they come,as nobody was helpful and it was frustrating
In end I made a harsh decision to break my window glass to open my locked car because my phone,purse,home keys basically everything was in the car and mark was just making excuses and wasting time
