Big thank-you to Dennis

I want to say a big thank-you to Dennis for his reassuring expertise and professionalism in handling my breakdown on the A34 a couple of miles north of the M4 interchange on Friday 19 June.

It was incredibly hot and he showed every consideration for my safety and comfort. It was important in the circumstances that he was allowed to get me home with my car himself. The clutch had to be replaced.

The best

Neil is probably the best example of a member of staff that is directly face2face with your customer.
Neil was polite, resourceful, professional and a nice guy.

Jack was calm , checked where a new tyre could be found and took us to the garage . The review is so good … not just because he did his job… but he was genuinely empathetic , clear headed , offered solutions and took away a lot of the stress

Very reassuring

The online booking and tracker worked well. Israel was very knowledgable, helpful and friendly. He was also efficient, thorough and clear. He arrived earlier than predicted and did a great job despite the heat.

Brake problems

Brake problems. Support was quickly on the scene and then tailed me 50 miles back home to make sure I was ok. Very pleased with the service.

An Hour Just to Cancel? Not Good Enough

I have been with the AA for years, but my latest experience has completely changed my opinion of the company.

My renewal increased from £78 to £198, which was enough for me to decide it was time to cancel. What I wasn't prepared for was just how difficult the AA would make that process.

What should have been a simple cancellation turned into well over an hour of being sent from one place to another. I was directed to different departments, pushed between online and phone support, had live chats mysteriously end, and constantly felt like I was being steered away from actually cancelling. Instead of respecting my decision, the whole process seemed designed to make me give up through frustration.

It immediately reminded me of the recent £28 million fine imposed on Virgin Media following concerns about the way customers were treated when trying to cancel. Whether intentional or not, the experience felt very similar. Companies should never make cancelling so difficult that customers feel trapped or worn down into staying.

The huge price increase was disappointing, but the cancellation process was by far the worst part of the experience. If a company is confident in its service and pricing, it shouldn't need to put barriers in the way of customers who choose to leave. Joining is quick and easy—leaving should be too.

Sadly, based on this experience, I can't recommend the AA.

I shall be phoning head office in Basingstoke early next week to make an official complaint !!!!
