Breakdown Recovery

[gsmcoverage]

My car's 3yr warranty is up soon. Anyone use a breakdown recovery service? Has anyone used one and what was their experience?

Tks all

Hope I'm answering with the sort of info you want to know and aren't off on a tangent. I've been with the RAC for years. Haven't needed to use the recovery since I had a Citroen though. Response time was in the 30-45 minute range which is fine and car was hoisted away without damage.

I believe some people have had problems with Green Flag.

The AA Relay service because its exactly that. You get picked up, dragged off to their nearest regional centre, off-loaded, re-loaded onto another wagon, despatched to the next reional centre, off-loaded, re-loaded.... until you finally arrive home some time in the middle of next week.

I get AA cover as part of my bank account. Used it once on the bike and once with the Vette. Oh yeah, the wife used it when she filled the Vectra up with petrol instead of diesel. Just works like I am an AA member.

We now use the RAC, they seem really good. Keith had to request their help on the Isle of Man as our battery went flat (?) response time 20 mins. Would not use Green Flag after our experience with the 94 vette, breakdown in France + Green Flag = wrecked engine (finally resolved by them paying for a new crate motor) but it took a year to resolve!-

Thanks all I will probably look at the RAC as the option. Seems they know how to handle the Vet best against all the others.
