I've been with Autoaid for years and had great service, but the wife's car had just had a problem and the repair guy says that the problem is more likely to recur than not. Autoaid only allows one call per specific problem so I need to change. Greeflag want £120 against £62 - any low cost suggestions please?

Why not just fix the fault so that it doesn't reoccur and stay with Autoaid?

That does seem the obvious solution OP!

Seems rather high. We use GreenFlag for our Transit camper and its £17 for the year + £42 for a call out.
The vans only 4years old and we've never had to use the service so can't comment on the quality of service though..

Doesn’t tell us what the car is, or what the issue is. Wants us to magic up the answers.
My guess is that the issue is embarrassingly cheap to fix but they want to cheapen themselves by relying on a service that really shouldn’t be used in this way.
The thought of being left at the side of the road, middle of the night, pouring rain, high winds, no phone signal… that’s why I have issues sorted and sorted properly.
