“AA responded to my breakdown (burst tyre) after 3 hrs (it was not AA van but a garage). They said they could drive me 10 miles closer to home to a safer place only. They left my car in a service station in a space that said 'maximum 2 hour stay' and left me there. Not near a garage at all. As a single woman with health issues I did not feel safe. The AA rang me and we got cut off due to signal as I was in the middle of nowhere and they said I had hung up!”

“This company will make you wait,on your own, for hours and hours to be recovered by a lorry. God forbid you ever breakdown because you'll be left stranded. Terrible service.”

“I took my insurance policy out with the AA in September. I rang today to add a driver for 2 months as I was going to Australia and wanted to keep my car running. I was told that I could only have my friend on for 28 days. I said that was ridiculous as I had been with a previous company and had an additional driver for 6 months whilst volunteering in Israel and at no extra cost. She kept me waiting on the phone for ages (the call was then came back saying yes only 28 days. So I said okay I'll do it for the middle of the 2 months. I can't do that she said. After being quite angry with her she then said oh okay I'll do that! Then told me it was going to be £89! . For 28 days! I said I've only paid £129 for the whole year. In the end I just ended up hanging up after telling her to take my auto renewal off as I certainly will not be having them for insurance ever again. Terrible and I'm really quite shocked as they cover for 90 days in Europe and that's standard and free. Absolutely abysmal AA”

“In an already stressful situation (returning from holiday to find car not working at airport parking) AA entirely useless and massively added to stress. Waited for answer on phone for 20 mins where I was repeatedly advised to use the AA. Ap. Eventually gave up and downloaded Ap only to be put back in waiting queue on phone. 21 years of AA. So called gold member! I have used the service very infrequently but I had the same experience last time. Just waited and waited on the phone. Utterly unacceptable. I will cancel membership as soon as I can bear to contact them. Please do not provide a stock response AA. It adds insult to injury. Ps I never got through. Had to sort it out myself.”

“I made a complaint about the AA earlier this year. I was all hot and angry at the time. Although everything I said at the time was correct, I should have waited until I calmed down before complaining. The AA were very good at dealing with my complaint and handled it quickly and professionally. Everyone has a bad day at the office and the AA are no different. My apologies to the AA for my very angry complaint. Thankyou Steve Wadsworth.”

“Absolutely appalling service. Never seen or heard anything like it. Broke down at 8:30, got recovered to a service station 5 minutes up the road where they dropped me in 10 degrees temperature. I then waited 3.5 hours for another recovery to take me 40 minutes (40 miles) down the the M4 to have me put on another recovery truck! At this point being 3am I requested for a taxi to be booked and the car to carry on playing pass the parcel! They then took over 1 hour to arrange a taxi to take me home. From the start the string of lies (this recovery truck will be taking you home) but really it was taking me 17 minutes to the next service station. At this point I began to wonder how many more recovery trucks will I be put on before I arrive home? 12 hours maybe more? Worst recovery company I have ever come across, this isn’t the first bad experience from the AA. None of their own drivers 100’s of external companies they seem to be splitting 1 job into. Seems they couldn’t care less about their customers, no consideration to the time or weather. I will be taking matters further after this disgusting experience. I would for sure never trust them again ever and be cancelling my membership with immediate effect and demanding my costs back.”

“Unbelievable. I took out a membership mid Sept. New package didn't arrive - sent back apparently. Called to enquire 10th Oct. Not resent until the 19th. Still not arrived (31st today) Rang and asked about a tracking number - don't have one....being sent cheapest way possible. 1 1/2 hrs drive from Auckland......suggest they courier new packages and cards; this is unacceptable”

“After applying for employment with AA and receiving an email last Thursday to say I'd been successful in gaining a telephone interview at 8.30am on the 17th Oct, I then received an email at approx 8.10am on the 17th Oct stating my application wouldn't be being taken any further as I had applied for the same role within a six month period. I did declare this on my current application. The fact I have had to re arrange my work schedule, take time out to prepare for the interview and to then be notified 20 mins before the interview that I wouldn't be being considered I find absolutely disgraceful and disrespectful and a complete lack of communication on the AA's part. Date of experience: 17 October 2022”

“We had wonderful service from AA man Simon when we broke down in Stamford on 4 October 2022. He was extremely efficient and pleasant and solved the problem very quickly at the roadside. As there was a possibility that the engine might have been damaged by lack of oil, he followed our restart for a considerable distance to make sure all was well. Absolutely excellent service. Totally recommend.”

“On holiday in Cornwall and broke down in the middle of nowhere, halfway up a steep narrow country Lane. Spoke to operator who had a lot of patience trying to find out where we was. We could only say where we was travelling to. She asked a series of questions which are obviously standard but very much needed. The mechanic was with us 50 minutes later. Nice friendly chap. We was lucky it was a spark plug issue. All 4 plugs replaced and we was on our way. Only downside was the cost of the plugs at £138. We was very impressed .”

“Called twice and both times the attitude of the agents made me feel worse than the situation I was in. I am told I will have to wait about 3 hours although it js a Sunday morning Always buy your own breakdown instead of going through halifax”
