    AutoAid just send a recovery truck; they don't try fixing anything like the AA and RAC do.

    Not according to their policy


    They sound just like the AA and RAC!

    We will arrange and pay call-out fees and labour charges to repair the vehicle at the roadside and so allow your journey to continue......

    Had a flat tyre on busy dual carriageway in rush hour, Auto Aid guy turned up in 30 minutes and fitted my compact spare no charges and the guy on the phone was very good, renewal was a couple of weeks later and no increase still £43.

    One thing worth double-checking about any of the pay-and-reclaim services is the maximum they'll repay. I went with GEM's pay-and-reclaim, and needed to get the car moved from home to the nearest big town, after it jumped a tooth on the cambelt when starting. The fee was about £20 more than their maximum "home start" claim limit. That's much more than the extra premium for a "normal" package.

    AutoAid were straight out for me, solely because of their 19th century attitude to relationships.
