    Thank for all the replies. I'm going to phone the suggestions and ask.

    And if anyone thinks I'm racist. I'm not. But when you pay £400 a year and you're stood at the side of the road at 5am I need someone I can understand and hear. Who can take control of the situation, not leave me to drive home is a broken car and sort the mess out myself by dealing with the garage directly, wasting my whole morning on the phone doing what they're paid for. I don't appreciate being put through to call centres with poor quality phone lines, having to repeat myself 6 times and asking them to repeat themselves 6 times to hear the reply.
    A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.
