Pretty much the same could be said for O2

Disillusioned employee perhaps?

But to ME the AA have been nothing but helpful. So I think I will stick with them.

I don't work for them, so I am not too fussed.

Agreed.

I've been a member for around 15 years and called thme out a few times. Never been anything but top notch for me.
When they couldn't attend to my car on the M74 it was a local mechanic working under some agreement with them.

On every occasion (3 if i remember correctly) they've had me driving again within an hour.
My problems were

• broken earth strap which resulted in the clutch cable melting. both replaced at the roadside after taking me to the local dealer.

• Repairing a ruptured fuel line on the motorway (independent mechanic)

• Wheel nuts on too tight on my brother's car and AA man needed scaffolding pole as a lever.

I'd not hesitate in recommending them to be honest - and I'm not an emplyee either!

I've just checked Wikipedia and apparently the OFFICIAL fourth emergency service is Dan Petrescu, formerly of Chelsea .

Have you got his mobile number in case I break down on the M25?

I think he's back in Romania at the moment so it could take him a while to get there. To be fair though he could probably still be there quicker than the RAC took to get to me the last time I used them:rolleyes: .

Why not change your name to "disgruntled previous AA staff member"


The AA are wonderful in my opinion, but im guessing we will never never see the OP again!
