my car has never broken down once in 12 months ..and i payed £120 for it aa membership

it passed the mot after 12 months with a head light beam fault .as i changed the lights to morretes

the cars.. k reg 13 year old 4*4 cosworth and i feel i have been robbed..

should i ring the old owner and complain about the above

Unreliable cosworths why buy the fookin things

 

i pay £59 through my insurance company....guarantee to be with me within the hour..

not worth joining AA or RAC IMO

 

bud-weis

have they got a lo loader. pick up anywhere in the uk option

i think £120 is expensive ..but if they carnt fix my car..i can get it dropped off to a garage of my choice.and a hire car for 3 days paid for by them or a hotel if too far away from home ..

just thinking before i pay..seems a good deal but have yet to use it ..FAMOUS WORDS shot down in shame..watch this space

thing is its the age of the car. with most companys over 10 years and aa was fine with me..

 

they basically contact the nearest recovery firm to my location, then foot the bill....so as long as i stipulate i need a low loader, i reckon it'd be fine.


not sure about the finer details....but recovery is enough for me

 

I'm with the AA and although my car hasn't broken down (don't drive it ) I've made significant savings on airport car parking on 2 occasions this year & they added my wife's car for a quid a month.

 

My AA road side and relay costs me £98 for me and my wife. Its peice of mind when driving long distance

cheers all for the replys

 

some banks offer free breakdown recovery through different companies like AA and RAC etc, ask your bank if they offer this service

 

relay
roadside
homestart
all for £112
through the aa

 

also ask them, if your car was involved in an accident and it wasnt drivable, can they at least tow you home!?

 

Ive had aa membership since I got my license 4 years ago and nearly sacked it in. In the lat year Ive had 2 500 mile relay trips due to a fucked alt and then a headgasket, and then on a run south in a mates dodgy van i called them out twice in one day. For those trips alone its been WELL worth the money!

 

dojj

sozz i got a error when i posted the reply

the actual cover adds up to £128.00

roadside £48.00
relay £45.00
stay mobile(formally relay plus) £35.00

with 3 days hire car cover.if all goes tits up its not that bad a deal for the age of the car.and a low loader on call if needed..

 

i've been a meber since 97 so i got an upgrade from my £88 a year for roadside and relay

funnily enough, i've not had to use it on anything other than my sierra, and when that was off the road everything else had been fine and dandy
