landrover598 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I won't use RAC again, took them 3 and a half hours to get to me at 7 Sisters, even though they sent out a local recovery company . The driver said the garage had only been contacted about 35/40 minutes before he arrived Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Used to use Green flag which I found very good but I have been told there not as good as before but Brittania are very good and the same as Green flag used to be before Dirct line bought them. way better than AA or RAC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I've been with the RAC for about 8 years, always been brilliant for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 AA for me, always arrived within the time given. RAC are putting their own transporters into service, look out for lots of RAC Orange trucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy996 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I've been a member of the RAC for 17 years and have always had good service until recently. I originally joined when you still got a discount for being a member of the MSA, these days it is via the Morgan Sports Car Club. Last call out was a broken fan belt and no tools in the Land Rover. Snotty cow on the telephone said I would need to be recovered, 8:30pm, as they wouldn't fit my fan belt. RAC patrolman said he'd fit my belt happily - much better than a recovery.

Fatboy Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 The AA themselves seem fine to me on the occasion when I've had to use them... its their sub-contractors which let you down. My LSE blew its heater matrix apart on a long tow up a long hill (Corgarff) towing the trailer and spewed the inventory of its radiator out over the carpets so it must have been almost completely empty. The sub-contractor took 4hrs to get there and then parked his flatbed on the other side of the road, facing the other way and told me he would drive the car up, turn round (with trailer) and onto the lorry.... When I pointed out that there was no water in it / alloy block / 4.2 prone to overheat damage etc, he gave me the "look sonny, I've been working with these engines for longer than you've been in long trousers..." speech. It turned into quite a nasty little conversation but in the end, the Rangie was winched on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gromit Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 No taxi subscription, just a large tool chest in the back. Think if I was commuting in the 110 I might sign up. Was a member of the AA while I had my 306. They were good the 2 times I had to call them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
