I applied to join the AA breakdown on the 10th of this month. I received

today, is this normal from them?



If so how good is their recovery?

In the last 3 years

Flat battery at home Sunday evening. Battery replaced with 2 hours (did
tell them I was not going anywhere that night but needed the van on
Monday morning)

Flat battery (different van) Friday 5pm near J38 of A1. Battery replaced
less than 15 minutes after the call

Diesel pump failure on a Thursday afternoon. On tow within the hour.

New diesel pump set on fire Saturday afternoon. On tow within the hour

Would not start later in the week. The new new diesel pump had a loose
connection. Fixed within the hour

CV joint failed Monday Morning at 6am. On tow by 7am

Replacement CV joint failed on Ponds Forge roundabout mid day mid week
in the snow. There within 30 minutes. It took ages due to the snow and
where I pulled up to actually get on tow. But he was a star.

EGV failed on St Georges Bridge in morning rush hour. On tow within the
hour. Although the queues I caused on the bridge into Doncaster held him up.


And 4 years ago a non van one - Gf spun her car on A64 on a Bank Holiday
Monday and knocked the tyre off the rim and we could not get the wheel
off (two other cars also spun of the road within 5 minutes).
Subcontractor there within 15 minutes (I classed that one as vulnerable
when I called them).

Number of times I have called them out for my vehicles in 30 years?

Twice.
