What to do if you break down

We offer a range of services – not only do we provide roadside recovery options, we can also come to your home if you break down (Home Start).

As well as being the UK's biggest breakdown organisation, we also offer car advice and tips on what to do if your car breaks down. No wonder over 90% of members who've used our breakdown service would recommend the AA.

The AA aims to fix car breakdowns at the roadside

Each AA roadside patrol:

  • carries more car parts = we fix a high percentage of roadside breakdowns
  • is experienced – each patrol attends over 1,000 car breakdowns a year
  • carries hi-tech fault-finding technology
  • is continually trained to deliver exceptional breakdown services

Avoid a festive breakdown

As well as offering you the reassurance that comes with AA Breakdown Cover, here are a few tips to help you avoid a breakdown during the festive season.

What everyone should know about AA Breakdown Cover

Personal AA Membership covers you – not just your car.

The AA has been rescuing Britain's motorists for over 100 years.

As well as car breakdown cover, we provide breakdown assistance for motorcycles, vans and minibuses.

Parts and labour – Breakdown Repair Cover

Following a breakdown attended by the AA, your car, van or motorcycle may need replacement parts and even garage labour, which can be expensive. AA members can take out breakdown repair cover, which can help to cover the costs. More about breakdown repair cover.
