"The AA made the school run a pleasure"

#ithappenedtome

"I often drive my eight-year-old daughter to school on my way to work. Although it’s a relatively short distance from home, it does give us a few extra minutes together on weekdays.

"One morning we went to get into the car when I saw that it had a puncture. With only 15 minutes before her first lesson, I didn’t have the time or, to be honest, the confidence to change the tyre myself.

"I called the AA and they helpfully suggested that, while I walk my daughter to school, I could schedule the patrol to come and fix the tyre for the time I’d be back home from dropping her off at the gates.

"This was a great solution as it gave us the opportunity to enjoy a lovely sunny morning and have an even lovelier father-daughter chat without any stress.

"When I got back home the AA Patrol was already there waiting for me and he had it fixed in a jiffy."
