Independent reviews
We came top in 'Which?' magazine's independent survey in August 2013. Nearly 7,000 people were surveyed – over half had AA cover. This is the 8th year running we've have been given a top Which? recommended breakdown provider award.
AA Breakdown Services has been awarded a star rating from Defaqto.
Thanks go to Patrol Bernard, Amy and all of the other call-centre staff who helped to co-ordinate our rescue. For musicians who are constantly on the road, the AA really is the fourth emergency
service and we will be forever grateful for their assistance. If you aren't a member already, you should be!”
