During an absolute crisis on Monday just gone, the 13th October, I was faced with my first Breakdown. With enough on my mind The AA wanted me to pay £330 from the original estimated £270 due to the fact I didn't own the national recovery addon and you must sign onto it even if your an existing member and dont need national recovery 24/7.
I spoke with CVR, they were asking for £400 due to the fact i was out of there response area but my home was not as I was 71 miles away.
After a bit of help from the AA mechanic, he told me about AAD T&R. Thanks to AAD, It only costed me £250 to get home after being stuck for a few hours. I finally made it home in comfort for around 15:00, I had been broken down since 11:00. He was welcoming and easy. Got the job done right without damaging anything and tried his hardest with my lower than normal car. He also made for a good chat and offered to make any stops needed and even tried to clear out the cab to make the drive home more comfortable. After this experience my idea of local or 3rd party recovery businesses has completely changed.
Thank you AAD!
