AA breakdown/repair, Damn you Rover

Tractor Boy · 25th November 2011, 10:09

I took out the AA breakdown and repair cover about 30k ago and am getting a bit miffed, £16 a month and not even a hiccup from the 75. I was thinking about stopping it but sods law says if I do the car will have a major failure. I took it out as I was doing lots of miles and a lot of it on the M25 and didnt like the idea of being stranded there. I still think its a great deal, but only if you have a lesser car than a Rover.

Nice one gave me a chuckle, and the thought, do you feel the same way about your life assurance cover?

Better to have and not need than need and not have

As far as life assurance is concerned I may as well cancel that, at least with the AA I get something out of it. If I die Im not going to benefit from life assurance, Hmmmm wheres my phone

I have it as well, but just got my renewal and its gone up to £24 a month. I haven't called them out once.

My other half got your share. She'd taken it out 5 weeks before the head gasket went on her MGF. Result, especially as I told her not to bother as it wasn't worth it!

To be honest I think recovery is worth having to get you home but the 5 or 6 times I've used them on my VW camper and my Scooter the "technician" has had less idea than me and they have never got my vehicle going at the roadside then they have to radio for a tow truck and I have to wait again.
