RAC members are more loyal than AA’s^^

RAC were quick to help in a very busy period. The assistant who arrived yesterday was cheerful, helpful and very knowledgeable. He helped greatly in starting the car and checking things out and making us aware of an error that was made when we had a new battery fitted recently.

Pat Steele

My car wouldn't start outside the house, so while I was safe and sound, I was concerned that I wasn't going to be able to get to work the next day. The RAC man listened carefully to my concerns and then did a thorough check to identify the problem (old battery on its last legs) and got a quick solution.

Jonathon Newton

Fantastic service from Ian for the RAC we broke down on the A38 plymouth and he was with us in an hour and dealt with our problem very professionally & relayed us to our garage & home excellent service considering it was busy & weather was bad thank u Ian & RAC.

Mrs Drury

We broke down on the m23 northbound just passed Gatwick at rush hour. Our tyre burst on the outside lane of the motorway. We called the RAC and they couldn’t have been faster. James was with us within 30 minutes, and we were on our way again. Thank you RAC for getting us back on the road quickly and safely.
