[QUOTE="Graham Smith, post: 151398"] I've been with just The AA and Green Flag over the years. My experience with The AA was pretty good. Having filled our diesel car up with petrol on the way home from an AGM, they recovered us home, so we could get ourselves sorted without having to pay an extortionate rate. Green Flag wasn't so good. On the way home from a North Kent Section meeting, I went down a pothole on the A2, and the tyre split open. Not having a spare, I called out Green Flag and I ended up sitting at the side of the road waiting to be recovered for four hours. Not impressed! Another time (after the last GCM), Josh was driving me home in Sally's car and all the dash lights came on. Without wishing to bore you with the details, we ended up getting relayed home on three different breakdown trucks and we eventually got home about 0200hrs. A nine hour journey that should've taken about two. Again not good. Personally, I don't think any of them are fantastic. They do everything to a price, and if you catch them on a day when they've got nothing else on, you'll think the service is great. Sadly, if you need them when they're busy, you could be in for a long wait like I was. [/QUOTE]
