The only time I've tried to actually use them, when my clutch master cylinder disintegrated in my old Golf, they refused to send a recovery until a van attended (because apparently they sometimes fix broken clutches at the roadside) and that would be a few hours. I told them not to bother and sorted it out myself.Whos good to go with? Just the AA?
I think these days both the AA and RAC have outgrown themselves. Only worth it if you're happy waiting all day for someone to show up.
