THE AA

just been on phone to aa there telling me that for a one off payment 80? they will fix my car 25? per time up to 5 times a year i no they done this in newer cars but i told her mines done 12700 miles 20 year old and she says thats fine  8O  now i know a lot that will need doing in the next year if you know what i meen :mrgreen:

they're only giving you ?125.00 a year arent they though??

sorry if im wrong dont know much about it..

but u still have to pay for parts, and they wont do any technical stuff like a rear beam swop or head gasket  

she said they would do a head gasket shes sending me out some info it only started 2 months ago for older cars seems to good to be true 8O  ps no money has changed hands as yet

You can have 5 claims in a year and pay a ?25 excessive but you have to be in a breakdown situation i.e. car over heating (cylinder head gasket) you also have to use a vat registered garage and prove service history on car i.e ( that you have reciept of last service) and the AA will pay you upto ?500 max per breakdown. I only know as I work for them

cheers mate all the way fae glasgow too :wink:

Slightly off topic but I just had to say I think the AA are great, saved my bacon on a number of occasions not only in the Golf either.

They're always prompt, polite and above all friendly.

AA = 10/10

Tian :notworthy:

Indeed, I'll second that.  :y:

I'd have been stuck a few times if it wasn't for the AA (not Mk1 related I may add), well worth the small outlay for a years membership  

I'll Third! Excellent service even took me to get the parts and fitted them!
He's a Very nice Man!

4th it   there great saved me many a time :mrgreen:

AA fantastic

 

I have this on my *ahem* 306 and it's done me a treat (insert own joke here about French build quality). I get mine serviced regularly but it's at that age where things are starting to go. Called them out 3 times last year and saved myself a packet on things like power steering pump etc.

If you've got the time, any suggestion of a problem, pull over, give em a call and put your feet up. Just the job.

This is great to hear as I joined about 1hr ago as I am off for a 600 mile round trip in the morning and did not want to break down on the M1. Its cheap 2 ?9.50 ish a month for the 2 of us and we have 2 cars so it is worth it in my eyes.....I feel like a fraud as I am a mechanic but i would hate to be hit by a truck whilst I am changing a belt or something....

lol @ dave   … gotta look after #1 tho  :wink:
I gt rac, and never used it, but the day i cancel it…. il break down lmao  ops:

hi i wouldnt have a holiday if it wasnt 4 the aa there all so helpfull ,i had a leak on the rad he put k seal in it and flexi putty and temporary repaired it but was just the ticket at 4 in the morning was very tired by the time we hit nequay but love the chap loved my mk 1 also a fellow golf owner and he cured another problem i had gr8 A+

On the topic of the RAC, has anybody got any opinions on them?

I heard that they weren't anywhere near as good.

I also saw a documentary some yeas ago on how they ripped off motorists by selling batteries when they weren't required!

Tian  8O

Well we try our best, it's nice to be commended and recommended (point of interest the AA has 2700 patrols and the RAC have about 1700 so you should get a better responce time with the AA) The AA also has a market share of over 50% having over 14 million members hopefully not all breaking down at the same time.

ha ha I made it and did it in a good time and what a laugh I had…. Sorry not done 278 miles in a car without power steering for a few years…and who are the AA again lol….mine is a cub she only has 64800 on her

She will never break down touch wood lol

Have a good weekend

Dave

The only problem I have with drinking, is not being served fast enough!
