I'm looking to get covered again as my RAC membership is about to run out. I've checked online and the main ones are all pretty much of a muchness in terms of service and price. However there seem to be a load of smaller companies who provide similar services to the AA, RAC etc at a much lower price. Does any of you lot use these smaller ones in preferance to the big ones? Are they any good?

Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
I have always used RAC or AA as well.
As there have not been any other replies looks like so does everyone else.

I once had the misfortune of being a member of one of these smaller organisations who used a "network of local recovery agents" to come and see your car.
All it needed was some WD40 on the throttle body to stop it sticking open but the scruffy little oik who came out seemed to know less about cars than I did and was only interested in getting my car on his low-loader and towing it off to a garage. In the end I sent him off and got a friend to come rescue me with some WD40.
I've used the RAC since. I think you've got a lot more chance of getting a proper mechanic coming out than a chancer who merely possesses the ability to drive a tow-truck.ǝןqqıʍComment

I have the full mashings Green Flag cover, it costs me a bit over £40 a year.
Mind you I get a massive discount as I was issued with a Staff number when I did a gig for them

WTS.
I'm with the RAC and the alternator went on my car just before Christmas, while at work. RAC turned up and replaced the alternator at the roadside (well, office car park). Paid parts only (£95 + VAT).
Can't see that happening with Green Flag (who I was a member of years ago and used when the electrics went on my Escort).Still InvoicingComment

Actually, thinking about it, you can use Tesco Clubcard vouchers to pay for RAC membership at quite a discount. Might be worth having a look if that's where you shop Tony?ǝןqqıʍComment
