Excellent service - couldn’t get a link via text message, so rang the call centre, call answered quickly, the operator explained what would happen. Recovery arrived within 30 minutes, fixed the problem (new battery) back home within the hour.

I disliked the amount of time it took and that they sent a huge car transporter and that meant as a 74 year old I had to climb up to get in the cab and that it was far to big for the narrow roads where I live,but having said this the staff were constan5ly ringing to check and the driver was helpful

Clutch went so I was on the motorway hard shoulder. Rescue arrived within the time. Call centre rang every 15 mins to check I was ok. Driver called with his ETA. Call centra advised I could call back at any time if I was concerned.

AVOID! Broke down in France. They were no use at all. Our tyre burst, they said it would take them a couple of days to get us a new tyre! Who has a couple of days spare?? We had dogs to get back to the UK and of course jobs to get back to. They said they couldn’t get anyone out as it was very late. It was 1700. So don’t expect 24 hour coverage. Wish I’d read all the reviews and gone with the AA. Very stressful end to a lovely holiday

Our cars clutch master cylinder had failed and car was stuck in driveway. Start rescue came and picked the car up at a prearranged time and delivered it to our local garage for repair. Excellent service and very friendly recovery driver.

Woman on my own ,a little unsure at first not knowing the person, (complete stranger) was made to feel comfortable and at ease, given understandable explanation. Very helpful. All in all I would not hesitate to recommend this company. Thank you so much it’s not always easy a woman in your own , but definitely very reassuring a trustworthy company in my opinion. Again thank you

The lady in Call Assist managed to find my exact location in Mid Wales within minutes. I got message that the recovery would be with me 20_30 minutes, which they were. The mechanic found the fault and corrected it and I was back mobile within the hour. Brilliant service thank you all.

my call for help was picked up swiftly and the person who answered was very considerate, sympathetic and handled my call very efficiently. The pickup driver was courteous, kept me well informed as to when he’d be arriving, and again very empathetic.

All staff including mechanics were lovely and helpful. Too a bit longer than the estimated to arrive but then again, I was at home so my case lacked urgency, so was to be expected and I didn't mind too much. Was also a Saturday. Car was towed away the next working day to the dealership that I always get my services done, Monday and was fixed! For an unpleasant circumstance, I'm very happy with how it was all handled. :)

Good advice from WHICH magazine and I signed up for Start Rescue. Car failed to start at home and from my initial phone call everything went perfectly and a technician would be with me within an hour. In the event he was delayed by traffic but importantly he phoned to tell me and sorted out a replacement battery when he arrived. I received several calls from Call Assist checking if all was ok and a final one to check that I was happy with the service. It was exceptional!

Excellent manner on the phone. She organised a breakdown to come within an hour and he was under an hour. I thoroughly recommend them as being reliable and a very competitive price.
