Car service

Always top notch service from the RAC convenient being able to add additional services on that you can’t do with other places such as Halfords always kept up to date with ETA’s etc.

Kieron (8463) made a stressful day a breeze with his friendly, down-to-earth approach and top-tier patience while explaining the issue with my Nissan Juke. He even recognised true talent, declaring my mum’s coffee the best! Huge bonus points for getting the repair booked and handled on the exact same day, especially since having him back meant I knew the car was in great hands.
Five stars, thank you!

Mrs LTemel, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience and understand the frustration of being without your vehicle for longer than expected.

We would not be able to offer compensation or reimbursement for taxi fares in this instance. Our records show that your booking was arranged with our breakdown team on the 7th for an appointment on the 9th, and our mechanic attended within the agreed appointment slot without delay.

We recognise that this was not the experience you had hoped for and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We will ensure your comments are passed on to the relevant teams for review.

Very best, Brad

breakdown and mobile mechanic

After initial breakdown my driver and crew were seen too withing a 4 hour window and then after diagnosis of battery replacement we were asked to book for next day. The mechanic came and attended after my call to your offices to expediate the matter as original booking was to a mechanic who was overbooked and it was eventually moved and done earlier. However the mechanic was very helpful throughout.

Bedford to Preston with the RAC

I just want say thank you for your help and support.
The call out took 6.5hrs to put an action plan together due to a very busy night.

The Hotel, the onward journey with a hire car and the recovery went to plan.

Thank you.

The terrible poor performance of the RAC.

The battery was ordered by your colleague on Sunday, for delivery on Tuesday morning. At noon on Tuesday I phoned and informed that it would be delivered between 2 and 5pm, which I thought was ridiculous has waited all the morning. Your colleague did some further checking and said it would arrive between 3 and 5pm. When asked where it was being sent from, I was it was from Bilston and your colleague would let me know more closer to the time. Just before 3pm the battery arrived and the mechanic said that they were from Telford, much much closer to me than Bilston. Can you get a colleague to phone me and explain how you are still in business with such an inefficient organisation system and advise me if the AA or Green Flag any better.
With regards to the reply from the RAC, you only stated information that was not given to me at the time of ordering i.e. ''However, your booking on Tuesday was scheduled within our all-day appointment window, which runs from 9:00am to 5:00pm. While we understand waiting can be frustrating, the appointment was booked within this timeframe. For customers who require a more specific arrival window, we also offer a paid first appointment slot between 9:00am and 10:30am.''
L You also missed out on my main issues:
1. I was originally told the battery could be delivered
on Monday, which not convenient for me, I was told it would be delivered on Tuesday morning ,not between 9am and 5pm, the offer of a time slot between 9am and 10:30 was not mentioned.
2. Why was the original delivery planned from Bilston (over 30 miles away) instead of being sent from one of your agents in Telford e.g. your garage in Halesfield, less than 10 miles away in the first place?
3. You ignored my request for performance information between yourselves and your competitors (surely you must have this information).
4. Most of all you did not have the courtesy to phone me to discuss the issues. I might be old fashioned, but as an 81 year old, Face to face communication is the best, followed a telephone call, a very poor third option being email as chosen by you.
If you wish to discuss this further to convince me that the RAC is still my best option, you can visit my house have a cup of coffee and discuss this face to face (you have my address) or you can phone me (you have mobile number) if you are not capable or too timid to use the above options, please send me a letter so we can carry on the discussion at length through the post.
I feel that email is the most impersonal method of communication and should only be used if the other options are not available. I look forward to a visit from you or a personal telephone call as soon as convenient. Regards, Peter.
Your reply was basically the same as your original reply!!!. You have made no attempt to answer my 4 comments and again using an impersonal email when I specifically requested a personal visit or phone call. If these options are too expensive or difficult for you, send me a direct telephone number and I
will call you. Shurely this can not be that difficult. Look forward to talking to you. Regards, Peter

Pete, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience.

We appreciate your feedback regarding communication. A courtesy call should have been made to provide a more accurate ETA, and we're sorry that this did not happen. We'll ensure your comments are passed on to the relevant team for review and improvement.

However, your booking on Tuesday was scheduled within our all-day appointment window, which runs from 9:00am to 5:00pm. While we understand waiting can be frustrating, the appointment was booked within this timeframe. For customers who require a more specific arrival window, we also offer a paid first appointment slot between 9:00am and 10:30am.

Thank you again for sharing your feedback. It helps us identify areas where we can improve our service and communication. We apologise for any inconvenience that you have experienced.

Very best, Brad

Brilliant service and incredibly convenient having the mechanic come directly to me. Turned up as arranged, was knowledgeable and got everything sorted efficiently. Saved a lot of time and hassle compared with taking the vehicle into a garage.
