Booked a new battery and installation…

Booked a new battery and installation online. On the day of the appointment, I received regular updates confirming details and expected arrival time. RAC mechanic was polite, helpful and carried out the job quickly and tidily.

Christmas morning

Christmas morning; car all packed. Leaped in the car, and.... nothing. Rude words followed, plus a visit to the RAC shop site to see how much a new battery is. Hang on, there's a delivery and fitting slot this afternoon! Surely not... But yes; the fitter arrived within the slot, took no time at all to fit and check the battery, and Christmas evening was saved. Trumpets :)

Great kit at good prices, but there are delivery issues.

I ordered a dash cam and paid for installation. The equipment was delivered separately 6 days before the agreed install date. I have no issue with this per se, except that I was not informed about this - I had assumed the installer would bring the equipment on the day. But we were not at home when the dash cam was " delivered", so I was a little surprised to find that the package - containing £300 worth of valuable new kit - had been left in plain sight by a plant pot outside our front door - easy prey for opportunist thieves. Fortunately, our dash cam did not get stolen, but please take this issue up with your carrier. Other than this issue, no complaints.

Great service

Had a blow out on a busy road and the mechanic showed up within the hour.
Got me back on the road in November time.

RAC = Rubbish. Appalling. Criminal

It’s never good to order from a company that has nearly 50% of one star reviews on Trustpilot.
I wish I had looked on here first, but being the RAC, you expect better.
I’m glad I have breakdown cover with Greenflag, at least things get sorted with them.
Anyway enough winging.
I ordered an item. I received it next day (Great). I opened the item & realised I’d ordered the wrong item. I spoke with the RAC customer services about a return and was given the address and details of how to send it back, no mention of anything else.
I sent it back at a cost £6 & then received an email saying that wouldn’t refund it if the seal was broken. (To late, as it had already been sent back).
I’ve now had the item sent back & delivered to me again, with no note and no explanation of why it’s been sent back to me. So I called them again, only to be told that because the seal had been broken, the item could not be returned.
I find this unexceptionable, as the item hadn't been used & was still brand new & in its box. I could understand if the item had been used, but it hadn’t. I’d simply made a mistake when ordering and an even bigger mistake by ordering from the RAC. A mistake I WON’T make again.
I was going to order the item I did need from them, but after the terrible service I have received, I will now take my money elsewhere. They won't even refund the £6 it cost me to return the item, even though it was their fault for not informing me it couldn't be returned until a day later, after it had been sent back. SHAMEFUL
THANKS RAC ????

Excellent Service Provided

From the online chat questions through to delivery of the product was an excellent service. The chat agent was really helpful, the product was as described and delivery was efficient.

Road Angel Vision 3 dashcam…

Ordered the Road Angel Vision 3 dashcam and it arrived quite quickly. I had the fitting booked in and they called to arrange an early date which was good. RC connect fitted the dashcam in about an hour or so and tve guy was very good. You have to get the SD card programmed via a lap top which I don't have so a friend is doing that. The fitter called me a couple of days after fitting to check if all was OK. Good product.

Car battery failed while on holiday in…

Car battery failed while on holiday in the middle of nowhere, in the outer reaches of the UK. It was a Sunday afternoon and we were due to drive home the following day. I purchased the battery and it was fitted and my car completely fixed within 2.5 hours. Nice chap came to fit it too! Thank you RAC shop. You saved me and my family from an awful lot of stress!
