Has anyone worked for the AA before?
« on: 23 June 2013, 19:52:58 »

I was thinking about sending them my CV with regards to any recovery driver vacancies.

Does anyone know if they are good to work for?

Many thanks. :y :-*

If you are happy with crap hours, they pay well.  And so they should...... spending half your life on the side of the Motorway is not something I would like to do.

I would imagine they would prefer someone who has a keen knowledge of mechanics as a basic?

I wanted to do recovery work only.

Have you considered agency work :-\

I suspect that anything else transport related will see you doing at least 50 hours a week, if not more, anything self employed will mean being on call 24/7...

All AA/RAC/Green Flag (on the road) people are expected to 'repair' a vehicle.  Just because some drive a flat-bed doesn't make them exempt from tinkering  :y

To become an AA employee you will need to undertake a basic mechanical test,then a written test, then you might be able to apply to become a relay driver,
 just phone them up and they will send you an application pack.
