Forgot to say... ADAC come highly recommended. German Equivalent of AA and cover all of Europe

[tunnie]

ADAC here, though never had to use them yet. AA breakdown in the UK, ADAC in Europe, for not much more than standard AA price.

Yeh, wait until you have a flat battery in a car park....then Green flag dont come to the rescue 

tell us more!  :-?

What level of cover do you think you need to get green flag to come out if your battery is flat in a car park.....needless to say my breakdown cover did not cover it.....at 2.30am, with a 1 and 3 year old......but I could pay 120 quid.....but I was not a priority.........and at this point I had been a member for 9 years.......but that soon changed

I'm assuming you had the "Recovery Only" option which does exactly what it says on the tin

If you'd told them it just wouldn't start (and not mentioned the battery) they may well have turned up

Nope, I had breakdown cover.....

......I shoudl add that they considered this to be a 'home start' issue

I'm with the AA purely for emergencies.  I tend to use Tunnie's Towing Services in preference.  In addition, because I never use my AA, they offer me a decent discount when we come to negotiate the fee each year (never take the offer they send in the post).

Nationwide service, just the humiliation of 2.2 pulling a V6  - I got told off for driving too fast

I'll ask the question if I decide to go with them under the guise of May Day. I'm also aware of the fact that Smart Roadsters don't carry spare wheels  :-/

Find that amazing, unless the aiport is within 1 mile of your home

I used to work for Green Flag's main agent in Basingrad and we were (by a long way) superior in turn out time and roadside repairs than any other of the big companies. My roadside fix rate, for example, was in excess of 92%

Should have called me.... I'm only a few miles from there!

Europ Assist - last time I needed them they jump started me and followed me home.

Battery failure and crank sensor failure at the same time.

Got back running badly then a leaner baulked me car stalled and too flat to restart.

And CS was in post during a turd strike

Sorry Martin, you'll have to run that one by me again.
