Lazy Mobile Engineers Destroying AA Smartcare

The men that was sent to help service my car were clearly unprofessional, inconsiderate, and lazy mobile workshop engineers.
They lied to have done major service within few minutes, sat in their van chatting and whiling time. Unknown to them, I was watching every of their moves from the window.
I tried to stay with them, they insisted I leave, promising to ring me as soon as they were done!

Excellent for at home repairs.

Had Dylan out to change brake pads on my bmw. Friendly happy chap, worked well. No issues at all. Would definitely recommend and would book again. 10 out of 10.
Booking was easy online and cheapest I could find too.

Not as efficient as I hoped

Text messages were not in line with service booked. Driver arrived then left saying he couldn’t see my car. I called him to come back. Job went well and left clean.

Hi Keith, we're sorry to hear there were issues with the communication and that the mechanic initially couldn't locate your vehicle. We're pleased the work went well once underway and was left clean and tidy. We hope you've since raised your concerns directly with the team so they could look into this further.

The booking process needs some work as they are not fulfilling the bookings therefore had to reschedule my initial booking I had.
On the actual day the mechanic came to do my repairs he was very polite and very thorough with his work. He explained what he was doing and how long it would take. Overall all the mechanic was exceptional but the booking wasn’t

Mobile mechanic stated he did not have the tools to finish the job so only fitted one side brake disc and pads. Told me he had informed his office who would call me to organise completion. No call ever came and was charged for the job stating it was completed. So now have to find a garage to complete the job at extra cost. Very poor service

Bad communication - cost me time and money

Booked for a pre 12 o'clock arrival, so I booked the morning off from work - nobody turned up until 215pm. Therefore, lost my whole working day waiting. No communication. Also, your team member did not have all the required kit on his van - for the driveway service - again booked as a driveway service.

Booked a Fault Finder service for £99…

Booked a Fault Finder service for £99 on Saturday after the engine fault light came on on my way to my daughter’s. Long journey hone next day and was worried about doing it without a diagnostic check first. I didn’t know any local garages so was very relieved I could book this service with the AA (especially as a breakdown customer). They were due to come out between 1-8pm. They phoned at 5pm to cancel because the mechanic had an emergency. So 3 hours before the time-slot expired their one mechanic had an emergency that would last at least 3 hours. Left me in the lurch completely because at that time I couldn’t book an alternative! The new slot was Tuesday so had to request the refund option. Extremely disappointed and now have to wait up to 24 days for a refund. Found a local garage service to come on Sunday luckily, only £60 and I didn’t have to pay them in advance. Would never try AA service again as can’t be relied on to keep bookings made and paid for in advance and in full.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We recognize how stressful it is to experience vehicle issues while away from home and preparing for a long journey. Having a scheduled diagnostic appointment canceled on short notice, especially when relying on our support as a breakdown customer, creates significant inconvenience and worry. We understand your frustration regarding the cancellation, the delayed alternative availability, and the processing timeline for your money to be returned.
