Breakdown Hell, Greenflag Heaven

I like Green Flag (May Day) taken out with the CC as they will do a double journey recovery taking you on to your holiday destination and then back home if not fixed, including a twin axle caravan. I doubt many break down services will handle a large 4wd and twin axle. It seems geared for CC members needs. 

What did you expect? Its a Land Rover. WORST 4X4 BY FAR!!

..too right. But to be fair most have done moon miles.

I have found Green Flag excellent whenever I have broken down. About Four times over the last fifteen years or so!! The double trip facility if you break down on the way to your holiday is a great idea.  About five years ago, my son joined us camping with his car and a tent. He was covered by my Green Flag membership and broke down about 30 miles from where we were camping on the last day of his holiday. He was given the option of being transported to a local garage or home or camp site. He would not be able to go home via the campsite to collect his camping gear.  Aparently, the two journeys only stand if you are on your way to your holiday. I don't know if this is still the case, but if it is, it is an annomoly that you need to be aware of.  Fortunately the campsite owner was willing to let us repair the car on the site.....changing the water pump in the rain with minimal tools was no fun, but it had to be done that day for him to return home for an interview. 

I guess it is a case of "be aware of the small print".

Would not touch green flag with a barge pole

Write your comments here...Glad last week that I had Green Flag to do a temporary repair in Keswick to get my Motorhome home 250 miles.

Have been with green flag "Mayday" for years only ever had one problem breakdown when recovery driver got lost,always first class service

We also use Green Flag for exactly the same reason.  They pick you up, take you to site and return you home if you cannot effect repairs during your stay on site.  Fortunately we have not had the misfortune to need their services, but it is comforting to know they are there.

it took 3 green flag vans 3 hours to find a 7 pin to 13 pin adaptor!

after complaining i got £30 in compensation.

Just joined Greenflag Mayday recently, thankfully never needed to call them ..but very reassuring to hear from you're breakdown experience,that they provide an excellent service.
