Advantages: do not buy

Disadvantages: complete waste of money

my complaint!!! " AA machanical break down" after buying a landrover freelander and reading the reviews i thought it a good idea to buy a policy from the AA this policy cost me a total of £630.00 for a 24 month period,i was sent a pack called "prestige cover"recently i had trouble with my car starting and had to take it to a garage which is my local machanic,i was instructed by AA that i pay for the diagnostics and once the problem was established the machanic got in touch with AA with his report and to let them know it was one of the injectors which in the booklet called "prestige cover" was covered for repair,to my surprise the machanic called me to let me know that AA did not cover this item,
my machanic also informed me i would have been better off keeping my money in my pocket as he does not know of one case where AA have ever paid out at all! so it seems i paid £630.00 out for nothing,the case is now with my solicitor and i have been in touch with bbc/watchdog to see if they want to follow up on this matter so i can expose AA for serious false sales tactics!so for any one reading this who is thinking or been asked to buy such a policy i would advise you give it a very wide birth!!!!!!!
