I have been a member of BRITANNIA RESCUE for the last ten years. I have had new cars in the last ten years until August last year when my Skoda Octavia was written off following an RTA and had never needed BRITANNIA RESCUE's services.
In November my brother gave me a VauxhallAstra (F Reg). The car has not been particularly reliable and has broken down several times. I managed to coax the engine back into life on several of these occaisions (I used to repair and rebuild the cars I had while I was in the Air Force).
On four seperate occaisions I could do nothing with the car (ignition parts had failed or battery had gone flat). On these occaisions I called out BRITANNIA RESCUE and on all four occaisions they arrived fairly swiftly 15 minutes minimum and 45 minutes maximum (far quicker than the 4th emergency service when I was a member in the 80s, the average time then being2 to 3 hours!).
On two occaisions I had to be recovered to my home and the other two occaisions I managed to carry on with my journey without any further problems. The guys who recovered me were all very efficient at diagnosing the fault.
I am most impressed with BRITANNIA RESCUE and would recommend them for outstanding service and value for money.
