RAC Roadside Assistance

RAC thank you so much!! today somehow I managed to lock my car with bag and keys inside. I have no idea how?? but then went into a panic because my Dog Beamish was inside with all windows shut!! thank god it was not sunny but I was panicking. I phoned the RAC and they were fantastic they made it high priority and a guy was there in 20mins. the RAC phoned me twice to keep me posted. Beamish is home safe and sound now but
I just want to let everyone know amazing the RAC were and thank them for their understanding and kindness.

Broken down (transmission) 29k the other side of Penong. Had several conversation with recovery centre and cannot thank Katherine, Sally and Naomi enough for their assistance in getting us to the closest Jeep service centre which was in Adelaide. Never travel without Ultimate plus cover.

This year, I forgot to pay for RACWA Roadside Assistance, which was due at the end of March. I realized it wasn't paid at the end of June when the car failed to start. I paid the account online immediately and phoned RACWA the next day asking for roadside assistance to get the car going. They told me I would have to pay an additional $100 even though my annual payment had been backdated to the end of March.
Isn't that fees for no service???
I will switch to another roadside assistance provider when the current cover lapses (March next year).

Never had an issue.
I pay my yearly fee and forget about it.
If something does go wrong i have peace of mind if i am away from home.
Would recommend to those of us less mechanically minded.

Had a flat battery in the middle of CBD. Waited an hour and half and called again. It seems the mechanic had additional 3 jobs ahead of me and will take additional an hour and half. It seems I could get it towed, which would need an hour wait time. What happens if you stuck in remote location? Will you ever get help?
In my case finally battery world helped.
Somehow I feel I was put behind because I denied buying the battery.

My partner had a flat battery in her car recently, rang on our roadside assistance. They quoted me $290 to come around and put in a battery for a little 4 cylinder hatchback. What do I pay roadside assistance for? To make things cheaper? I got a battery with correct specifications for $129 and had it picked up and fitted in 20mins. Do I need to find another roadside assistance provider? Yes

Just wanted to again thank Shaun RAC brakedown service Karratha . I had a problem with the battery in my Nissan Pathfinder and Shaun from the RAC came and helped me . My family and I were 1600 kms from home and he was efficient , friendly and knowledgable . He organised a new battery , fitted it , fixed the problem and had the the best attitude . Thanks mate appreciated Leon .

RAC are more expensive than any other roadside assist. Customer service is terrible and when you complain
costomer service say "thank you for your feedback". Don't care.

Standing on the street waiting for a tow truck for 2 hours. It is not acceptable. Switched to another service provider straight after this. The other one is cheaper and provides free tow up to 50K. Good bye RAC, You're very disappointing.

I been a member for 33 years I placed a review about 2 weeks ago and is not there anymore I really disappointed and will leave when renewals come due they will lose 2 roadsides + one car insurance

I’ve been told the tow truck will coming within an hour, but didn’t come. When I called them back they said there has no records in their system, and have to wait for another 40mins.

Phoned for assistance and within 15 mins. the mechanic arrived.She, April, could not have been more helpful.She explained in laymans terms what she was doing and why she was doing it. Also gave me a few tips to help in the future. Brilliant service.

Phone call from son who had gone off road with friend overnight, friend's car damaged and needed to be recovered from about 220kms...son has RAC Ultimate which covers any eligible car he is with, needed a flat tray recovery, advised to upgrade the cover to Ultimate Plus for $16.65 (difference in premium until renewal) to avoid excess and vehicle transported home. Great service and great result.

First, I was their Roadside Assistance member, but they kept pushing me to buy more and more crap from them. Like this home and contents insurance. So I stopped paying for their Roadside Assistance too. Now, they can’t stop calling me, averaging 2-3 times per week. And worse, their telemarketing numbers keep changing so I can’t even block them!

Don’t ever sign up for any products with this company, otherwise your mobile phone will get spammed with more and more telemarketing crap!
