Absolutely awful

Absolutely awful, don’t EVER use AA accident assist!
I called the AA following hitting a pot hole, they advised me to use there AA assist programme and I would not have to do anything myself, was told they would recover the car, speak with my insurance, do the claim give me a hire car id have to do nothing.
Oh how wrong, they picked my car up 2 days later still no hire car called up to chase for them to tell me I should have called my insurance and made a claim! Called my insurance made the claim they put extra excess of £500 on top because I hadn’t gone through them! Called AA back up who have said that I don’t need to worry about that as they have a contract with steer and they absorb the cost of it!
This was way over a month I still haven’t got my car back and steer group called me today to say the car is NEARLY done but I have to pay them £750 excess! Erm no I don’t AA told me you sort the extra and guess what they said no we don’t!
I’m now trying to get hold of AA which I haven’t been able to!
This is effected my mental health and I’ve been lied to and missold so much it’s terrible service!

Hi Jemma, we’re sorry to hear that you’ve been disappointed with your experience, and we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

Having looked into this, we can see there was a miscommunication around the repair process and whether your insurer needed to be contacted before the claim could move forward. We understand how frustrating and stressful this must have been, especially after already dealing with the accident itself, and we’re sorry for the confusion caused. This is still being reviewed through our formal complaints process, and we’ll be responding in full within the agreed timescale.

Regarding the policy excess contribution. This has now been resolved, and we’ve confirmed that the full £500 excess will be covered.

We’re sorry that your experience has not met the standard we aim to provide, and we do appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
