The AA Smart Care Avis 

first class service professional polite from start to finish i wouldn’t use any other service

The AA mechanic showed up and serviced my car, then informed me he couldn’t stamp my book because he doesn’t have a stamp. I’m left with no real record in the book. I phoned to ask if someone else could come and stamp the book. The guy on the phone said he’d call me back but never did. Very disappointed.

I would not recommend AA Smart Care based on my experience.

I paid for a diagnostic to identify the fault with my vehicle, but after being without my car all day, I was left with no diagnosis—just a report listing multiple fault codes without identifying the actual problem. The warning light came back on as soon as I drove away from the garage.

Communication throughout the process was appalling. I received no updates from AA and only found out my car was ready because I called the garage myself. If I hadn’t, I wouldn’t have known to collect it. I also had to request the diagnostic report myself, as it wasn’t sent automatically.

I submitted a formal complaint and received an automated response stating it would be acknowledged within 2–3 working days. That timeframe has now passed, and I still haven’t heard anything.

I’ve paid for a service that wasn’t delivered and have completely lost confidence in both AA Smart Care and the approved garage.

Easy to book and reputable third party services provided

non of the recommended garage could not resolve the issue i just waste my money for the diagnostic check. Finally someone else resolve the issue

Very good experience, would definitely recommend and use again. Communication good to inform me mechanics running late, but also had a phone call when they were 10 mins away.
The two men that came to do the work were extremely polite and very friendly. They informed me that they would only carry out the necessary work.
They respected my driveway protecting it while working and cleaned everything away.

I arrived at the garage at 0850 ten minutes before my appointment as requested. I was asked to park in the lane alongside the garage.
The car did not move into the garage until 1210 . I consider this an excessive amount of time to wait until work was started,if they were this busy why was I given a time of 0900

Once appointment was eventually booked mobile mechanic Philip was brilliant friendly informative professional and perfect job. Well done Phillip . Price was also very fair .

no fuss no dramas service and mot went smoothly

Rene a great gent and very knowledgeable, clean and organised.

Fabulous service, kept me updated, would use again...

Machanic was a nice guy and did a very good job. Suppliers let im down with wrong part

Very disappointing experience with AA Service Care. They recommended a garage that appears to operate under multiple different names.

I was initially told my vehicle had failed its MOT and was unsafe to drive. I was then issued with a passed MOT certificate for the same vehicle. Concerned, I took the car to a different garage, who confirmed it had in fact failed its MOT and should not have been driven. The reason for the failure was also different from what the AA-recommended garage had originally told me.

When I raised these concerns with AA Service Care, they were dismissive and rude, offering no meaningful assistance. Despite recommending the garage, they took no responsibility for helping to resolve the issue. The only advice I received was, “It’s not our problem – contact the DVSA.”

I expected far better customer service and support from a company that recommends repairers to its customers. Instead, they took my money and left me to deal with a potentially serious safety issue on my own.

Booking was fine. However, on the day, I dropped off the car at the scheduled time and then heard nothing. I tried contacting the AA but was stuck in a long phone queue. I was also awaiting a response from them via WhatsApp. Given that it was now less than an hour before the garage closed, I decided to go down there. They were surprised the AA hadn't given me a call. So, they explained the situation to me and I decided to not go ahead with additional work. Five minutes before the garage closed, the AA quote came through via email (still no call to confirm). To decline additional work, you have to call or email them. I have no desire to sit in another phone queue but perhaps unsurprisingly, 3 working days later, I have not had a response to the email. A service that I thought would make the process more painless ended up adding a load of additional unnecessary stress.

Good friendly service provided at a reasonable cost.

Hi.to say I'm well pleased with the job Chris ward did on my Range Rover on Monday 27th July 2026....such a helpful and excellent job he provided a really nice lad you should be honoured that you have a very professional young man who works for your company....I'm hope you can let your superiors know what excellent young man you have representing your company...brilliant job...cheers...Mr LLOYD..

It happened exactly as told it would on the phone. Pleasant young man who seemed to know what he was doing. I'm know expert but the car seems ok. I wished I'd asked more questions like did they put Anti freeze inn
Did he check the tyres. He said I would receive a report but that didn't arrive.

Very good and efficient service at a competitive price

Finally got my vehicle back, despite the garage truning round and now using the excuse that the vehicle has no petrol in it, I had a quarter tank and its 5 miles away. How is it empty?? Very dodgy
