Provided Motorcycle Breakdown Cover

I have used Green Flag for car and motorcycle breakdown cover several times over the last few decades, and I might have even have called them out once or twice. As I recall, everything seems to have worked satisfactorily using local breakdown services. The lower cost of the policy is a draw for sure, but they work at least as well as the other 2 main suppliers of breakdown services.

Although the app would not recognise my address, it was easy to book a specific time, although subsequently the appt was brought forward at GF's request. The technician was polite and did his best to solve the problem but indicated that the vehicle should be dealt with at a Ford specialist.

My car broke down and after a horrible pause where I was stranded on as busy A road it finally let me move it at 4 miles per hour to a side road where I called Green Flag. The call centre was easy to navigate, the call centre staff were friendly, professional and helpful. I received regular updates of where my break down driver was, and he arrived within the hour and took the car away to Stoneacre Hyde, who had sold it me three days earlier.

Very easy site to use and a good price.
I’d heard about Green Flag being the most efficient breakdown company so decided to get a quote. Very surprised how cheap it is for all the cover I have. Very impressed.

After being told 1/2 hour wait…. I had phone call after phone call, saying it was going to be another hour before they sent help. My son had walked home from school and was waiting for me. If they had said 4 1/2 hours wait, I would’ve got a lift home and picked the car up the next day

I recently had to call green flag as my car wouldn't start when I was out. Lee the technician arrived in about 15 mins and I was kept informed about his arrival. He explained everything and after getting my car started followed me to the garage to make sure I got there. 5 star service and I highly recommend green flag.

My call was answered very quickly, I was kept updated by Green Flag on their nominated operator, D&G Assist and the D&G operator, Stephen, called to give me an ETA. The fault was a spurious fault code that was checked and cleared. I was up and running within 50 mins of my call to Green Flag. Excellent service.

Blown tyre

I had a blown tyre explained I was on busy road in a dangerous spot and needed a tow to a garage for new tyre. Green flag sent a van after two hours with no towing facilities and could do nothing except park behind my vehicle to protect it from oncoming traffic. A green flag van came out whilst the sub contractor just stood about waiting for the towing facility. Green flag had located a garage with the tyre size needed but did NOT inform me of that. Got towed to garage just in time to get new tyre fitted.

I'm sorry if we've let you down when you needed us most, as this isn't the level of service we aim to deliver. In the event the breakdown is caused by a damaged tyre which we're unable to repair and there isn't a spare tyre to use, we'll recover you to a garage within 10 miles from where you've broken down. I'm sorry for any lack of communication but I'm glad we were able to recover you to a garage and get a new tyre fitted in time. Kallum

Recovery failure

On Friday 5th April the battery warning light came on and approximately 30 miles later we lost all power. The Green Flag technician managed to restart the car and escorted us approximately one mile to our hotel car park. The technician told us that we’d be able call Green Flag again if the problem recurred on our return journey. We were extremely disappointed and frustrated to find this was not the case. Consequently I had to join the RAC and pay for emergency assistance to recover us from the M40.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us and I’m sorry to hear we’ve let you down. If we’ve applied a temporary fix to get you going again, we’d ask you take the car to a garage to ensure permanent repairs are carried out. If a repeat call-out is made within 28 days for the same fault, there will be a charge to pay for us to attend again. We’re concerned to hear we’ve given conflicting information and we’d like to look into this for you. Please use the link below to log your concerns with us and we’ll investigate this further.

I can't recomend Green Flag enough. Both the lady in the call centre & recovery mechanic was *brilliant*, I felt safe & secure from the call centre, who helped me to find my location. The recovery truck arrived 1 hour early than expected (being an elderly lady in remote area) I was put on priority. I can't praise the recovery driver enough, he was pleasant, helpful & efficient. Checked my car over before leaving me to continue my journey. Exallent service and 100% recomend to everyone. This was my first experience of being "stranded" Thank you to Green Flag & more so, your staff/contractors.

Had a flat battery (left the interior light on for a couple of days). I have a charger so went to open the bonnet but it wouldn't release. I was at home so I registered the rescue expecting a couple of hours wait. 20 minutes later, the technician arrived, fixed the bonnet problem, started the car up and was away. Amazingly fast and efficient service. So happy I swapped from the AA who I'd been with for years and were wanting to charge me over 3 x Green Flag's cost.

An excellent service from Green Flag from the time I first contacted them about my car breakdown until the completion of the job, enabling my car to be working again. I especially appreciated how they kept me informed about the technician's time of arrival, and discussed options about the replacement of the battery.

My car was collected I my absence. I understand it was a tricky lift. Green Flag listened to me, understood the problem, unlike the company initally contracted to recover my car. You sent the right type of vehicle at the agreed time. Alec the driver called me to check location of the car etc and I was able to help with more specific information. Brilliant job. Well done

Whilst working in Scarborough, my vehicle suffered a breakdown, this was approximately 9.30am, I contacted Direct Line (Green Flag) via the number on the website, they verified my details etc. took my position and said that they would contact me. By 10.30 a technician had visited and assessed my vehicle and decided I needed recovery. By 12.30 I was on the back of a lorry heading for Essex. Driver was excellent, I was kept informed by phone and text, service could not have been better!

Whilst we had to wait two hours for the recovery vehicle to get to us, in the overall scheme of things that want too bad. The person who answered the call suggested a wait of 69 to 90 minutes. The App then showed 60 minutes but was revised after 60 minutes to two hours. It would have been helpful if the extra hour could have been notified before the initial estimated time expired. But again, overall OK

Abandoned by Green Flag

Whilst driving north on the A34 at 8.30pm a tyre on my caravan burst. Green Flag were notified. It took until 1.30pm (16 hours) the following day before the caravan was rescued. Throughout the night around 24 calls were made with Green Flag, it took 3 abortive attempts by Green Flag to arrange a suitable breakdown vehicle before a 4th truck was able to uplift the caravan. In the meantime my wife and I were left in a lay-by with limited food and drink. We had been advised by one of the breakdown company drivers not to leave the vehicle unattended. After an investigation lasting approximately 3 weeks Green Flag accepted their service "was below an acceptable standard". I would been able to tell them that at the time.
