Breakdown cover: Big brands Vs provider who use local garages
« on: »
hi folks
I know everyone will have varying experiences about their breakdown cover's provider. But still there must be somewhere consensus that who is much better than others. As we all know that there are couple of big brands who have their own patroling team. On the other hand there are breakdown cover providers who uses local garages. So, which one ideally should be preferred  given the fact that latter one is amassing more positive reviews (not sure why).

If you are a fix it yourself person, then the big brands are better, as they will either tow you on the spectacle frame or on their own trucks to where you want, so if you intend to fit a new alternator yourself on your drive for a fraction of garage prices, you want this option.

The cheaper ones use local contractors to recover you to their garage for a fix. If you would pay a garage anyway, you might prefer this.

It is possible to game the system by waiting until all the garages are closed to call it in, then it invokes proper recovery.

Is "Britannia rescue" a good brand who uses local network of garages instead of having own vehicles.
