My car had to be recovered by the AA last week following a suspected crankshaft pulley failure. That is one sound i dont want to hear again, (sounded like a bag of spanners being pulled by a truck full of spanners!!)
Anyway, i have had garage cover on my policy for years (due to my high annual mileage) but have never had to use it. Our local garage that were chosen to fix the car rang yesterday to say repairs had been authorised and that AA would be ordering the part via Eurocarparts, and not the cheap pulley, the better (possibly corteco??) one at £140. The garage just rang to say part received this morning, now fixed and car ready for collection. So, for the cost of probably half the years payments, my car is fixed and paid for by AA with my only cost being £30 excess!! Well worth the cover with unlimited claims in a year, upto £500 per claim. well chuffed :)
