Making the call-out was as simple as pressing a button on an app. They came within an hour and fixed me up with a replacement battery on the spot. Very quick and painless. Show reply
I was unable to start my car at home and contacted National Road Assist. Someone came within 30 mins and was back on the road in no time. Keep up the good work it is greatly appreciated. Show reply
Forgot to get the man’s name, he was really quick getting here. I think I waited for just under 35 minutes for him to arrive. He was very quick to rectify the problem which was a dead battery. Replaced with a new one in a matter of minutes at a reasonable price. Couldn’t be more satisfied! Show reply

Unexpected experience – I had a puncture on a car I'd had only 2 weeks. I was able to talk to a helpful lady on the phone who organised help. She rang me a few times to check I was ok and let me know to wait and hour for help. A young woman arrived in a battery van and changed my tyre quickly and efficiently, I was very impressed!

Very handy to have – Car engine warning light came on. I rang national road side assist and they organised a tilt tray to pick up car and deliver to dealership for repair. Staff were very helpful and explained what l had to do and what they would do. Show reply

The person I spoke to on the phone was polite and professional and actioned my request immediately. I was told that roadside assistance would be arriving in 60-90 minutes, and they arrived in 10, identified the issue immediately, fixed it with no hesitation and left me with a fully functional care again. This is the best experience I have ever had with a roadside assistance claim. I will be renewing my membership when it comes due. Show reply

[Content Removed] staff left me hanging – Very rude when asked for help and stopped answering the phone. [Name Removed] is the most [Content Removed] person I have ever come across. While I was begging for help and wanted to stay safe, he rather got very angry. I would never recommend their service.
Did not send anyone to diagnose the problem - just booked a tow truck. Then I had to pay for another one – I had the misfortune to have to call this service after five years of paying for it. The issue being, there was no roadside assist for me - no one came out to diagnose the problem - they just booked a tow truck. And only for the next day, as I called in the afternoon. It was towed to my mechanic, but because it turned out to be an issue for an… Read more
auto electrician, I had to pay for it to be towed again, because they only pay for one tow. If they'd sent someone, or simply asked me to pop the hood and send a photo, this extra cost and delay could have been avoided. I don't need a call centre for a tow truck company - I need roadside assistance, and that's what I thought I was paying for - since the company is called 'National Roadside Assistance.'

Terrible Service – Request roadside assistance to change my flat tyre. I was told wait time is up to 2 hrs. Happy to wait as my car is at home and I have my mates car to do some errands. 2 hour later received a call from person attending the site that he will be there in some time. 4 hours of wait no one showed up. Upon calling I was told job was marked as complete.… Read more
