When Buying my breakdown cover with the AA. I was informed of a service they where offering that I thought you guys might like to know about.
AA breakdown Repair Cover - £65-£85pa
http://www.theaa.com/breakdownrepaircover/index.html
It's like a new warranty on your car, Mines a Punto 99 1.2SX and it's cost me £65 a year (on top of AA breakdown, so in total about £100) it covers pretty much anything that can cause a breakdown including clutch's, gearboxes, head gaskets, radiators, cam belts etc.
I feel it's the best thing i've ever bought for my car as it's so far paid for it-self and saved me about £60 already.
I got in my car one morning and found that i could not put my car in gear, i knew that this was a hydraulic clutch issue and that topping up the cylinder and bleeding the valve would have solve it, but at the time I couldn't be bothered to sort it myself(monday morning, 7.30 am, shirt & tie etc). I called the AA and within and hour he had diagnosed a leak in the slave cylinder of the clutch system. He bleed and topped up the system as a temporary fix (so I could carry on as normal) and gave me a report explaining the problem, he then directed me to my nearest approved nationwide garage. I called them, booked it in that morning and left my car for repair, once done I paid the £25 excess and drove home. the garage dealt with all the papaerwork, liased with the AA on my behalf and sorted the cost required for cover, £120 inc labour.
All you need to do to use the service is report the fault as a breakdown, get the fault report and turn up at a nationwide garage. Brilliant
