The AA offer a parts and labour service. If your car is under 10 years old or 100,000 miles and its serviced annually you can have a policy which is £79 per year.
My hubby has called on it a couple of times for £50 excess on jobs that would have cost almost £500
Worth looking into, i know it isn't exactly a 'breakdown' service but def worth the money

i know my AA cover is only good for the tow home, i wouldnt let people like that under my bonnet.
its like car insurance, just go with the cheapest.

Tow home isn't always much use though - I have found my home cover useful also when it's refused to start, also tow to any UK destination (which often isn't home - might be dealer or elsewhere) and EU cover. I'm with greenflag BTW, they're great 
I use Brittania Rescue as part of my CSMA membership (Civil Service Motoring Association). Haven't used them yet (furious wood touching), but it was damn cheap as it was a not for profit service. If you are or have been a member of the Civil Service then you will be able to join them
I have more than insurance so get a little discount on their breakdown service - uses nearest local garage.
Only used it twice a few years back, both times on a Uno (non starter & binding brakes). Both times they sent a local garage who were there really quickly.

Like the sound of that, £79 for a year or £139 for 2 years from the AA.
Choices choices Swings and roundabouts...

Just checked. My Brittania Rescue Standard Cover costs - £45.04 per year for one vehicle. This includes attempting to repair the broken down vehicle at the side of the road, and if that is not possible the vehicle will be towed to the destination of my choice.
Very competitive price
Wish I knew Ffoxy, it's a family arrangement so I just pay my dad each year and get a new card. I do know I have the above options though, remember looking through the brochure a few years ago when we joined
