Exactly one week ago from today, I was with my daughter in Shrewsbury and the belt jumped off the pulleys when the car stalled. So no power steering, no alternator etc
Called the AA, described the fault to dispatcher on the phone, then she said 2 to 3 hour wait, she then asked me if there were any 'circumstances' was I disabled etc, answered by telling her I had to be 31 miles away within the hour to pick up my 8 year old Grand daughter from school, no other pick up possible ( the whole truth )
AA van was there within 10 minutes, showed him belt was still good, but had jumped off when car stalled, I had already removed some cables for access and gave him a hand, both using gloves and masks obviously, car was fixed in under 10 minutes.
No complaints from me. Maybe I was lucky.
