I've had the same experiences with the AA. a fuel hose popped off the gti6 about 20 miles from home and the guy who came out, 4 hours later, in the freezing cold despite me saying I had a 10 month old baby with me and no heating due to the lack of fuel, didn't even have a jubilee clip in his van to fix the problem.
Then again when the estate broke down at the services, I told them on the phone it would need a tow and it was lowered, so they sent their regular van first who basically said "oh it's modified I can't do anything with that" (only mod to the engine being a FMIC) and sent for a flat bed, three hours later, and didn't even tell the contractor the car was low so we had to scavenge for blocks of wood etc to get the car up. Bit of communication would have been nice ffs.
Heard someone mention RAC have the Ferrari and Porsche contracts now so they may show a bit more mechanical sympathy, will be looking to them come renewal time
