NEVER USE @Emergency Assist Ltd Motor Breakdown
I put the wrong fuel in my car on Thursday at 6pm. I pulled onto the busy roundabout at High Wycombe above the M40 in the rush hour and came to a kangaroo halt. I was in the middle of the roundabout with cars hurtling up behind me for over an hour. I had my 86 year old mother with me who had just had a full knee replacement who I was bringing back from the hospital. I called emergency Assist and said I had a Premium contract and wanted to be towed home. I was told that they would only tow me 24 miles and my house was 27 miles away. I asked what alternative there was and they said I needed to give them a more local address. I asked them to recommend a local garage if there would be one open but they were not able to help me locate one – they told me to use yell.com … from a packed roundabout above the M40 in the rush hour with my 86 year old mother.
They said the alternative was that they could tow me home for a cash contract to be paid then and there – for over £440. I said that was no solution and they needed to come up with a solution. The guy on the phone said he couldnt help and that only a supervisor could and there wouldnt be one available until the next morning. They left us totally stranded. The police had to tow us off the roundabout and then the @Fuel Doctor team stepped in – and were amazing.
Please, if you have your breakdown cover with Emergency Assist Ltd, change it – they will not rescue you. I didnt take out the policy for our cars. I didnt therefore check the reviews – which are all DISGUSTING! This is them:

Can only comment on the website signing up process, as only joined yesterday 25/12/2022. Very straightforward to do, even for a dinosaur as far as tech goes. Price is very important to me & the overall cost was very competitive compared to others.
I noticed I’d missed my renewal. I emailed and asked someone to contact. They did and offered to call me later as I didn’t have my bank card to hand. The lady I spoke to rang me back at the time she said she would. Perfect. Wish I’d got her name but very good customer service. Thank you
When I had a suspension spring break they were brilliant in arranging recovery and the recovery agent, who was there within 30 minutes, was very professional. I rate them very highly but agree with previous comments about admitting liability. Whilst I couldn't possibly endorse fraudulent claims, perhaps being a bit economic with the truth might have helped here.
