Just seen this on another forum:
"I had a problem with our van two weeks ago and had to use our service with ADAC, all went well with the call for help, spoke to a few guys and got sorted, they told me the AA would ring me and sort out my problem. the guy from the AA was there in 35 mins and befor he did anything he told me I only had basic cover and a recovery home was not possible, a local garage would be my only option. I was 20 mile from home and have my own garage and asked him to tow me there mostly on duel carriageway, sorry was the reply local garage only, I did get him to tow start me as it was a starter motor problem and I then drove home.
I have spoken to ADAC since and they have confirmed that a recovery to home is now not possible in the UK,
she said it would be better for me to use a UK recovery service as well as ADAC, so I am now looking for the best deal for me with a 3 ton van 5.5 mts long, any ideas please?"
..... If I had been in Europe they would have taken me home if it could not be repaired, I was told all the recovery partners ADAC use in Europe don't have a problem with this, apart from the AA.
This is disturbing news for us that have relied on them in the past. Anyone else heard about this change?
