smart Takes The Stress Out Of Vehicle Breakdowns
Published: 17th June 2004
The AA is so confident in the ability of its nationwide patrol force to repair broken down vehicles that it is now making a unique breakdown promise to its personal members – "To fix your car by the road or get you another".
The guarantee means that, in the unlikely event a quick repair at the roadside is not possible, AA personal members could be offered one of 180 specially AA-branded smart fortwo models, to complete their journey and keep on the move with minimal fuss.
Kerry Richardson, Director of AA Road Services says: "On those occasions where we can’t fix their faulty cars, we are determined to keep our members on the move. Providing them with a smart will go a long way to remove the terrible stress and inconvenience breaking down can bring."
Jeremy Simpson, head of smart in the UK and Ireland, said: "We are delighted to be a part of the AA’s new promise to motorists. The smart fortwo is the perfect car to relieve the stress from a breakdown situation; it’s both practical and fun to drive at the same time, and the fact that the leading breakdown organisation has chosen smart is a testament to its reliability."
All AA personal members will be offered this flexible 24-hour service if their car cannot be fixed, allowing them to either collect a courtesy car following a breakdown, or within 72 hours at their convenience.
The smart fortwo range is available from smart retailers, starting from £6,810 on the road.
