4 1/2 hours wait after repeated untruthful advice from call centre. Originally told 1 1/2 hours, then when called back after 2 hours they said another 1/2 hour. This was repeated on 3 successive calls over the ensuing hours until they finally arrived after 4 1/2 hours. Our breakfown was in Waltom on Thames, a highly populated area near to the M25 and within reach of numerous recovery companies, but for some reason our recovery vehicle had been ordered from a company based over 40 miles away in Borehamwood! Ridiculous to wait this long for help, but worse than this was the totally unacceptable repeated untruthfulness of the call centre staff. I shall not be renewing my subscription and shall return to the AA. You get what you pay for.

GEM Motoring Assist! First time I have ever made a call for assistance and I get charged by them £48 to call out a recovery trailer, Complained to First Assist on 1st February been told they would reply by 24th February . Nothing arrived so I contacted them again they said could take up to end of March before they can offer an explanation! Motoring Assist may be the name but not in practice for this family:(

An awful experience from GEM. I had to wait well over an hour having being told wrongly on a number of occasions by your call centre that the mechanic was just around the corner when he wasn't. When he arrived the mechanic was clearly in a rush, said he was outside of his area and although started the car simply said its the starter motor and quickly drove off. I called your call centre back and said what happens if the car stops again. I was abruptly told that I needed to get the car to a garage immediately and I was not covered for another call out. I mentioned I was not happy with the service and that my renewal is due this month. Your call centre person was not interested and hung up. Overall a very bad experience and I will not be renewing mine or the other 3 GEM memberships I have with you. Now that I have looked elsewhere you are not even competitive anymore as the RAC match your price for the same service.
