“Perfect service. Breakdown vehicle arrived within the hour. Very helpful phone operator who arranged recovery for my car. The only small issue was the identification of my car as it is a kitcar and is not recognised on DVLA website. Overall very pleased with the service from GEM and the recovery driver. My car was repaired the following day.”

“Absolutely excellent, efficient and sympathetic staff on the phone, the recovery driver was so kind and thoughtful. We couldn't have asked for better service during a stressful breakdown with our two small grandsons in the car on a wet and windy day. thank you GEM.”

“Waited an hour for the breakdown guy to arrive. He jump started my car without looking for a reason as to why my car had a 'flat battery'. Told me my car would be charged enough by the time I had got home (10 mile journey). I had to visit the supermarket in my home town so I parked where I would not cause any problem to other shoppers if my car would not start again. I returned to my car after approx 15 mins and it was no surprise to find it would not start again. Waited another hour for the recovery vehicle to arrive (same guy as before), this time he actually looked at the car a little more closely and found one of the leads to the battery was broken and that was the reason the car would not start. If he had taken the trouble to find the cause of the problem when he first came to my assistance, I would not have broken down a second time and got home late and freezing cold! I was not impressed.”

“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:(”

“From the initial call through my wife found the person on the phone to be extremely helpful and understanding of her situation. The guy who came to her assistance was very polite and very thorough with the problem with the car and although no action was required to remedy the cars problem he then followed her to our local garage in case the initial problem re occurred. Overall, our first time using this service and we are very impressed.”

“I been using G. E. M. as a customer for a number of years but fortunately not for an actual breakdown. The cover appears to be good value and any dealings with the organization the staff have been pleasant and efficient.”

“I would highly recommend GEM .We have used the breakdown a couple of times and have never had to wait long with excellent service. The price is competitive however all discounts always seem to be for new customers.Loyalty is not rewarded”

“Brilliant service, the agent who dealt with my call was efficient, friendly and concerned making sure I was safe. Phoned me back telling me who would be coming out to me and when to expect them. Apologising about the length of the wait and again ensuring I was safe. The recovery company Twigg Brothers of Sheffield arrived 40 minutes ahead of schedule phoning me before they arrived. Within 15 mins I was on my way home. I even got a phone call from GEM to ensure everything I was OK. Brilliant service thank you.”

“After a pleasant drive into North Yorkshire, there was suddenly a screaming sound and smoke pouring from under the bonnet of my car. This was a Sunday evening, so I was a bit dubious as to whether we would get some help. One phone call to Gem; breakdown truck turned up exactly at the time he said it would. Problem was the air con unit that had seized. This could not be repaired at the road side so we and the car were taken home on the low loader. The cost of this would have been approx double my annual fee to Gem, so I was very pleased with the whole procedure.”

“Fortunately i didn't have any breakdowns over the course of my first year with GEM so i didn't have to call them out . What i can say though is that they provided me with some good cover , as i needed to cover myself on my day to day car (Ford Fiesta) , 1970 VW camper van and my beloved Vespa scooter . I signed up happily for a second years cover .”
