Very good service, with regular phone calls to check on Progress of recovery. As it was a motorcycle had to wait nearly 2 hours until a specialist recovery was arranged, but understand that. Only reason for 4 stars.

As always GEM have provided excellent assistance when our car would not start. Recovery vehicle arrived within 60 minutes. Luckily the mechanic was able to get the car going. GEM checked that the mechanic had arrived. The claim service is good. Great service.

My daughter drove a Mile from our house and the car flagged up flat tyre. Managed to return home and used the app to summon help. Help arrived within an hour and she was kept informed throughout. Technician excellent - pumped up the tyre and gave advice as to next step to get on the road.

Used the app for the first time to report my breakdown and was very efficient and quick process. A lot quicker than telephoning. E & S Motors were despatched as the contractor and arrived within 30 minutes. The operative was polite, professional and knowledgeable. Started my car no problem. Would recommend.

With my husband in hospital I was desperate for my car to be safe. The mechanic went above and beyond with his help and kindness and I am very grateful. Would highly recommend GEM.

It's the first time we have had to use GEM and we had such a positive service. Having broken down on the A30, our car had completely died, after having a conversation with the GEM representative, we were met by a brilliant technician within the time stated. Our car was not repairable at the scene so we were driven with car to the nearest recovery garage at Hillfield at Oakhapmpton. The service provided was second to none. As our car was not repairable we were able to "borrow" a car to continue our journey back to the West Midlands. Just a few days later our car was delivered to us and the borrowed car was returned. I fully recommend GEM and the service we received was excellent. Thank you so much.

I’ve only recently joined GEM (based on the 5* reviews, but you never really know until you’ve experienced something yourself, do you?) then was been unlucky enough to have had TWO burst tyres in the past three weeks. The service I received on both occasions was outstanding in every way. Not only getting to me quickly (less than half an hour the second time, when I was stuck at the side of a busy main road). I was also called several times during each call-out to check that I was ok (single woman, etc). I’d been unhappy with the firm I’d used previously (I’d had a breakdown and they said it wasn’t covered) so wanted total cover and peace of mind this year. Worth every penny of the premium. I feel really reassured that should I need another call-out I’ll be well looked after. Five star service. Thank you GEM (and no, I don’t know anyone who works for them, lol!).

Attended at the stated time but couldn't transport because the garage shut on Sat night. Breakdown to garage 1st thing Mon. Alas garage initially thought they couldn't find fault but GEM willing to retrailer to dealer. The garage eventually found fault in time and BKdown was not needed. GEM helpful at all times. Most satifying service during a trying time.

My electric car broke down on a busy roundabout in Bakewell Derbyshire. GEM arrived within 45 minutes of it being arranged with their call centre, loaded the car onto their vehicle and took myself, my passenger and the car to the Fiat dealership in Derby. Brilliant service. Thank you.
