We are that trusted as an AA garage, we take care of the AA fleet. Encountering a breakdown can be a stressful experience, but The AA's vehicle recovery service and Fastlane Autocare - Autocentres is here to help. Here are some frequently asked questions to provide clarity on how we can assist you as an approved partner with the AA.
Q: What does AA roadside assistance cover?
A: Many people search to understand exactly what’s included, like whether a roadside call-out, towing, or repair is part of the basic cover. It is best to check your policy, if you're not covered, Fastlane Autocare can help on 01744 808586.
Q: Can I use AA breakdown cover immediately after purchase?
A: It depends on your policy, if you are not immediately covered and you have sudden vehicle issue or break down in the North West, contact Fastlane Autocare who are AA approved to help on 01744 808586.
Q: Is my vehicle covered by AA breakdown if it’s a caravan or motorhome?
A: Not all polices cover this type of vehicle breakdown from the AA, however, we can help as an AA approved garage offering recovery, and motorhome and caravan repairs in the North West that come to you.
Q: What’s the difference between personal and vehicle breakdown cover?
A: You’re covered as a driver or passenger in any vehicle that breaks down.
It’s ideal if you regularly borrow, rent or drive different vehicles, or if family members frequently share cars. You can add others to your policy (joint or family cover) so multiple people are covered. Typically costs a bit more because the cover follows the person, not just a specific car.
Q: What do I do if I break down on a motorway?
A: If you break down on a motorway in the UK, the key is to get yourself and your passengers to a safe place as quickly as possible because it’s one of the most dangerous roads to stop on. Try to leave the motorway at the next exit or pull onto the hard shoulder or verge, stopping as far left as you safely can with your hazard lights on to warn other drivers. On smart motorways, aim for an Emergency Refuge Area (ERA) if one is nearby. Once stopped, if it’s safe to do so, exit the vehicle on the left‑hand side and move well behind any barriers or to a safe distance from traffic, and put on a high‑vis jacket for visibility. Then contact the AA to bring your vehicle to our North West vehicle repair centre or directly contact us on 01744 808586 or emergency services for help. If you can’t reach a safe spot or are stuck in a live lane, stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on, keep hazards on, and call 999 immediately. Following these steps helps protect you and lets specialists manage the situation safely.
Q: Does AA cover flat tyres or battery jump-starts at the roadside?
A: If you break down because your battery has gone flat and you have home start, an AA patrol will come out and attempt to jump‑start the battery so you can continue your journey. Similarly, if you have a flat tyre, the patrol will change it for you using your spare(or fit a temporary wheel if needed) so you can get to a garage for a proper replacement. If the patrol can’t fix the issue on the spot, they can arrange to tow your vehicle to a nearby garage under your level of cover. If you do not have Home Start, call us now on 01744 808586.
Q: How many breakdown call-outs do I get with AA cover?
A: With some AA breakdown cover in the UK, you can generally call the AA out as many times as you need during your policy year - this is usually described as unlimited call‑outsas long as it isn’t for the same recurring problem. If you can't get the AA out or you are having the same issue, simply call Fastlane Autocare directly who can offer mobile mechanic services across the North West and North Wales area.
Q: Does AA breakdown cover include Europe or just the UK?
A: AA breakdown cover in the UK only applies within the UK by default. If you want protection when driving in Europe, you must purchase European Breakdown Cover as an add‑on before you travel. Without this European cover, the standard UK policy won’t assist you if you break down abroad, meaning you’d have to organise and pay for help yourself.
Q - How do I request vehicle recovery assistance from The AA?
A - If you find yourself in need of vehicle recovery assistance, simply contact The AA's emergency helpline by phone or through The AA app. Provide details about your location, the nature of the breakdown, and any specific instructions for the recovery team. The AA will dispatch a recovery vehicle to assist you promptly. When you ask which approved centre you'd like to go to, choose Fastlane Autocare - Autocentres.
