Testimonials

Trusted for 90+ Years

"I am impressed with the service I received from AA patrol. It’s a struggle to jumpstart my vehicle because you must take out the seat to jumpstart it; but the technician did it well. He gave a fantastic service, he knew what he was doing."

 

Mr Mervin Naidoo

"I would just like to thank the AA Emergency Contact Centre Agent, Kirsten Bantam, for a very professional service with the last four cases she dealt with for me. She went the extra mile to make sure the cases where finalised."

"I’ve relied on the AA since my 20s, and no other service compares. The team’s dedication, especially Comfort Mangwale and her colleagues, has made the AA my first choice for roadside assistance in South Africa. Thank you for your consistent excellence! I look forward to many more years of service with the AA."

"Yesterday we broke down on Republic. I called the AA. The call system took a few minutes but I finally got hold of Sipho. He told me I would be helped soon. In 30mins Thomas arrived with a flat bed and in no time, we were home. Service was magnificent! Many thanks."
