Even people I know who work for the AA think that other companies offer a better service nowadays.
In fact, they're just hoping for a 'Golden handshake' before the whole organisation goes down the pan
Sider:
From people I know who work for the Highways Agency, Green Lane (Direct Line's own) is the best option.

Well I expected to get nailed with a huge wait back in March when I called the RAC, having had a wheel-bearing sieze whilst on my own and towing a 6m caravan. Bottom of the priority list I figured, plus difficult combination of vehicles (heavy Disco plus caravan). Nope, the correct flat-bed was with me in 35 minutes and even had the bits and pieces to drive my 12v caravan lights properly and the route to my house programmed in !!
Someone I knew who ran a small garage in North Wales said that it's _where_ you break down that really matters, that's what effects how long they take to get to you. His garage was doing recoveries for all of the companies, so whoever you were with you'd get him if you were nearby :)
I dropped the AA a few years ago after a similar experience though, when they first stopped using just their own patrols/vehicles. Once you're into franchised recovery operations you might as well just use whoever's cheapest - for us (joint cover, any vehicle) that's been the RAC for about 3 years now.
Cheers, Si
