Alan Boswell Group Platinum Trusted Service Award

A breakdown can happen to anyone at any time – and it’s not just old, unreliable cars that can breakdown. Punctures and flat batteries are the two biggest culprits of a call-out and they can happen to any car, new or old.

The cost of a call-out can be very high and with many recovery services you’ll just get towed to the nearest garage for a repair.

Alan Boswell Group recommend breakdown cover through Call Assist. Call Assist repair more than 75% of vehicles at the roadside, and over 95% of customers would recommend them after a breakdown.
