Has anyone out there experienced long waits for patrol to attend a breakdown?
We had a flat battery one evening, fortunately we were at home, as the eta was creeping up to 1am we cancelled the call out.
The following morning we called again - it took 6hours for a patrol to get to us.
RAC response to complaint - unprecedented number of breakdowns.

Sorry not trying to be snarky but why did you need to call them out for a flat battery if you were at home??

Unless you had their battery replace cover I guess, so they could replace it for free?

@Joolz123 yep 7 hours for a flat tyre and that wasn’t even the worst

@Drivingforfun
The battery was under RAC warranty and we took out at home cover to deal with such eventualities - difficult to get anywhere to get a new battery when your car won’t start.
