Pros

Always available overtime can make good money if you don’t like your family.

Cons

Poorly run business that only cares about SMR. The only breakdown company in the country that’s scared of recovering cars. Unrealistic performance figures and office based staff that are useless. Rather than fixing problems it’s easier just to blame patrols. Pay rise/ reviews are embarrassing. No progression unless you live in Birmingham or love brown nosing.

Pros

I’m approaching 20 years with the business, and I can honestly say it’s still as rewarding and challenging as it was when I first started. The journey has been incredible — I’ve progressed through numerous roles, each offering new opportunities to grow, learn, and contribute in meaningful ways. What sets this company apart is the genuine scope for development. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take the next step in your career, there’s always room to evolve. The environment is fast-paced and dynamic, which keeps things exciting and ensures you're constantly learning. The brand itself is fantastic — strong, respected, and built on values that truly resonate with me. It’s a place where hard work is recognised, innovation is encouraged, and people are genuinely passionate about what they do. If you're looking for a career that challenges you, supports your growth, and gives you a sense of purpose, I couldn’t recommend this company more highly.

Cons
