RAC Comes Out Top For Breakdown Customer Service

A major new survey has revealed that RAC is number one for customer service amongst breakdown service providers in the UK.

The UK Customer Service Index (UKCSI), a national measure of customer service, asked 25,000 adults how well companies and organisations performed in key areas such as professionalism, quality and efficiency, ease of doing business, problem solving and timeliness.

RAC not only achieved a higher score than any other breakdown provider at 86 out of 100, but of the 156 UK businesses measured, RAC was ranked 5thoverall across all sectors including retail, services and automotive.

Neil Thompson, director of rescue service delivery RAC said: "I am immensely proud of this achievement; it is fantastic news for RAC as it clearly demonstrates our ability to deliver exceptional service to our members when they call us for help. RAC staff genuinely pride themselves on being the best customer service professionals in our industry. This is a clear indication of their level of professionalism not only because we are seen as the best in the Rescue and Recovery industry but also as one of the best customer service organisations in the UK."

Diesel dips below £2 a litre
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “While it’s positive to see the average cost of a litre of diesel dipping back below £2 a litre, we’re a long way from being out of the woods when it comes to high fuel prices. Diesel remains around 57p a litre higher than before the US/Iran conflict, and petrol 42p higher – meaning households are paying £31 and £23 more respectively every time they fill up a family-sized car. And as things stand, this year is still set to be the second most expensive year on record for drivers.

Diesel tops £2 a litre for first time ever
RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “This is a pump price threshold that no-one wanted to cross – the average price of a litre of diesel has risen to a record 200.01p and is showing no signs of slowing, heaping more misery onto motorists. The cost of filling up an average family car is now £110, almost £32 more than it was at the start of the US/Iran war. This will be very challenging for households and companies that drive a lot of miles, from commuters, haulage and delivery firms, businesses with large fleets all the way through to sole traders. In a cruel twist, it’s diesel vehicles, which were once considered the most cost-effective option for lengthy journeys, that are now burning a hole in people's pockets.
