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."
