Last night on the way back from a restaurant in Collonges la Rouge the engine management light came on, in our son's car. This morning at around 11.00 he phoned his breakdown service - the AA. We were given an arrival time, and a good few minutes earlier than expected a British Yellow AA van arrived!
The AA now have a team of twelve British mechanics - two in Nantes, two in Bordeaux, two in Beziers, two in Nice, and four in Lyon. Our van came out from Bordeaux, via another job somewhere else.
He diagnosed the problem - with the spark plugs or the coils, and initially replaced the spark plugs, took the car out for a test drive, and then reported it running OK. He suggested our son took the car out, being more familiar with how it normally runs, and he was quite happy that the problem had been solved.
The mechanic also brought a set of coils out with him, just in case, but thought that they weren't needed. However, if there are any subsequent problems during the course of their holiday he will come back and fit them!
Fantastic service - everything sorted within a couple of hours, English spoken, everything familiar. It will be very reassuring to those who have worries about breakdowns in France, during the summer, that if you call out the AA anywhere except on the peage, that it's likely a British Yellow Van will turn up.
