Green Flag
Originally started back in 1971 as a network of garages (was called National Breakdown Recovery Club) and has now developed into the recognised brand of Green Flag. Now owned and run by the insurance provider "Direct Line", part of the RBS group. With over 4 million users, sometimes call out times can be quicker, if near a local garage.
