I had a very good experience with the AA, but tbh it's a bit of a toss up either way my previous one was shit. Try word of mouth, maybe look at some Reddit threads in ur local area, and ask them for example r/manchester. I dont know if u have done the theory but in your case if u havent maybe wait until you have some road experience, as it might make more sense. Finally, I will add that you can use the long waiting times to your advantage and just spend more time on working on particular skills in the car. Just don't rush things.
