The Angel Autoclub is one of the most popular in Moscow. The scope of his activities includes all kinds of assistance to drivers - both on the road and in technical services, etc. The Angels are easily recognizable by their recognizable logo and bright yellow cars. Despite its rather great popularity and high demand among urban motorists, not everyone knows what a club membership can give them.
The history of the car club "Angel" began in 1993. Then the specialists of this club were focused more on roadside assistance. Car enthusiasts called them if they needed repairs on the highway or evacuation of the car. The idea of such mobile assistants is not new - it came to Russia from abroad. After all, the road is often unpredictable. But in the early 90s for the Russian Federation, such assistance was new and very unusual. After all, the owners coped with domestic cars themselves, and foreign cars have just begun to appear.
At first, the cost of roadside assistance services for owners of club membership cards was 0. It was enough to buy a card and join the club to enjoy all the privileges.
What is the car club "Angel" doing today?
Naturally, today the range of responsibilities of the auto club has grown significantly. Other types of assistance to drivers were added to the already familiar evacuation and road repairs.
Car owners who have joined the club can use their own technical service "Angel". Here you can change tires and oil, as well as make more complex repairs, up to straightening and painting the body. "Angels" claim that only the most qualified specialists work for them, who are well versed in all kinds of breakdowns and can fix them quickly and reliably.
Also, a new service offered by the club's staff, "Defective Driver", has become very popular. It is suitable for those motorists who have decided to while away the evening in a pub or in a restaurant with a glass. After that, you cannot get behind the wheel, someone does not want to go by transport in the evening, someone is afraid, someone after gatherings in a restaurant cannot. Throwing a car is also not an option. In this case, it is enough to simply call the "Angels", who will tow home both the "faulty" driver and the serviceable car.
The service "Faulty driver" is not so cheap - about 3000 rubles. But in any case, this is less than if you get drunk behind the wheel and get caught by the traffic police. In addition, drunk driving is strictly prohibited.
It should be remembered that the services of members of the Angel club are distributed only on the territory of the Moscow region, ie. they provide roadside assistance within Moscow and the region.
