WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO ACHIEVE THE AAA APPROVED AUTO REPAIR DESIGNATION?
5 KEY QUALIFICATIONS

 

  1. The facility must employ ASE-certified or factory-trained technicians in each area of service it offers
  2. Approved shops must have a proven community reputation. This is determined by a financial report, a consumer protection agency report, and a customer satisfaction survey.
  3. The facility has to maintain a clean, professionally organized appearance - inside and out. Customer areas are always clean and comfortable.
  4. The shop must meet minimum insurance requirements for the protection of its customers and their cars.
  5. After approval, each shop is inspected quarterly and must undergo annual program recertification.
