About the AA and AA Trusted Dealerships

The AA (Always Ahead) is one of the UK’s most respected motoring organisations, known for its high standards in vehicle safety, reliability, and customer protection. When a dealership becomes an AA Trusted Dealer, it means they have met strict criteria designed to ensure customers receive a fair, transparent, and worry-free buying experience. This includes commitment to honest advertising, accurate vehicle descriptions, and offering cars that have passed comprehensive mechanical checks. AA Trusted Dealers also provide added reassurance through services such as free history checks, a minimum of 6 months’ MOT, and options for extended warranties. In essence, being an AA Trusted Dealer is a mark of credibility and professionalism, signalling to customers that the dealership operates with integrity, quality, and customer care at the forefront.
