What does a AAA Approved Auto Repair Shop or AAR entail?

AAA not only works to provide roadside assistance and on-call help when caught in emergency situations but also wants to ensure that your vehicle is always receiving high-quality maintenance and care. An approved AAA auto repair shop is indicated with a sign in front saying, “Approved Auto Repair.” It is not only staffed with certified ASE technicians that are guaranteed to be reviewing and repairing your vehicle, but there are further standards of excellence and service an approved AAA auto repair shop or AAR facility must meet.

To be an AAA Shop

To be an AAR Shop, a shop must maintain a high-quality level of cleanliness, honest and fair pricing on all repairs big or small, as well as devoted, communicative customer service. They are contracted to perform these standards and underwent AAA's intensive inspection, verification, and requirement process to prove they are capable of always providing such service. These standards not only include customer service and ASE certifications, but on a technological side AAA requires a AAA Auto Repair Shop to provide and maintain the highest level of computerized resources including advanced computerized diagnostics for accuracy, speed, and quality assurance along with strict environmental regulations because to be an Approved Auto Repair facility, safety is of the utmost importance for the sake of the customers, the auto technicians, and the customers’ vehicles, so proper standardized waste disposal must be adhered to.
