Great mediation

The dealership had completely stopped responding to me and after reaching out to the AA, Laura was able to step in as mediator and restart talks to move us toward a resolution

More interested in appeasing the dealer…

More interested in appeasing the dealer than the customer. Took around 6-7 weeks from when I made initial complaint. Dealer had my car for around a month only changed a hose and a coolant cap. Arranged and agreed certain issues via email and these were not upheld. I gave two stars instead of one purely for there was frequent communication to myself.

Laura Baker - AA Mediation Manager

I’m pleased to share a positive review of my experience working with Laura to resolve a dispute. Throughout the entire mediation process, Laura consistently provided clear and timely updates, communicated with the utmost professionalism, and went above and beyond to successfully achieve a favorable outcome for both parties.

What a poor company

What a poor company. They give the impression of a professional outfit that vets their dealer network, but when a simple issue arises pre sale they don't bother to reply to your query. Goodness knows what they'll do if you have a serious issue with one of their approved dealers or vans!

Incredible Mediation Service by Hayley Mills

I reached out to The AA Cars for help with mediation with an ongoing dispute with a dealership. Hayley Mills was appointed my mediator at the end of April and from start to finish showed extreme professionalism and attentiveness to the case. Her communication is excellent and she was quick to respond to me when I had a query. I would highly recommend The AA for their mediation process and if you are lucky enough to be appointed Hayley, you're in good hands. Thank you so much.

Review for Abigail (AA Websites)

Review for Abigail (AA Websites)

Working with Abigail has been an absolute pleasure. From the moment we connected, she’s shown a level of care and attentiveness that’s rare to come by. She’s gone above and beyond to ensure that my business not only gets the website it needs, but that every detail — from branding to backend setup — is handled with precision.

Her communication has been clear, proactive, and genuinely supportive. It’s clear that she cares about the success of her clients, not just ticking boxes. Getting my account set up smoothly and efficiently has been a huge help, and her guidance has made the entire process feel straightforward.

Massive thanks to Abigail — highly recommend her if you’re serious about getting your dealership online the right way.

Great Mediation Service

Laura Baker from the AA’s mediation team was wonderful. She was very supportive and understanding of our situation. It was much easier to communicate with the dealership through her and we were able to secure compensation. Thanks Laura!

Above & Beyond Customer Service

Having purchased a car from an AA approved retailer and having had a litany of issues, Verity at AA Customer Service has gone above and beyond to ensure everything is dealt with. Not only is she a pleasure to speak to, she is organised and professional. She does what she commits to in the timeframe she commits to and keeps me updated at every step - a rare skill these days. If more companies employed more Verity's life would be a whole heap better.

AA cars arbitration

AA cars arbitration became involved mid December 2024. The case was consigned to Victoria Greenwood. The franchisee was very difficult to communicate with but due to Victoria's persistence, after 228 days, we finally gained remuneration towards our repair costs. The approved dealer in question, in our opinion, is not worthy off AA recognition.

Tania Richardson is our contact from AA cars and dealer partner.
She is an asset to us and really does help, when we need it, which isn’t often.
But the important thing for me is when I need her, she is there. Can’t ask more than that !

DO NOT BUY ANY CARS FROM Drayton Car World

I initially believed that AA Cars ensures the legitimacy of the car dealerships listed on their platform. However, I purchased a car from Drayton Car World (also known as USG Motor Ltd) on 24th April 2025, and just two days later, I discovered serious issues with the vehicle, including engine faults, an oil leak, and gearbox problems.

When I contacted the dealer to address these faults, they refused to accept the car back or even communicate with me. This experience has left me extremely disappointed and frustrated.

I question how AA Cars allows such dishonest dealers to sell their vehicles through their platform. I bought the car under the impression that AA Cars vets and checks the dealerships they list, but my experience suggests otherwise.

Please do not trust the AA Cars website blindly. I have lost £10,300 on a faulty vehicle, and I am willing to provide proof that I purchased from AA Cars and that the dealer was Drayton Car World / USG Motor Ltd.

Grace was professional

Grace was professional, calm, and incredibly helpful throughout a stressful dispute with a dealer. She kept communication flowing, explained my options clearly, and helped push the process to a fair outcome. Really grateful for her support.
