Issue with Garage / AA came up trumps

I had a issue with a AA Standards Garage, I purchased a car, only to have issues straight away with it, I had an independent check carried out on the car, and the car had numerous issues, to rectify would be over £1000, i spoke with the garage, and they did not seem interested, I told them the car needed to go back to them, and as 110 mile away, I had to pay a transporting company to come to collect and return the car, also the cost of the independent Check, Garage told me to take another car to the same value, nothing my son liked so I asked for my money back, even though I would loose out on the costs already incurred, Garage not interested and said take him to court, I went to the Ombudsman / Trading Standards through Citizens Advise - not interested, so as an AA Standards Garage, I contacted them, they were great from the outset, and took all details and pursued this for me, contacting the dealer and acting on my behalf, after 3 to 4 weeks no joy, so they told the Garage they would loose the affiliation with the AA, this motivated the Garage, who repaid me the value of the car, My thanks to Verity Lowe for chasing this Daily, and mailing / calling me with updates, I thought it was a lost cause, and Court it would have to be, Great Service from the AA

Excellent

Excellent, turned up quickly and I was a low priority call. The person who turned up (Dean) was friendly and helpful and took the time to try and fix the problem and although it couldn't be fixed roadside, he made sure I got to a local garage safely and gave me a lift home! Excellent service, thank you

I honestly don't think I would have got anything done to the car I had just bought, was it not for Vicki.
My anxiety about the whole situation was tended to, with care and compassion.
I understand it's just a mediation service, but it's much more than that. I know I couldn't have dealt with the dealership without having issues. So to say I am extremely grateful, is an understatement.
I'm hoping the dealership will be removed from being an AA accredited dealer, but..who knows how it will turn out.

I Had (and still do) an issue with a trader who is currently affiliated with AA cars. Made a complaint through AA as they try and mediate/help to resolve issues with traders. Verity at AA has been great from the start. Keeping me informed at each stage and really tried to work with myself and the trader to get the issue resolved. I really appreciated her help and how professional she was throughout.

I've had a nightmare with a dealer who thought it would be OK to sell me a car with undeclared prior damage.

They refused to issue me with a refund despite having clear evidence from my mechanic.

I noticed that the dealer is AA approved and so decided to raise a complaint. My mediator, Hayley has gone above and beyond, keeping me updated throughout the process. She managed to get an ACE court approved inspection raised, which confirmed that the vehicle was of an unsatisfactory quality.

The dealer had no choice but to issue me with a refund, and Hayley has kept in communication and made sure that I received my refund promptly.

Massive thanks to the AA mediation service and especially to Hayley, I couldn't have got this resolution without your help 👍

Impeccable Service

For the last 5 weeks I have been having some issues with a dealship worked through and today it has finally been resolved. This is through no fault of AAs as they have maintained an open line of communication throughout and unfortunately had to go through the same difficulties I did, in line with the complaint they were handling on my behalf.

My mediator Verity was incredible and I wanted to ensure she was recognised for this.

She is a highly tenacious, professional individual, fully committed to ensuring positive outcomes in every situation. Her approach was methodical and diligent, always maintaining clear and impeccable communication. From the moment I interacted with her, she reassured me at every step, ensuring I felt informed and supported throughout the entire process. Her ability to stay focused on solutions, while addressing concerns with patience and clarity, demonstrated her unwavering dedication to delivering the best results. I felt confident in her ability to navigate challenges, as she consistently went above and beyond to make sure things were handled efficiently and effectively.

Thank you Verity for everything!

Grace was very helpful with resolving and issue with the warranty cover that the garage offered

Grace was very helpful with resolving my complaint about the AA affiliated car garage we had purchased a vehicle from. She persistently contacted the garage until the issue was resolved and provided regular updates to keep me informed of the progress. Would recommend buying a vehicle from an AA approved garage just to gain the reassurance that they will back the customer if any issues arise.

I used the mediation service to resolve an issue with an AA approved car dealer who did not meet the standards expected. Grace Jones was my contact and kept in touch as promised, by email and telephone, without fail. She managed to liaise with the dealer and achieve an offer of funds towards a repair that was present at the time of purchase. Despite the dealer being adamant that they would not assist me, Grace managed to resolve the matter to my satisfaction in a professional, friendly manner.

Mediation service

I had need of the AA’s mediation service to get back money from a dealer who sold me a car that failed to meet with the terms of the contract. I dealt with Verity, who was completely on the ball, very professional and clearly dedicated to getting the results needed. She made sure that we were kept informed at every step. I can’t fault her or the service provided by the AA at all!

Unreliable. Not trustworthy

Can give a zero star if I could.

Needed to chase every day to get a response. Been given wrong update and rude replies from different lazy unbothered staffs.
Their garage was not skilled but ready to charge you for their company without doing the actual work.

Unreliable. Think twice before dealing with them
