Support from AA

I was sold a faulty car and was having trouble with the dealership trying to get a refund so reached out to AA. Verity Lowe got in touch with me very quickly asked for the details and mediated between me and the dealership, within a matter of days she has arranged the refund. In such a stressful time I can’t thank her enough for how swiftly she resolved the matter but also her kindness and reassurance throughout the whole process. If you are looking at a car make sure they are AA standard as you will also be getting the support should anything happen.

AA Approved is a lie, it means nothing at all

Have been looking for a new car, kept seeing AA approved sellers popping up which I thought was a good thing to begin with. After reading the AA's info on their "approved" scheme it turns out they just sell their name to garages and car dealers to make them seem more trustworthy. The AA don't guarantee in anyway that said car dealer or garage is actually any good, or follows any of the processes outlined by the AA, or that they ever followed any of the processes. But the dealer told the AA once that they do it all, so no worries I guess.

We got our deposit back, thank you Grace

My husband Artur contacted AA Cars when a dealer we wanted to buy a car from messed us about and then refused to give us our deposit back. AA Cars got back to us very quick, Artur was talking to Grace who provided an outstanding mediation and we eventually got our deposit back. We didn't have much hope getting the money back but Grace was amazing, she was informing us about every step, we can't thank her enough. I highly recommend AA Cars mediation service

Outstanding mediation service

This 5 star rating is for Hayley at AA Cars who provided an outstanding mediation service, enabling a full refund for a car with serious quality issues from a dealer with very poor after sales service. Hayley's persistence and regular, clear communication has been very much valued.

Tenacious in bringing the garage to task!

I had a bad experience with a car dealer and didnt know where to turn for help.
I contacted the AA and their arbitration service was amazing!
They understood my complaint and were tenacious in taking the garage to task !
Even though it took several months they didn’t give up and kept me informed of progress throughout the process.
Can’t thank them enough, you know who you are Miss GJ, thank you from the bottom of my heart x

Verity has been persistent and very professional.

Verity has been professional and has kept me informed throughout. She persistently pushed the dealer to respond to her questions and they eventually agreed to pay back the money owed to me. I did not expect the dealer to pay because they had been less than truthful throughout. Had they not agreed to pay, I would still have rated the service Verity provided as 5 stars.

Excellent service delivery by Verity

Verity at AA Cars pursued our grievance in an extremely professional manner and updated us regularly if not daily. Verity's work meant that a fair outcome was delivered saving us significant costs and restoring our faith in the motor industry.

The AA cars are backing up scammers and thieves.
AUTO ATLAS located in Leighton Buzard is a scam!
They lie and deceive you.

The AA do not inspect these cars and will not help you in any way when you will purchase a car advertised from these scammers.

AA mediation service…

I contacted the he AA mediation service when I returned a car I had bought due to various faults. The dealer was being difficult despite my returning the car within the 30 day period agreed.
Hayley the AA mediator over several weeks of patient negotiation was able to secure my refund.

I cannot thank her enough for securing the positive outcome and not have to go through the small claims court process to get the refund.

Honestly blown away by their service.

I was so so worried after being scammed on a car, and the company not returning the full amount of money.

Within a day I was contacted by Victoria Greenwood, who put my mind at ease, and essentially resolved the whole matter independently.

I got the rest of my money back within a week.

Very happy.

Very friendly and helpful

My case handler Verity, had a lovely personality, great communication with me and was very knowledgeable. She tried her best, called me almost every day to update on her attempts at contact with Wokingham car centre, although she was unsuccessful, but that wasn't her fault as WCC mostly ignored her emails and calls even hanging up on her in the end. Advised me to take legal action.
