AA Motoring recently launched its AA Preferred Dealer Network with 26 high quality, licensed Motor Vehicle Traders.

The Network is a select group of dealers which the AA has taken through a thorough review and selection process. The vehicles in their yards have been through a series of checks conducted by the AA, and offer a level of service which the AA back and trust.

AA Motoring intends to keep growing the AA Preferred Dealer Network to help motorists nationwide have extra confidence when choosing their next used car.

The majority of the vehicles in an AA Preferred Dealer Network yard will have been through the following AA checks:

• AA Odometer Verified window sticker (freshly imported vehicles )
• AA Entry Compliance
• AA Appraisal (a minimum of 80% of vehicles available through the dealership must be AA Appraised)
• AA Warrant of Fitness

Some of the AA stickers to look out for

“The Network is a select group of dealers, which we have taken through a thorough review and selection process over the past few months,” says AA Motoring Services General Manager Jonathan Sergel.

“The vehicles in their yards have not only been through a series of checks by the AA; they also offer a level of service which we back and trust.”

The Network of dealers are currently found in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Mt Maunganui, Napier, Wellington and Christchurch.

“We’re delighted to have signed up dealers in several major centres,” Jonathan says. “This is just the beginning: we’re excited to keep growing our Network, so we can help motorists nationwide have extra confidence when choosing their next car. And it is great to have a range of dealers join the program selling a full range of New Zealand new and imported vehicles of all values.

“As a trusted and expert motoring voice, AA Members and motorists often ask us for dealer recommendations,” Jonathan says.

“Now they simply need to go to aa.co.nz/preferred or call us on 0800 500 333 to get our personal recommendation for quality dealers in their area.”

The Network is free to join and comes with several benefits, such as AA Motoring Preferred Dealer branding on dealers’ signage and digital channels, and promotion to AA Members.
