Autohaven dealership in Hermanus
The Automobile Association (AA) launched an innovative service with independent vehicle dealerships and AA Approved workshops across the country to provide consumers with credible information on pre-owned vehicles they intend purchasing. Through the service, dealerships can offer an AA 125-point inspection of vehicles and thereby provide a comprehensive report on the vehicle to prospective buyers.
Consumers across South Africa will be able to access this service at all dealerships that display the AA Certified Pre-Owned branding.
Autohaven in Hermanus has joined the fast-growing list of dealerships that are partnering with the AA around the country that will be offering this service to its customers. The Wiid family who own the dealership have been in the business of selling pre-owned cars for over 35 years offering their customers a great variety of entry level to luxury pre-owned vehicles at competitive prices.
“In developing this product and service, the AA along with our brand partner AA Warranties, recognised that we can offer support to independent dealerships while providing the motoring public a valuable and credible service that enhances the selling and purchasing experience,” says Willem Groenewald, AA CEO.
Critically, the inspection process does not offer a “pass” or “fail” assessment of a vehicle. Instead, it provides a report which states the “facts” of the vehicle at the time of assessment.
“We are very excited, and we look forward to partnering with AA South Africa and AA Warranties to offer our clients extra peace of mind with an AA 125 check on all vehicles purchased from us,” says the dealer owner.
The AA is engaging with independent dealerships across the country regarding the AA Certified Pre-Owned accreditation. The intention is to have a minimum of 150 dealerships in South Africa offering the service in the next two years.
