Consumers across South Africa will be able to access this service at all dealerships that display the AA Certified Pre-Owned branding.
MMA Cars the first in KZN was launched in August joining the list of outlets to offer this service around the country. Driving past the dealership, one can visibly spot the AA Certified Pre-owned branding outside as a sigh that the dealership is ready to offer their customers the best service in terms of buying pre-owned cars.
“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 look forward to the growth opportunities and the strengthening of our business that will come with the association of a trusted brand like the AA. We only see positives for our clients through being able to offer these services to them and this made the decision to become an AA Certified Pre-Owned Dealership an offer that we could not miss,” says the dealership owner Mike McClelland.
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.
