CALL ME BACKThe 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.
Automax in Port Elizabeth has joined the fast-growing list of dealerships that are partnering with the AA around the country to offer this service to its customers. In their 23 years of servicing Port Elizabeth, Automax has always taken pride in finding innovative ways to bring added value service to their customers. Making their decision to be partner with the AA on this initiative an easy one.
“This is an exciting partnership between the AA and Automax, the workshop partnership with the quality inspection will be an additional piece of mind for potential customers,” says the dealer owner Rolf Kickhöfel.
“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.
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.
