Currently, 142 auto dealers and independent facilities in Minnesota participate in AAA's AAR program. To qualify, a repair facility must meet AAA's strict criteria for technician certification and customer satisfaction
Although the AAR program benefits all motorists by identifying superior auto repair shops, AAA members receive additional benefits from AAR facilities including a 12-month/12,000 mile warranty. In addition, AAA auto repair experts investigate and resolve any dispute involving an AAR facility and a AAA member.
AAA (www.aaa.com) offers automotive, travel, insurance and financial services to more than 45 million members in the United States and Canada. AAA Minnesota/Iowa is part of The Auto Club Group, with 4.1 million members in eight Midwest states.
