To assist independent workshops in debunking the “urban myth” that you must get your car serviced at an authorised dealership and use only “genuine” parts or you’ll risk voiding your new car warranty, the AAAA has produced a series of guides:
- The Truth About Genuine Parts
- The Truth About New Car Servicing
- The Truth About Capped Price Servicing
- The Truth About Vehicle Modifications
These guides are part of the AAAA Choice of Repairer initiative. This is a member driven campaign designed to help protect consumer choice and advocate for fair competition in the car service, repair and modification sector. The guides present the facts clearly and simply to educate consumers. They give independent workshops the confidence to have useful and informative conversations with their customers.
