Affiliates &
Certifications
AAA Approved Auto Repair
All AAA members receive a 10% discount on parts and labor charges up to $50.00. AAA approves less than 5% of all automobile repair shops in Southern California. That is because most auto repair shops cannot hold up to the scrutiny their investigation and inspections demand. AAA looks into our credentials, our equipment, our technicians’ abilities and certifications, and they even check with the state to see if we have violations or complaints on record. We are subject to surprise inspections from AAA representatives and graded on a multitude of categories. Associated Automotive Service maintains AAA expectations and is proud we have their approval.
ASE Certified Technicians
We employ ASE certified technicians and are diligent about keeping up with the latest technology by consistently attending new training classes and seminars to stay in tune with the ever-changing automotive industry.
