AA Auto Service, at 8004 Avondale Way in Redmond, was named a AAA Top Shop.

AAA Washington evaluates every AAA-approved auto repair facility in Washington and northern Idaho to measure quality of repair work, customer service and overall shop cleanliness. From data collected through customer satisfaction surveys each year, the top-performing facilities are honored with a AAA Top Shop Award. Facilities that earn this honor typically have received customer satisfaction rates close to 100 percent during the last calendar year.

Before being eligible for a AAA Top Shop Award, each facility must meet the precise standards needed to be included in the AAA-approved auto repair network. AAA approval signifies a quality service guarantee from an auto repair facility that upholds strict requirements and offers a full range of services. AAA-approved auto repair facilities must meet or exceed AAA exacting standards regarding equipment and certified technicians, and have an excellent track record of customer satisfaction. They must offer a written estimate, return replaced parts (if requested in advance) and obtain approval before doing any work beyond the original estimate.
