How do I verify that what a dealership offers re warranty is legit?

Specifically: AA Approved and AA Roadside Assistance provided and12 Months AA Unlimited Mileage Warranty is offered.

I rang AA to confirm but they couldn't help much.

He only mentioned it. I have just emailed now looking for confirmation to get it in writing.

I’d imagine you’ll get a warranty document or a confirmation email?

As far as I know not every dealer can provide AA products. They have to be AA approved to do so.

Think the warranty has to be from an approved garage. Know several dealers that give the breakdown cover, it's specific to the car & has to be registered by the dealer. Dealer doesn't have to be AA approved to buy that. It means even if the car is out of guarantee it has to go back to selling garage if it has to be recovered.

Got an email back from the dealership:

"The warranty covers the car like an extended manufactures except the main hybrid battery that Bmw covers, the infotainment system and the Egr valve are not coverd, other than that it a comprehensive AA warranty for 1 year unlimited mileage."

Not very comprehensive as they are claiming then.

AA warranty comes with an official document with car reg and details and applicable dates and also included reference to Roadside cover also.

This is only issued by dealers who are AA approved so my advice would be to check out the dealer to see that they are AA approved. If so, they are not going to be issuing a dud warranty.

All these warranties have alot of items not covered but tbh, I'd say the AA warranty is better than car protect or mapfre from my research previously.

Is there a place to check the list of AA approved dealerships in Ireland? I can't seem to find anything on the AA website?

Just saw that, don't think that's a complete list.

Someone told me there is an approved repairer network (as opposed to approved dealer) being set up but it's ongoing at present. That would have been common in UK but a fairly new thing here.

Just saw on the AA site:

“We’re currently updating our AA Appointed Garages network. Please check back later for further updates”

I have AA cover linked with new Hyundai cars. I didn't get any confirmation letter or document to say the same. But when I rang AA, told me the cover is there and linked with the car number plate rather than the owner.

I upgraded to Hyundai Assist Plus with €40 a year & now puncture is covered also.
