August 24, 2021 – AAA Inspected powered by SureSale, a new program that helps consumers buy quality used cars with confidence, is now available at Oklahoma City Volkswagen, 4710 NW 39^th St, the first dealer in the city to offer it.

AAA Inspected includes a multi-point vehicle inspection coupled with an onsite evaluation by an independent automotive technician. The result is a comprehensive accounting of a vehicle’s past history, current condition and future performance. AAA Inspected is free to used car shoppers and can be accessed online or at the dealership via a QR code.

“For 100 years, Oklahomans have trusted AAA to keep them safely on the road, covering members with insurance, roadside assistance and more. With AAA Inspected, we’ve added quality pre-owned cars to the list,” said Keith McIntyre, AAA Inspected Program Manager, AAA Club Alliance. “Unlike commonly used industry reports, such as Carfax, which are limited to a vehicle’s past history, AAA Inspected utilizes the SureSale proprietary platform and network of qualified automotive technicians to tell the vehicle’s whole story – past, present and future.”

Car buyers can bypass the hassle of taking a vehicle to a mechanic, friend or family member to provide an objective opinion. “We’ve eliminated the need for that extra step when evaluating a used vehicle, while still providing a potential buyer with a third-party assessment of the vehicle’s quality,” commented McIntyre.

AAA research shows that its members place a higher value on vehicles that are independently inspected*, leading AAA and SureSale to partner to develop the service. To date, about 17 percent of the vehicles inspected at various dealerships have not earned the AAA Inspected vehicle rating.

AAA Inspected vehicles come with a limited warranty. Additional benefits, exclusive for AAA members, are also available. The program is currently available in Oklahoma and Kansas. Car buyers in those states can access AAA Inspected, powered by SureSale at AAA.com/Inspected.
