To be named an Approved Auto Repair facility, the garage must employ Automotive Certified or factory-trained technicians in each area of service it offers, satisfaction scores above 90% maintained for an entire year, have a proven community reputation, maintain a clean, organized appearance, and meet minimum insurance requirements.

After approval, each shop is inspected quarterly and must undergo annual program recertification. An AAR facility must guarantee its repair work for 24 months or 24,000 miles.
