The staff working here are just for easy money seems not doing their jobs to the best level and some even seems they don’t know exactly what they’re doing , What the heck this place has ruined.

Subject: Serious Concern Regarding Lack of Public Toilet Facilities at AA Manukau
Dear AA Management,
I would like to formally raise a complaint regarding the lack of public toilet facilities at the AA Centre in Manukau.
The Manukau branch serves hundreds of customers every day, and it is common for people to wait in queues for two to three hours before being served. Despite these long waiting times, there are no toilet facilities available for customers.
What makes the situation even more concerning is that if a customer leaves the queue to use a toilet elsewhere, they risk losing their place and having to start the waiting process again. This creates significant inconvenience and stress, especially for elderly people, pregnant women, parents with young children, and individuals with medical conditions.
It is difficult to understand why this major gap in customer service has not been addressed. While staff members have access to their own toilet facilities, members of the public are not allowed to use them. Instead, customers are directed to use the toilets at Pak'nSave, which may require leaving the premises and losing their place in the queue.
Directing customers to another business for such a basic necessity is unacceptable and reflects poorly on the customer experience. Access to toilet facilities should be considered a fundamental requirement when customers are expected to wait for extended periods.
I respectfully request that AA urgently review this issue and implement a suitable solution, such as providing public toilet access or introducing a queue management system that allows customers to temporarily leave the queue when necessary.
I hope management will take this matter seriously and act promptly to improve the experience for all customers visiting the Manukau branch.
Yours sincerely,
Public Read Less

We today visited the AA Manukau branch for an international driver’s licence conversion and had the pleasure of being assisted by Himesh.
Himesh was exceptionally friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions patiently. His calm and reassuring approach really put us at ease.
He also suggesting a suitable AA Membership upgrade for my husband, including available discounted rates, which we greatly appreciated.

What an awful place. The customer experience was just terrible. I just went in for an international drivers licence. After an hour cueing at the member counter I was told that the insurance people do that. So frustrated by that waste of time I went over to the insurance person who said he doesn't do it he would have to find someone that did. At that point I just have up and walked out. With a monopoly on the service I require I guess they can be slack but as a member I can decide whether I wish to continue to belong. Little wonder they score so low in customer reviews. Read Less

I love the AA on Cavendish. I came here to finally get my learners licence a month ago (I'm a very, very late bloomer) and when I went in to book, was served by a lovely older man. He was really friendly, and was really helpful with suggesting what resources to use. I picked up the new road code and he mentioned the practice tests you could take at home- they were a lifesaver! i went home fully equipped and all the necessary paperwork; I was really happy with the service I'd gotten that day. The following week, i took my test on a Friday morning. I was terribly early but there was heaps of seating available (as there would be at 8:30am). My test started right on time and everything went smoothly. I'm just really impressed with the staff here, they would have to deal with a lot of different issues and they manage to keep their cool the entire time.It can get pretty busy here because its a popular branch to book you practical driving tests, so there's always people waiting for them. There are a number of staff at the customer service desks so they tend to get through everyone fairly quickly. This has to be my favourite AA branch that I've visited; they've really got everything you need, and the excellent customer service is jut the cherry on top. Read Less
