PAAA
The PAAA is the trade association that aims to look after the interests of the automotive aftermarket, and all of the companies, brands and individuals that work within it
The association was created by a group of influential decision makers from a range of market-leading companies to give the UK performance and tuning aftermarket industry a voice. Its members represent the major performance aftermarket manufacturers, distributors and retailers in the UK.
Its purpose is to promote a fair and open operating environment for the industry by providing a voice at National, European and – on occasions – worldwide level on legislative and commercial issues that may have an effect on how its member businesses trade, at home and overseas.
It also strives to work with law enforcement and government to ensure that products available through its members not only meet, but exceed all quality and safety requirements for road use.
The PAAA is currently made up of 60 members that represent manufacturers, importers and official distributors of well-established and trusted aftermarket brands in the UK. It is the only national body of its kind that operates within the performance and tuning aftermarket sector.
Companies within the PAAA adhere to a strict code of conduct and operate to the very highest standards of product quality and customer service. The association will also introduce its quality mark in 2023. As a quality standard that stands for ‘Safe Tuning and Responsible Modification’, the SMART mark aims to become the yardstick for the industry to be measured by.
