Who we are
The strength of A1 Automotive Group lies in the collective power of its independent members. By combining our purchasing power, industry knowledge, and expertise, we provide vital support tailored to the unique needs of independent factors and retailers.
Since our founding in 1983, A1 has evolved from a marketing group into a comprehensive automotive aftermarket buying and distribution network, uniting motor factors and retailers across the UK. Entirely owned by our members, every initiative we undertake is designed to boost members' profitability, enhance cash flow, and elevate their presence locally and nationally. Importantly, A1 membership supports independence, empowering each member while preserving their unique identity.
