### Positives

- It has a review page on [Trustpilot](https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.theaa.com).

Important context: Truth Signal weighs public evidence about this business. A high score means strong evidence that the business is established and legitimate, not a promise that it is safe to buy from or that every purchase will go well. A low score means the evidence is thin or raises concerns, not that the business is unsafe or a scam.

## How the customers' Total rating is worked out

Bayesian average: 7 reviews at 3.5 stars added, so a few reviews move it less. The 7 added reviews at 3.5 stars are the weighting Trustpilot publishes for its TrustScore. With this business's figures:

(7 × 3.5 + 2 × 2 (SmartCustomer) + 5 × 4 (Reviews.io) + 4.8 × 153,446 (App Store)) ÷ (7 + 153,452) = 4.8, to one decimal place
