Worboys said the Automobile Association is unquestionably one of the most trusted brands in the country.
AA sees the importance of having a centre in Feilding and this is a great sign of confidence for the growing town, she said. The centre is in an awesome location in an outstanding building.
"On behalf of council and community, we are very proud AA is part of our community and our history," Worboys said.
Founded in 1903, the association started as a small group of motoring enthusiasts in Auckland. The Whanganui association formed in 1907.
AA channel network Lower North Island area manager Yvonne Milne said the first AA centre in Feilding opened 80 years ago. "Our team who live and work in the area understand how important the centre is to the community and locals being able to access our services without driving for miles."
Due to the Delta outbreak, an extension was placed on all driver licences due to expire between July 21and November 30, with the new deadline November 30 this year. The AA is advising customers who need to renew their licence to come to an AA centre now to avoid potential longer wait times closer to the deadline.
