Arrow AAA in a car ad

In a car advertisement in a newspaper it starts with AAA and I was wondering what that could mean in Spanish. It must be short for certain things about the car. Does anyone know?

I've never seen anything like that before either. Maybe you could post the entire ad?

Si....pero creo que AAA = American Automobile Association.

Muchas empresas le ponen el triple AAA al nombre de su negocio solo para salir primeros en la guía telefónica. No necesariamente significan algo.

Esa ha sido mi experiencia en el pasado.

The AAA was at the beginning of a whole bunch of ads in Spanish in a Mexican newspaper. It was like the Auto section of the classified ads. I thought maybe it was like a common acronym for something to save space in the ads.

I wish I could find the newspaper now so I could post some of the ads.

Wow.

Wow. I was still trying to find the answer to this, and I did some searching. AAA can mean lots of things.

English: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3Aaaa
Spanish: http://www.google.com/search?q=defin...efinel&defl=es

I think this is the best one in Spanish:

En términos de calidad TRIPLE "A" significa excelencia en cuanto a un servicio o producto que brinda una empresa o también puede ser la categoría de una empresa.

Do you think that sounds logical that in the ad it was simply meaning that the cars were good quality?
