The Spanish Association of Suzuki Dealers represents the brand's official network and is listed as a member association of Faconauto. In 2026, it fully updated its articles of association, according to the Official State Gazette (BOE).
An association with its own formal structure
The public register of business organisations confirms that the association has its own articles of association and governing bodies. The comprehensive amendment approved in May 2026 shows an active associative structure adapted to internal changes.
Why it is useful for a smaller network
In a more compact network, coordination can be even more important. Dealers share challenges regarding profitability, territorial coverage, after-sales service and adaptation to new technologies.
An association makes it possible to identify when a problem is individual and when it affects the entire network.
Integration into Faconauto
The association participates in Faconauto, which adds a channel to bring Suzuki-related issues into broader discussions surrounding official Spanish distribution.
And what is its relationship with used vehicles?
Official dealerships also buy, trade-in, and sell used cars. Therefore, although the association primarily represents the relationship of the official network, many of its members have direct interests in used vehicles: valuation, stock, turnover, warranties, and remarketing.
For that part of the business, a useful read is how to reduce the turnover time of used vehicles.
What a dealership should review before assessing the association
Beyond the name, it is advisable to ask about:
governing bodies and working groups;
frequency of meetings;
advisory services;
relationship with the manufacturer;
participation in Faconauto;
access to information reserved for members.
The exact role may change over time, so the primary source should always be the association itself or Faconauto.
The relationship with AECOVI
AECOVI does not represent dealerships before a brand and, therefore, does not replace this association. Its role lies in another part of the business: used vehicles, digitalisation and peer learning. For a dealership with a used vehicle business, it can be useful to compare practices with operators from other networks and independent dealers, whilst keeping the brand association as a specific representation channel.
