91% of consumers rely on reviews when selecting a dealership

For the customer, finding the right automotive dealer is a fine balance of finances, finesse, and personal relationships. For you, it’s providing what those customers are craving – a balance of the best prices, the best services and a solid reputation.

Reviews and Buying Automobiles

Cars and trucks are major purchases for your customers. Many vehicles come with payments that approach rent or even mortgage payments, and making that much of a financial commitment isn’t something you’re your customers take lightly. Customers aren’t just researching your cars – they are researching you.

A positive review can drive new customers into your lot. A negative review can keep them away.

Your potential customers are keeping an eye not only on how well a dealership scores with customers, but also with how well you respond to the frustrated customers who might leave a negative review. In the automotive business, you are fielding reviews from all sides. Customers are sharing experiences with salespeople, service professionals, the used cars on your lot, the new cars on your lot and the quality of your repairs and service.

That’s a lot to monitor, but the many facets you are handling combine to create your reputation. Reputation absolutely matters when it comes to repeat customers and referrals, and you already know those are often the backbone of a successful dealership.
