3 Quick Customer Service Facts:
HOW DOES CUSTOMER SERVICE
IMPACT A CAR DEALERSHIP?
Customer Retention & Loyalty
Customer defection rate: Studies show that 89% of customers will switch to a competitor after a poor customer service experience. In the automotive industry, this could mean losing a lifetime customer who may otherwise return for future vehicle purchases, vehicle servicing, and refer friends & family.
Negative Reviews & Reputation
Online reviews impact: Approximately 97% of consumers read online reviews before making a purchase. A negative review, especially regarding customer service, can drive potential customers away. Studies show that one negative review can cost a dealership 30 customers on average.
Impact on Service Departments
Lost service revenue: Service departments often contribute significantly to dealership profits. 70% of customers who experience bad customer service won’t return for future maintenance or repair services, leading to a loss in long-term revenue and eventual new car sales opportunities.
Sales & Revenue
Reduced sales: Poor customer service can directly impact sales. Research indicates that 55% of consumers have abandoned a purchase due to poor customer service, translating to significant revenue losses in a dealership.
Employee Morale & Turnover
High employee turnover: A dealership with consistently poor customer service often suffers from poor internal culture, leading to high employee turnover. In the auto industry, employee turnover rates can be as high as 46%, with a significant portion attributed to poor work environments driven by unhappy customers.
Financial Impacts
Decreased profitability: Dealerships that fail to prioritize customer satisfaction experience reduced profitability, as dissatisfied customers not only buy fewer cars but also are less likely to use other profit centers such as the service lane, dealer financing, extended warranties, or trade-in their vehicles.
