The number of people taking scheduled service at dealerships has increased from 21per cent in 2014 to 31percent in 2018. It is the result of improved service turnaround time. More than half of the respondents reported that they could have their car serviced within 3 hours.

The study also shows that the under-30 group is less satisfied than the over-30 group. It rings a worry for the car manufactures as this group of customers will shape the future business, especially in a country with a various young population like India. Noticeably, 28 percent of the customers visit the dealership is under 30 years old.

Improved customer service also means a higher level of loyalty. And these customers who visit the service stations and are more willing to pay for additional services are more willing to pay more for cars. In fact, they could bring 12 percent more revenue to the dealership.
