The carmaker managed to score as much as 874 on a 1000 point scale for securing the Podium …
We had earlier reported Hyundai India topping the 2018 J D Power India Customer Service Index (Mass market) Study with its extensive network of dealerships and service outlets across the country.
So the question comes… Who is India’s second most efficient carmaker when it comes to after-sales care and customer satisfaction?
We have our own Tata Motors bearing the title as the carmaker has now hit the second spot by amassing a score of 874 in the study, leaving a fair margin to industry average of 838.
This is the second consecutive year that has seen Tata Motors grab this achievement and unsurprisingly though, they have managed to make a tad big improvement in performance from the previous year
Based on responses from 9,045 new-vehicle owners who had purchased their vehicle between March 2015 and August 2017, the Study measures new-vehicle owner satisfaction with the after-sales service process by examining dealership performance in five factors (listed in order of importance):
- service quality (30%)
- service initiation (18%)
- service facility (18%)
- service advisor (17%)
- and vehicle pick-up (17%).
