The math

Why an "8 out of 10" is actually an F.

When your official survey arrives from Example Motors, the grading scale does not work like a school report card.

The industry standard

Most automotive manufacturers score dealerships with a metric called the Customer Satisfaction Index, or CSI.

All-or-nothing

On most corporate brand surveys, any score that is not a perfect 10 out of 10 — or "completely satisfied" — is aggregated as a zero.

The consumer disconnect

To a buyer, an 8 or 9 means "a great experience with room to improve." To the manufacturer, it pulls the average down and reads as a failing grade.

The human impact

The score often follows the salesperson.

Your salesperson may have spent hours finding the right vehicle, coordinating your delivery, and answering questions. Yet the survey can hold that person responsible for much more than their own service at Summit Motor Company.

Some issues are outside their control

Vehicle pricing, document fees, inventory shortages, factory delays, and finance-office policies may affect your experience even though your salesperson did not set or control them.

The impact is personal

A well-meant 8 or 9 can lower a salesperson's survey average and may affect bonuses, income, recognition, or even their standing at work.

Best practices

How to share your honest feedback accurately.

Call first, survey second
