8. SERVICE QUALITY
Service quality is the perception and judgment of service by customers. A customer’s willingness to
maintain a relationship with a firm depends on their perception of the quality of service that the
firms provide.
In the automobile industry where consumers are changing their tastes and shopping habits, firms
must:
• PROVIDE SERVICES AND PRODUCTS AT BETTER COST,
• PROVIDE BETTER VALUE TO CUSTOMERS,
• ENHANCE SERVICE DELIVERY STRATEGIES.
High-quality service is essential for firms to establish and enhance long-term relationships with
customers.

2. SERVICE CONTENT QUALITY
Service delivery quality is the way in which firms make their services accessible to consumers.
Service content quality is the extent to which firms provide information that is complete,
accurate, and timely to consumers.
One way dealerships can improve their service and develop a quality culture is by
implementing a total quality management philosophy in their organizations. Organizations
can design their HR systems in a way that rewards employees that provide quality services
that surpass customers’ needs.
