The 25 best luxury stores in the Boston metro, ranked from 70 on what their own customers said in public Google reviews this year: how they rate them, how many are commenting, whether the store answers, and how often customers leave frustrated.
Most "best dealership" lists rank on star rating alone. A 4.8 with 40 reviews and a 4.8 with 4,000 reviews are not the same store, and neither number tells you whether the dealership answers when something goes wrong. The Widewail Index reads every public Google review for the 70 Luxury dealers in the Boston metro and grades each one on four things.
Each input is ranked against every franchise dealer in the country, combined into one score, and converted to a letter. Grades refresh monthly and cannot be purchased.
