Graded on what customers actually said

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 10 Nissan dealers in the Phoenix metro and grades each one on four things.
