Best Mass-Market Dealerships in San Antonio: The View of the Customer

The 25 best mass-market stores in the San Antonio metro, ranked from 80 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.

Key takeaways

  • Vic Vaughan Toyota of Boerne, Hill Country Honda, Ancira Nissan and 4 others hold the area's 7 A grades.
  • No mass-market dealer in the area is materially gaining share of voice this year.
  • Helpfulness is the most common cause of frustration, at 5 of 25 stores.
  • Every store in the area replies to at least an average share of its reviews.

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 80 Mass-Market dealers in the San Antonio metro and grades each one on four things.

Which mass-market dealers in San Antonio are gaining ground?

How many mass-market dealers in San Antonio were considered, and what does it take to make the list?
