  2. Comment Activity How many customers are writing about the store each month.
  3. Responsiveness The share of reviews that receive an owner reply.
  4. Frustration The share of reviews that describe a bad experience. Lower is better, so Top 25% means fewer frustrated customers than three quarters of dealers.

What customers talk about

Every review is classified into 25 topics (staff, communication, wait times, pricing, honesty, and so on) with positive or negative sentiment. For each topic, we take the reviews that mention it and measure what share are positive and what share are negative, then compare that with dealers of similar size. A topic is listed only when the difference is meaningful, and the size of the difference is shown in three steps, never as a number. Figures cover 2026 year to date.
