Our team within Saltmarine work hard to provide our customers with the best advice, service and information throughout the entire business.”
The Northern Ireland Results
The results are coordinated from a combined result of two online surveys. The first survey, completed by new car buyers, rates dealers on factors including the demeanour of sales people, price negotiation, after-sales service and the likelihood of recommending to a friend or family member.
The second survey targets industry associates, including car dealers, garages, repair shops and auto parts suppliers. As a ‘peer-to-peer’ survey, this allows those in the industry to identify which car dealers (other than themselves) they would recommend to their family and friends.
