Mazda Philippines scores highest in the J.D. Power 2019 Philippines Customer Service Index Study besting 10 other brands. The Japanese carmaker scored 824 out of 1,000 points. Nissan landed in second at 814 while Hyundai finished third at 811.
The study which measures customer satisfaction with servicing and vehicle-return process was based on responses from 2,384 new-vehicle owners who purchased their vehicle between January 2016 and April 2018, and took their vehicle for service to an authorized dealer or service center between January 2018 and April 2019.
The study measures overall satisfaction among vehicle owners who visited an authorized service center for maintenance or repair work during the first 12 to 36 months of ownership based on five factors (in order of importance): service quality (28 percent); service initiation (20 percent); service facility (20 percent); vehicle pick-up (17 percent); and service advisor (16 percent).
Unfortunately, overall customer satisfaction among vehicle owners in the Philippines still decreased with the Industry Average dropping to 803 points in 2019 compared to 812 in 2018.
