New JD Powers Customer Satisfaction Index
from The Car Connection:
J.D. Power and Associates’ latest Customer Service Index finds Infiniti atop the heap once again — but other brands near the top of the list found their scores lower in this year’s satisfaction derby. Though the industry average score rose to 851 in the CSI, brands like Saturn, Honda, and Toyota fell in esteem, with Toyota and Nissan slipping below the industry average. The CSI measures customer care after the transaction, and in some cases brands with flagging or steady sales fared better in the polling — brands like Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury, as well as Audi and Mercedes-Benz. The results of the survey of 106,000 owners were as follows:
Infiniti 900
Saturn 896
Acura 895
Lexus 895
Lincoln 895
Cadillac 893
Saab 892
Buick 889
Porsche 874
BMW 873
Jaguar 868
Mercedes-Benz 868
Volvo 868
Mercury 867
Oldsmobile 863
Chevrolet 858
GMC 858
Chrysler 857
Honda 854
Audi 852
Jeep 851
INDUSTRY AVERAGE 851
Pontiac 849
Plymouth 846
Dodge 845
Ford 845
Mazda 841
Subaru 841
Toyota 838
Mitsubishi 833
Hyundai 832
Nissan 831
Land Rover 812
Volkswagen 795
Kia 786
Suzuki 781
Isuzu 780
Daewoo 737

Are some customer attitudes finally starting to swing?

Saturn hasn't really changed their models in years except for Ion, Vue, and that midsized LS-whatever.....

BUT... The low scores of Honda and Toyota really strike me.
GM is on the rise, and the imports are on the decline according to this survey. I like this a whole lot. Though I personally don't put much concern in a JD Power survey or any for that matter, it's nice to know other people who go word for word what magazines say will be seeing GM products amongst the top. This is a very good thing indeed.

I have noticed a huge improvement in the level of service from GM dealerships, especially service departments, in the last few years. Weed out of few of the old-school dumbass salesmen and things would be even better.
On the other hand, I can say that our experience with the local Honda service department has been only so-so. I've heard similar and worse things from fellow Honda owners.
Honestly, I think that the level of service after the sale is damn important, and it surprises me how many jerks are allowed to work at dealerships.
