We recently released the 2014 Temkin Experience Ratings that ranks the customer experience of 268 companies across 19 industries based on a survey of 10,000 U.S. consumers.
Toyota, Buick, and Lexus all earned a 74% rating—only narrowly surpassing Subaru—and tied for 59th place overall out of 268 companies across 19 industries. While this is both Buick’s and Lexus’s first time evaluated in the Ratings, this is Toyota’s second straight year in the top spot.
At the other end of the spectrum, Chrysler tumbled down the rankings from its “okay” rating in 2013 to a “poor” rating this year, finishing as the lowest-ranking auto dealer with a score of 50% and a ranking of 256th place. Kia and Dodge also declined in the ratings and received “poor” scores of 57% and 55% respectively, both hovering near the bottom of the auto industry rankings for the third year in a row.
