Need Help With Auto Dealerships Customer (About Bad Reviews)
A few days ago I applied for a position to post ads for used cars, I thought it would be a good fit because I know quite a bit about the internet and can help them. When I went in to talk to them I learned that you get a set amount ($100) after someone buys a car off from a lead you've sent to the car dealership.
Since then I've been doing some research on the car dealership and now I have mixed feelings about helping them sell cars. On Google Places they have a rating of 2.1 stars, but on Citysearch they have a 93% with 201 votes. They also seem to have had 31 complaints through BBB in the last 3 years, 15 of them being closed in the last 12 months.
I was just reading a thread on reputation management for an auto dealership and their company seems to get bad reviews because their dealership offers credit to people with bad credit.
When I was looking at the bad reviews for the auto dealer I want to help, there looks like one main issue - the cars break down quickly and then the car dealership won't help them. I can see more people leaving bad reviews if something goes wrong because it is such a huge purchase, but not sure if this is normal in the car industry.
Is the low rating normal for this industry? I checked Google Places for other dealerships and they range anywhere from 3.9 to 2.1 ratings. Although the 3.9 is a huge dealership compared to the other smaller dealerships that seem to get the lower ratings.
They also do not seem to have a website online.
Any tips or suggestions?
