Harry Robinson Buick GMC Earns 2022 DealerRater Consumer Satisfaction Award for Outstanding Customer Experience

Recognized for Top-tier Reviews from Car Shoppers across the U.S., Harry Robinson Buick GMC Consistently Exceeds Customer Expectations in the Fort Smith, AR area Fort Smith, AR –
2/4/2022 –  Harry Robinson Buick GMC was awarded a 2022 Consumer Satisfaction Award by DealerRater, a leading car dealer review and reputation management platform and company of Cars.com Inc. (NYSE: CARS). Consumer Satisfaction Awards recognize the top 10% of auto dealerships delivering exceptional customer service as rated by online reviews.

Top-reviewed dealers engage in digital-first services.

Home delivery and virtual appointments were powerful drivers of positive reviews. Winning dealers who offered these services scored on average a 97% positive review rate, nearly 5 percentage points higher than dealers without. 

The Dealer of the Year Awards indicate the value car shoppers place on dealers' adaptability to provide the very best service even when the industry is challenged by inventory shortages and increased car prices.

Successful dealers engage with customers, a critical component to their success.

The digital engagement of employees at dealerships proved especially critical this past year as car shoppers conducted the bulk of their research and vehicle purchases online. Award-winning dealers on average responded to customer reviews over five times more frequently than non-winning dealers. Dealers that go above and beyond traditionally respond within 24 hours.

Additionally, about 91% of winners provide their staff with Employee Profile Pages on DealerRater, which allows car shoppers to ask questions and connect with individual salespeople at a dealership before ever stepping on the lot.

Thank you from all of our customers! You made this award possible, and we are grateful for you.
