The checklist covers areas such as customer communication channels, feedback collection methods, complaint handling processes, customer satisfaction measurement, staff training on customer service, and the integration of customer insights into dealership operations and vehicle sales strategies.

These audits should be conducted quarterly to capture seasonal variations in customer behavior and satisfaction, with ongoing monitoring of key performance indicators on a monthly basis.

The audit team should include the customer service manager, sales manager, after-sales service manager, marketing representative, and quality assurance personnel. Input from front-line staff who interact directly with customers is also valuable.
