The DealerRater Dealer of the Year Awards are based on reviews by new- and used-car shoppers and those who took their vehicles into dealerships for service. Reviewers evaluated Harris Mazda on its customer service, quality of work, friendliness, pricing and overall experience. Harris Mazda has demonstrated consistently high PowerScore™ ratings for customer satisfaction, placing it in the top of its class. The PowerScore is determined using a Bayesian algorithm that factors the dealership’s average DealerRater consumer rating and the total number of reviews written about the dealership during the 2016 calendar year.
“In January 2016 we overhauled the car shopping experience at Harris Mazda. We replaced commissioned sales people salaried product advisors who earn bonuses for customer satisfaction and throughput. We then implemented an algorithm driven Stress Free Pricing model and No Buyer’s Remorse Allowed policy allowing customers to exchange their purchase if they felt they made the wrong choice. We listened to today’s automotive shopper and eliminated the traditional rigid and linear sales process still found at most car dealerships and replaced it with our i-Buy Responsive Shopping Experience where we let the guest decide the path they want to take on their shopping journey. The results have been terrific with huge increases in our customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction, and throughput metrics. On behalf of our awesome team at Harris Mazda we are humbled and delighted to accept this terrific award.”
