Part of Automotive Reputation Management is Knowing Customer Types

There is no way to avoid complaints in the automotive industry (or in any other for that matter). You can’t make all of the people happy all of the time. No matter how much effort you put into top-notch customer service, there will be those who simply won’t accept it as good. They may even want to complain about it online. This is where automotive reputation management comes into play.
