The top three performers were ASOS with 91.6, then Amazon with 90.6, and First Direct with 89.
The ICS reported that in the automotive sector 31% of customers rated service much more important than price.
Automotive companies whose satisfaction scores are higher than the sector average of 80.9 have an average of 49% of customers who have recommended them, compared to 30% for companies who score below the sector average for customer satisfaction.
