Intercepts & Surveys

Automotive Dealerships & Service Networks

The prospects who left your showroom have the answers you need.

CSI scores tell you how buyers felt after they purchased. Intercept surveys tell you what every visitor thought — including the ones who walked out without buying. By capturing real-time feedback at your dealership, you get the insight that manufacturer surveys and online reviews never deliver.

01The Challenge

Your CSI programme measures post-purchase satisfaction. But it misses everyone who visited and didn't buy, everyone who called and didn't book, and everyone whose service experience didn't warrant a formal complaint. That silent majority holds the key to your growth.

CSI only captures buyers.

Manufacturer satisfaction surveys go to people who already purchased. The prospects who walked out — the ones you most need to understand — are never asked a single question about why they left.

CSI only captures buyers.

Service department feedback is biased.

Customers who respond to post-service surveys tend to be either very satisfied or very frustrated. The middle ground — the customer who thought it was fine but will try an independent next time — never surfaces.

Service department feedback is biased.

No real-time data on showroom experience quality.

You track leads, test drives, and closes. But you have no structured data on how the greeting felt, whether the needs analysis was thorough, or if the handover from sales to F&I was smooth.

02The Cost of Inaction

Every showroom visitor who leaves without buying represents a lost investment in marketing, inventory, and facility. Without understanding why they left, you're spending more to attract prospects while losing them at the point of decision.
