1 DEALERS VIEW OF WARRANTY: SGS GLOBAL WARRANTY SATISFACTION SURVEY RESULTS FOR BRAZIL WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION SYSTEMS SERVE TO IMPROVE AFTER SALES PROCESSES AND BUILD LONG-TERM CUSTOMER LOYALTY MAY 14 AUTHOR Roland Gagel Global Automotive Sector Manager, SGS

CONCLUSIONS 21 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Brazil Dealer Warranty Survey 14 is part of the first ever global warranty satisfaction survey of automotive dealers. It has intensively researched the business areas of sales, aftersales and warranty from interviews with 3 dealers in Brazil representing 15 OEMs. The results enable those responsible for warranties at vehicle manufacturers to understand their brand s position compared to the competition. It gives a clear benchmark for the warranty controlling processes of hotlines, field force and audits. The survey, conducted between January and March 14 indicates overall satisfaction with the ease of warranty handling, goodwill policies and extended warranty programmes with findings based on high-level analysis that lends support to the conclusions of this paper. 1
3 II. THE ROLE OF WARRANTY ADMINISTRATION FOR DEALER AND CUSTOMER SATISFACTION The goal was to evaluate franchised dealers satisfaction of the key tools for modern warranty management, which are supplied to them by vehicle manufacturers. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) provide support and controls for their dealers when repairing vehicles during the new vehicle warranty period, and the following period under goodwill policy schemes. The focus of the study was the overall processes and dealer perception of the warranty management system which was evaluated in four main areas: Ease of conducting business Warranty control mechanisms Policy and extended warranty Satisfaction with the payment terms Support of customer loyalty and the competitive position In particular, warranty management that involves OEM personnel and their service providers, each of whom plays a vital role in the cost structure of an OEM, was researched. When looking at the cost levels of call centres, field force and auditors, an OEM has to carefully evaluate if their deployed resources contribute to warranty cost control and to dealer and customer satisfaction or whether they are counterproductive. One underlying assumption of the study is that inefficient warranty processes that dissatisfy dealers also create dissatisfaction with customers. Therefore, the survey also asks for verbatims regarding potential improvement areas of the warranty operations from the dealers viewpoint. Questions include the warranty IT system and evaluate the effective support of the customer loyalty by the OEMs warranty programme. SATISFIED DEALERS WILL LEAD TO LOYAL CUSTOMERS. 2
4 III. SCOPE OF THE STUDY SCOPE AND PARAMETERS The study was conducted on behalf of SGS between January and March 14 by an independent and well recognised market research company based in Brazil. Dealer data was retrieved from the internet and the method used was Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI). The preferred role of the interviewed person was warranty administrator, service manager or service advisor (i.e. those people in a dealership that work daily on warranty related matters). Countries within the scope Brazil Brands within the scope and grouping of OEMs The survey included 15 brands within the scope. The grouping was done in order to enable publication of the study to a wide audience. The study results with detailed brand information are not published and will only be made available to interested parties under non-disclosure agreements. Premium Audi BMW Mercedes Benz French Citroen Peugeot Renault Volume Chevrolet Fiat Ford VW JP/KO Honda Hyundai Kia Nissan Toyota Size of the samples Twenty dealers per brand were randomly selected from dealer address data files available on the internet. Multi-branded dealers were asked to answer the questions referring to their main brand, as identified by the dealer themselves. SURVEY QUESTIONS The goal of the study was to have easily understood questions that yielded comparable answers between dealers. No verbatim answers were recorded, only categorised answers to questions. Brand background Q1. What is your main brand? Key questions (Satisfaction Index) Q2.

21 V. MAIN FINDINGS The main findings of the survey are summarised as follows: The results of the first competitive warranty survey for Brazil, as part of SGS wider global warranty survey, paint a differentiated and very diverse picture of the market. The key is the competitive character: in many questions we see 9%, 95% or even % satisfaction rating, but at the same time we see some brands ranking as low as below % for satisfaction the clear message to the low performing brands is that it is possible to convince your dealers about the quality of your operations As in Europe, Premium has the highest rating for most questions, with two Premium brands accounting for the most top ratings overall In contrast, Premium has low satisfaction ratings for the reimbursement of warranty claims, which demonstrates Premium does not just buy good ratings by paying better than the competition Volume and French rate lowest for satisfaction: in Volume there is a high correlation with the low ranking for hotline satisfaction and warranty audits, with goodwill policy satisfaction rating higher; in French the results indicate almost the opposite is true The large overall gaps between highest and lowest satisfaction ratings across many questions show dealers have very different views of their OEMs As far as the overall ease of business, some brands have issues with low satisfaction ratings, especially compared to the high ratings of the leading OEMs at world class level Low performing brands show poor results in almost all key questions, whereas high performers demonstrate consistently good results Dealers make a clear differentiation between questions, avoiding the potential for any negative bias: for example, Brand X received the lowest satisfaction ratings in questions concerning its labour rate and reimbursement for parts / handling charge, but still received a % agreement rating that its warranty processes support customer loyalty Group and industry averages are significant due to their overall high satisfaction ratings. However, the individual brands significance should be viewed in relation to the sample size of dealers, which while sufficient, leaves a residual error of 5%-% PREMIUM PROVIDES EASIEST WARRANTY OPERATIONS. VOLUME HAS ISSUES WITH HOTLINE SATISFACTION AND WARRANTY AUDITS. FRENCH HAS ISSUES WITH GOODWILL POLICY SATISFACTION.
22 VI. CONCLUSIONS Brazil has experienced -years of growth within its automotive market, and in that time much of the focus has been on the provision of affordable vehicles. Meanwhile, after sales has been rather neglected in Brazil, and as such dealers tend not to focus on customer satisfaction in the same way as more mature markets (i.e. EU, US and China) approach customer experience and after sales. Premium is a clear leader in the ratings, which may not be all that surprising but it should be remembered that probably more so in Brazil than anywhere else in the world, due to Brazil s high import tariffs, Premium OEMs must satisfy the most demanding end consumer (i.e. the Premium customer) and seller (i.e. the Premium dealer) which in itself is no easy task. In the detailed brand analysis, it is obvious that dealers have a very differentiated picture of the manufacturers. Some manufacturers within the French and Volume groups get very negative feedback on their warranty operations and would need to have a close look as to the competitiveness of their warranty offer. The instance of a gap of 55%, and a lowest performing brand with 3% of dealers finding warranty complicated, is an unprecedented finding in our warranty surveys. The call for action for this brand is self-evident. Leaving a majority of dealers unsatisfied about the payment terms, as the results show for Brand S, is both uncooperative as well as short sighted. This will inevitably lead to dealers attempting to avoid warranty work, which will subsequently impact on customers. And it could increase the risk of fraudulent claims being made by dealers in order to make up for the perceived imbalance in OEM payments. It is worth noting that at the same time feedback on the warranty system is also low, the warranty audit rates bottom three and dealers rate the OEM last for whether its warranty processes support customer loyalty, all of which is an indication that warranty operations have significant potential to improve from their current low levels of satisfaction. Warranty hotlines seem to concern some dealers. Three brands have low satisfaction ratings of just above %, which shows that dealers clearly have an issue with how the hotlines operate. Inevitably, this will impact customers, as slow or incompetent hotlines are a key driver in affecting the speed in which dealers can undertake repair. If this happens, customers have to wait longer for their car, or in the worst-case scenario do not even receive a repair, all because dealers are unsure about the payment approval of the hotline. In regards to goodwill policy, Volume manufacturers exhibit quite positive results. Among single brands, the differentiation between process and level is quite high. And, as seen in previous SGS surveys, dealers make a clear differentiation between the process versus the level of goodwill. It is interesting to note that with the Volume group being quite diverse (i.e. one German, two US and one Korean manufacturer) the three cultural differences of the OEMs may be affecting their ratings. On the extended warranty satisfaction (NB: not included in the charts in this white paper but part of the survey), two of the Volume manufacturers appear at the bottom of the individual brand rankings for administration, each with very low satisfaction ratings of only %. The coverage of the extended warranties rates more positively, but still the lowest rating of only % satisfaction is a Volume OEM. COMPARED TO THE EU, US OR CHINA WARRANTY OPERATIONS IN BRAZIL DO NOT FOCUS ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION TO THE SAME EXTENT. MANY BRANDS HAVE ISSUES IN SEVERAL AREAS HOWEVER TOP PERFORMING BRANDS DEMONSTRATE THAT SERVICE EXCELLENCE IS ACHIEVABLE. ENGAGED WARRANTY OPERATIONS ARE THE KEY TO ENSURING OPTIMAL CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AND LOYALTY DURING AFTER SALES PROCESSES, RESULTING IN HIGHER REVENUES AND PROFITS. 21
