How the scores work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the dealer, ranked against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from thousands of buyers carries more weight than a 4.9 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently buyers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
