Reading the dealer scorecards

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume shows how many buyers have rated each dealer, ranked against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.6 from thousands of buyers can be a stronger signal than a 4.9 from fewer. Recency reflects how recently buyers still review. Reviews show service, not the quality of a particular car, so inspect the vehicle itself.
