INTRODUCTION Understanding how consumers shop for vehicles, what leads them to buy, and how to acquire and maintain their loyalty is increasingly important in todays complex environment.

Buying a car used to be a pretty simple process: A consumer would check out some ads, talk to a few friends and head into the dealer for more information. Today that process has grown more complex, as consumers increasingly rely on new tools such as the Internet, blog sites, Web forums and online social networks. This increased sophistication has resulted in changing buying patterns as well as a shift of power in favour of the consumer. Keeping up with the pace of change isnt easy for many vehicle manufacturers and dealers. Understanding how consumers shop for vehicles, what leads them to buy, and how to acquire and maintain their loyalty is increasingly important in this complex environment. Without this knowledgeor with insufficient or inaccurate knowledgecompanies and dealers will find it difficult to improve the customer experience as well as their own business performance.

Consumers are increasingly driven by their hearts, as well as their heads: although rational factors such as safety, price and reliability play a role in consumers decisionmaking process, more emotional aspects often trump them. For example, when

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 5

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD consumers were asked why they switched to a different brand, responses such as fits my needs, wanted to try something new and enjoyment of the vehicle scored higher than fuel economy and safety. And when it comes to the factors that lead buyers to repurchase from the same dealer, greater importance is placed on trustworthiness and friendliness these days than on factors such as the degree of knowledge possessed by the sales staff. This poses a challenge for manufacturers and dealers since it requires that they appeal to both the rational and emotional aspects of buying a car.

Customer loyalty is fleeting: With so much riding on the relationship and emotional factors, consumer trust and loyalty can be easily broken. Consumers are ever more demanding and are prepared to walk at any time, even within a month of purchase, and often they wont give a company a second chance. If that response isnt fast enough, many consumers will look for a new dealer, a new manufacturer or both.

Loyalty doesnt end with the sale: Vehicle ownership is a long-term, complex relationship among the consumer, the manufacturer and the dealer. Post-sale communications and after sales services are essential to keep the relationship alive. For example, consumers indicated that they appreciate or greatly appreciate dealer contact such as having the service manager phone following vehicle servicing, receiving regular service reminders or having a sales consultant phone following delivery of a vehicle. Its also clear that personalized communication is key to maintaining the relationship. Among

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 6

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

the types of contact that consumers said would be more likely to lead them to purchase their next vehicle from the same dealer or manufacturer were a personalized repurchase offer via post and personalized communication after a complaint.

Further collaboration between the manufacturer and dealer is key to driving growth: Consumers dont always make the distinction between vehicle manufacturer and dealer. For instance, if either party fails to respond quickly enough to an inquiry, consumers will switch both brand and dealer. These points are the importance of retail integration in the battle of customers and sustainable profits. Together, both manufacturers and dealers are better positioned to respond faster and more effectively to consumers needs, wants and preferences.

The project report was carried on to know the influential factors to buy cars at RNS though Bellad Motors selling the same, provided by the company will help to enhance the companys sales. To know the satisfaction level of existing consumers this will help to

LITERATURE REVIEW Consumer buying behaviour


Possibly the most challenging concept in marketing deals with understanding why buyers do what do (or do not do). But such knowledge is critical for markets since having a strong understanding of buyer behaviour will help shed light on what is important to the customer and also suggest the important influence on customer decision making. Using this information, marketers can create marketing programs that they believe will be of interest to customers. As we might guess, factors affecting how customer makes decisions are extremely complex. Buyers behaviour is deeply rooted in psychology with dashes of sociology thrown in just to make things more interesting. Since every person in the world is different, it is impossible to have simple rules that explain how buying decisions are made. But who have spent many years and analyzing customer activity have presented us with useful guidelines in how someone decides whether or not to make a purchase.

Types of Purchase Decisions


Consumers are faced with purchase decisions nearly every day. But not all decisions are treated the same. Some decisions are more complex than others and thus require more effort by the consumer. Other decisions are fairly routine and require little effort. In general, consumers face four types of purchase decisions:

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 9

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD Minor New Purchase: These purchases represent something new to a consumer but in the customers mind is not a very important purchase in terms of need, money or other reason (e.g., status within a group). Minor Re-purchase: these are the most routine of all purchases and often the consumer returns to purchase the same product without giving much thought to other product options (e.g., consumer is brand loyalty). Major New Purchase: These purchases are the most difficult of all purchases because these are important to the consumer but the consumer has little or no previous experience making the purchase and is important. This type of decision often (but not always) requires the consumer to engage in an extensive decision-making process. Major Re-Purchase: These purchase decisions are also important to the customer but the customer feels more confident in making the decision since they have experienced purchasing the product in past. For marketers it is important to understand how customers treat the purchase decisions they face. If a company is targeting customers who feel a purchase decision is difficult (i.e., Major New purchase), their marketing strategy may vary greatly from a company targeting customers who view the purchase decision as routine. In fact the same company may face both situations at the same time, for some of the product is new, while other customers see the purchase as routine. The implication of buying behaviour for marketers is that different buying situations require different marketing efforts.

Consumer Behaviour.
The decision process and physical activity individuals engage in when evaluating, acquiring, using, or disposing of the goods and services. OR The mental, emotional, and physical activities that people engage in when selecting, purchasing, using and disposing of products and services so as to satisfy needs and desires. 1. Decision Making as Problem Solving a) To make purchases, consumers, go through a buying decision process that can be thought of as solving a problem. b) This process has six stages: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) c) Need Recognition Choice of an involvement level Identification of alternatives Evaluation of alternatives Decisions Post-purchase behaviour There are number of factors that may affect this model of decision making. i) purchase. ii) Some stages in this model may be skipped, depending The buyer can withdraw at any stage prior to the actual

upon the buying situation.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 11

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

iii) The stages are not all of the same length. For example a need may be recognized in an instant but the identification of alternatives to satisfy the need may take hours, days, or weeks. Not all stages will be performed consciously for all purchases.

d) Recognition of an unsatisfied need, or need recognition, creates tension or discomfort for the consumer. This need may arise internally, such as feeling hungry or thirsty, or It may arise because of external stimulation through such things as:

uct,

roduct itself

iii)

Needs may also be stimulated through dissatisfaction with the consumer is currently using.

Recognition of a need will often cause conflict for the consumer. 1. The consumer has decided how to allocate his/her resources of time and money between completing needs. 2. If this conflict is not resolved the buying process stops.

e) The choice of an involvement level is when the consumers decide how much effort in satisfying a need. The more effort exerted, the higher the involvement. i) Involvement tends to be greater under any of the following

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 12

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD (1) (2) (3) (4) The consumer lacks information about the purchase The product is viewed as important The risk of making a bad decision is previewed as high The product has considerable social importance (5) The product is seen as having a potential for providing significant benefits. ii) Most buying decisions for relatively low priced products with close substitutes are low involvement. This would include most products sold in supermarkets, and variety stores. iii) It is important to remember that involvement is consumer related

and not product related. This means that a low involvement product foe one person may be a high involvement product for another person. (1) The purchase of stereo may be a high involvement purchase for consumers who is concerned about the cost, but (2) Be a low involvement purchase for a wealthy consumer who is buying for a family room. iv) a. Impulse buying is an important form of low involvement decision making. These purchase decisions that are made with little or no advance planning. b. Shoppers have been conditioned to do more impulse buying through self service, open display retailing. c. Because of this greater emphasis must be placed in getting shoppers in the store and making packages and displays more appealing.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 13

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD v) Identification of alternatives includes both product and brand alternatives. This may be simple as a memory scan or an extensive search. a. The consumer must first identify which of the major product categories might satisfy the experienced need. For example, a need for transportation may be satisfied by automobiles, motorcycle, motor scooters, or bicycle.

b. Then the consumer must choose which brands from the selected category to consider. Using the previous examples, the consumer chooses motorcycle and not must consider Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Harley-Davidson.

c. The search for alternative will be influenced by: (1) How much information the consumer already has from past experience and other sources (2) The consumers confidence in that information (3) What the time and money costs would be to collect more information. g) Evaluation of alternative involves establishing criteria with which to evaluate each alternative before making a decision. a. This may be a single criterion or several criteria. If there are

several criteria, they normally do not carry equal weight. b. The criteria that consumers use come from Past experience and feelings toward various brands

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 14

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD Opinions of family members and friends. h) The purchase decisions are a series of related decisions the consumer must make if they decide to make a purchase.

These decisions may take a long time and include such things as: i. ii. iii. iv. Special features of the product Where and when to make the actual purchase How to take possession Method of payment.

b. One of the most important of these decisions is which store to purchase the product from. The reason a person shops at a certain store are called patronage buying motives and include: Feeling comfortable in the store Having people like themselves shopping in the store An environment that reflects their values c. Successful retailers evaluate their target customer carefully and design their stores accordingly. d. It is important to understand customer satisfaction because that is what the marketing concept is built on.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 15

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD i. Customer satisfaction is based upon a comparison between the consumers expectations before using a product and his actual experience with the product. ii. A consumer is satisfied when the product experience equals or exceeds expectations. A consumer is dissatisfied when the experience falls short of expectations.

Marketers can influence consumers expectations through advertising claims and sales presentations. iv. Marketers can influence the consumers experience through the quality of the product. i) Post-Purchase Behaviour can influence repeat sales and what the buyers tell other about the product.

1.

In all but the most routine purchases, consumers

may experience anxieties the are explained by the theory of cognitive dissonance. Cognitive Dissonance is any time there is inconsistency in a persons cognitions such as knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and values. 2. Post purchase dissonance occurs because each of

the alternatives considered by the consumer has both advantages and disadvantages. So even he selected product has some drawbacks while rejected alternatives have some advantages.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 16

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD Dissonance typically increases as: i ) The dollar value of the purchase increases The degree of similarity between items selected and items rejected increases The relative importance of the decision increases. To help reduce post purchase dissonance consumers: i) Avoid information that is likely to increase dissonance ii) Seek out information that reinforces the selected product; and iii) Spend more time in pre-decision evaluations. Marketers can help reduce dissonance through: Reassuring buyers through their advertising and personal selling Giving quality post-sales service.

Action steps for bahaviour change This is circular process. Working through steps 2, 3 and 4 may lead to redefining the objective in step 1. 1. Define your objective. What is your desired end result? You may begin by thinking broadly, but narrow your objective so its achievable and, if possible, measurable. How will you know when youve achieved your desired result? 2. Select your audience. Brainstorm the possible audiences you could work with and choose one. Pick the most likely to get your desired result.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 17

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD 3. Learn about your audience. What do they need? What do they want? What do they know? What are their perceptions? Who do they respect? Who do they interact with (business and social networks)? Define the specific change you want the audience to make to achieve your overall result. 4. Find out about your audiences barriers to making the change. Go ask your audience. Possible barriers include: External: it costs too much, technology isnt available, laws are conflicting, etc. Personal: they dont recognize the problem, dont know what to do, dont consider it a priority, etc.

5. Develop strategies to reach your audience, using the behaviuor change principles (e.g., commitment, feedback, credibility, role models). Are there communities or political leaders, associations, retailers innovators, or other specific target groups that could help you reach your desired end result? 6. Develop a method to measure the effectiveness of your strategies. Refer back to your objective in step 1.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 18

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD SUMMARY Key behaviour change principles Just providing information has a limited effect on behaviour. There is no clear casual relationship between providing information and changing behaviour. a. Learn about your customer or audience. What do they know? Care about? Think about? Who influence them? b. Address the barriers to changing behaviuor. Barriers may be external (it costs too much, technology isnt available, laws are conflicting) or personal (the person doesnt know what to do, doesnt consider it a priority, thinks its too hard). 1. Getting involved is the first step to making a commitment, and making a commitment makes people more people more likely to act. Small commitments lead to big ones. Start by getting the shop owner involved in a visit. Then ask them to sign a form stating changes they will make. 2. Feedback and follow-up are important. Feedback gives people cues about the impacts of their behaviour changes. Additional contacts are also very important in motivating people to stick with a task. 3. People will listen first to their friends or relatives, or others they see as credible. What they hear at a dinner party will have more weight than a comprehensive data summary. 4. Change agents and role models are important. A few people in a group will typically adopt innovative ideas and behaviors first, and spread them through the group. Find these people and help them successfully adopt a new behaviour.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 19

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD 5. Changing attitudes may not change behaviour. There is no strong, direct or consistent relationship between attitudes and subsequent action. 6. Incentive may help change short-term. But when the reward is removed, they generally revert to their original behaviour. 7. If you need to provide information, present it effectively. People are more likely to pray attention to information that is: a. Vivid: Use language that conjures up a vivid and memorable image, or provide a demonstration that will stick in someones mind. b. Personal: Make statistical data personally relevant. Talk about personal consequences or refer to a group with which the person identifies. c. Specific and concrete: Tell them how to do the behaviour you want them to do. d. Stated in terms of loss rather than gain: Focus on showing people or businesss how much they are losing every month or year by not doing a specific behaviour. e. Told as a story: Use success stories as a motivating example. f. Emotional: People tend to be persuaded more by emotional messages than logical ones.

ORGANIZATION PROFILE
MARUTI UDYOG LIMITED
ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW: Maruti Udyog Limited (MUL) was established in Feb 1981 through an Act of Parliament, to meet the growing demand of a personal mode of transport caused by the lack of an efficient public transport system. Suzuki Motor Company was chosen from seven prospective partners worldwide. This was not only due to their undisputed leadership in small cars but also to their commitment to actively bring to MUL contemporary technology and Japanese management practices (which had catapulted Japan over USA to the status of the top auto manufacturing country in the world). A license and a Joint Venture agreement were signed between Govt of India and Suzuki Motor Company (now Suzuki Motor Corporation of Japan) in Oct 1982.

The objectives of MUL then were: 1. Modernization of the Indian Automobile Industry.
2. Production of fuel-efficient vehicles to conserve scarce resources. 3. Production of large number of motor vehicles which was necessary for economic growth.

Since the commencement of operations in 1981 we've been committed to the protection of the environment and conservation of non-renewable .energy sources. Our proactive approach depends not only upon meeting the expectations of the regulatory authorities but achieving the high standards that we've set as a responsible corporate citizen.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 37

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD

This philosophy of trying to make a difference to the environment penetrates through our employees to the process of manufacture and finally into our products.

Pollution Control Camps


Our elaborate system of Free Pollution Check-Up Camps which run at regular intervals, is designed at making the cars already on the road operate more efficiently. It also inculcates awareness for environmental protection among the many car users of India.

MPFI
We have introduced Euro II compliant MPFI engines in all our models. Along with our vendors, we've made investments of over Rs. 60 million for introducing MPFI technology compliant cars.

CNG
Maruti is a strong advocate of CNG, a more eco-friendly fuel alternative to diesel and petrol. In our endeavour to provide a cleaner and greener option to the customer, we are in the process of equipping an extensive dealer network to assist Maruti owners in fitting CNG kits.

Rain Water Harvesting


To recharge the aquifer, measures were taken to harvest the rain water through soak pits, recharging shafts and water lagoons. These measures are capable of charging nearly 50% of the average annual rainfall at Maruti, into the Earth. Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 38

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD MARUTI CULTURE: Our employees are our greatest strength and asset. It is this underlying philosophy that has molded our workforce into a team with common goals and objectives. Our Employee-

Management relationship is therefore characterized by:


Participative Management. Teamwork & Kaizen. Communication and information sharing.

To implement this philosophy, we have taken several measures like a flat organizational structure. There are only three levels of responsibilities ranging from the Board Of Directors, Division Heads to Department Heads. Other visible features of this philosophy are an open office, common uniforms (at all levels), and a common canteen for all. This structure ensures better communication and speedy decision-making processes. It also creates an environment that builds trust, transparency and a sense of belonging amongst employees.

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD THE MAJOR PLAYERS IN SMALL CAR SEGMENT Hyundai Motors India Ltd Telco Fiat India Ltd The battle royal in the India car market has entered the next phase. One old assumption has been vindicated that over 80% of the Indian car market is still confined to the small, sub Rs 4 lakh models. And that mod-size and digger models can only provide the icing on the cake, not the cake itself to any manufacturer. Quite apart from these specific lessons that each man learnt, there were several surprises that the car market threw up. First world-class technology and quality were considered a given now. Second, the Indian buyer had begun to expect model and engine upgrades as frequently as his US or European counterparts. The Indica had to upgrade their engines in less than one year after launch, the power steering option barely a year after it hit the market.

And finally, while the manufacturers could continue to refer to it as the Indian small car segment , the buyer characteristics were anything but homogeneous. There were distinct group with distinct preferences. And the days of one model becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion were over for good.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 40

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MAJOR PLAYERS Hyundai: Hyundai has become the undisputed number two in the Indian auto market, and the only one-even rivals admit- with the capability of giving leader Maruti a run for its money in the total volume stakes though Hyundai in India currently sells just about a quarter of the numbers that Maruti does.

Hyundai got everything right because it got the value-pricetechnology equation almost perfectly right from day one. The Santro was an instant winner from the day it was introduced in the Indian market because it offered the optimum mix of space and technology in the small car market, at a highly competitive price.And with easy consumer financing available in the market, Hyundai did not have to work too hard to persuade even entry-level car buyers to go for the Santro instead of the Maruti 800.

And when it launched mid-size Accent some time later, Hyundai proved that it could get its value-price equation consistently right across different segments.

But despite its great start, Hyundai made two mistakes and by Maruti it is also one under the most pressure because after zooming to the number two spot, it cannot afford to skid in the race. But Telcos Indica is snapping at its heels. And Maruti's backlash is expected to target the Santro more than any other model.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 41

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD The two miscalculations that Hyundai made? First, while Hyundai Santro was harping on the fact that it was a new generation car, it hadn't brought its latest engine technology to India, it was a mistake that rival Matiz capitalised on once Euro-II pollution norms were announced for the motors. Daewoo most of the fact that every Matiz was Euro-II complaint while Hyundai could offer an Euro-II version only at a higher price. Though the latter moved quickly in a damage-control exercise, the Santro did lose a bit of its sheen.

But worse for Hyundai, it-miscalculated demand for its cars. The result: when demand peaked for the Santro, it was in no position to offer the car off-the-shelf like its rivals. Buyers had to wait for three months to get a Santro after booking it. Hyundai is moving fast to sort out its capacity problem. Work will soon start on the second phase of its Sriperumbudur car project, one year ahead of what was initially planned. An additional investment of $400 million will help expand capacity from 1.2 lakh cars to 2 lakh cars per annum.

That apart, the big worry for Hyundai is that other than the Santro (the Atos in Korea), it doesn't 'have any other small car in its armoury. Unlike Suzuki which is primarily a small

car specialist, Hyundai can only introduce bigger cars in the Indian market either from its own product range, or those of Kia Motors, which it took over last year.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 42

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD And the car maker is planning to do precisely that. Over the next two years, It plans to offer the Sonata, priced at around Rs "12 lakh, m the segment above the Astra/Lancer/City category. 'The Sonata is a niche product. We hope to sell about 250 cars a month," says Gandhi. Also, Hyundai will be launching a sports utility vehicle (SUV), currently under development in Korea.

Hyundai is looking a bit vulnerable now because globally it is a minnow in the car market. St lacks the sheer money power and product muscle to keep fighting the Fords and Telco in any market. And if Ford does take over Daewoo Motors, Hyundai's number two position in India could be seriously under threat.

TELCO: THE HOME-GROWN CHALLENGER When it first announced its plans,' scepticism abounded. With dozens of global carmakers hitting the Indian market with new products, few people would have given Telco much of a chance with an indigenously-developed car. Especially since Telco did not boast a great reputation for developing even world-class commercial vehicles, forget passenger cars.

When the Indica hit the market, the consensus opinion was that Telco had goofed up again. It had got its car and engine developed abroad - but all that was marred by the production

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 43

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD quality of the cars when they rolled out of the Telco plant in Pune. The Indica was riddled with quality problems. A year down the line, almost everyone grudgingly admits that the Indica has been a success. The Telco formula of pushing the biggest small car with a rugged diesel engine has been a major hit in the semi-urban and rural markets.

Rajesv Dube, general manager, commercial (passenger cars), Telco, points out the company's biggest advantage: low costs, fin other words, Telco can recover the costs of introducing a new car at a much lower volume of sales than its rivals can. But the flip side is that all global giants can amortise the costs of development by selling the same car across different world markets, Telco can't.

At the moment though, the Telco strategy is to tap the niches first. The Indica, with the diesel engines being pushed hard, was clearly aimed at a segment none of the rivals was addressing. Similarly, the new car Magna it is planning to launch is again expected to be a niche car addressing a particular need \n the Rs 12-16 lakh car segment. And in the SUV market, Telco has already introduced the premium Safari, which again focuses on a small niche.

It is a smart strategy as it avoids taking any of the big guns head on. But in the long run, Telco knows it has to take on its rivals in the mainstream markets as well. It is ramping up capacity to 160,000 from the current 120,000 cars anticipating that it will get the demand.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 44

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD But Telco is also the weakest player in the small car market - and unless it keeps springing surprises,it could be the first casualty in this round of the car battles.

FIAT INDIA LTD: Fiat the Auto Titan was established in 1899 by Giovanni Agnelli. The company first set its foot on the Indian Turf in the year 1905, with the appointment of Mumbay Motor Cars Agency as its Sales Agent. The relationship with India was further strengthened when it signed a licence and servicing contract with Premier Automobiles Limited (PAL), paving the way for manufacturing and selling of 1100 and 1100D Fiat, Padmini, Uno and the latest offering being the cars from the project "178 World Car" range which includes Siena, Siena Weekend and the Palio. The companys pivotal interest remains automobiles.

These awards have not made the group complacent as it strives to achieve the best in all aspects, which include the people, environment, technology and energy.

Belgaum Institute Of Management Studies (MBA) Belgaum. 45

BELLAD MOTORS (P) LTD This is seen in the companys endure towards Environmental issues and co-operation with all environmental organizations. Fiat has ambitious plans for making India its operational hub and plans to invest one billion US dollars in the coming years. Later the company introduced the Uno Europes favourite car for the last two decades into India. The Fiat 178 World Car Project has been developed specifically to expand production in overseas markets. This project includes international-class cars like the Siena sedan, the Siena Weekend station wagon and the Palio hatchback. Fiat has achieved a high level of localization for all its cars, and is making world-class cars available in India at even more competitive and affordable prices. Fiat Automobiles SpA owns the most-admired and sought-after models worldwide, including the Fiat Lancia, the Ferrari, the Maserati and the Alfa Romeo. Fiat is the only automobile manufacturer in the world that has won the coveted European Car of the Year award nine times. It is also the only company in the world that manufacturers recyclable cars. In the pipeline are ambitious plans to make India its operational hub in Asia in the future and invest US $1 billion here in the coming years.

SUGGESTIONS
1. Newspaper advertisements is very effective so enhance news paper advertisements and provide good service for existing customers which can help to increase positive word of mouth. 2. Delivery of car should be made at promised time. 3. In service station recruit the well experienced staff which will increase efficiency and performance of staff and improve the quality of service. 4. Most influential factors are trust, color choosing, extra offers and discounts and price variations between the dealers. Hence allow cash discounts on cash payments and provide offers in the form of 1 year free insurance, free accessories, increased number of free services, and technical support & guidelines. 5. Provide all committed offers at the time of delivery of the car, which can reduce the cognitive dissonance of the customer. 6. Instead of spending heavily for prospective customers, satisfy the existing customers which will increase positive word of mouth, and enhance the sales by their recommendations. 7. To reach the excellent stage of performance it has to overcome from commitment problem, service station problem, quality spares and accessories and should recruit the experienced service staff.
