BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Widewail, the leading customer review and reputation management solution, announced today that Arlington Toyota has earned the top spot for dealer reputation among all car dealerships in the Jacksonville, Florida market. The rankings were released as part of the inaugural Widewail Automotive Reputation Index and are determined by an extensive analysis of Google reviews. Rankings are calculated based on frequent and sustained review activity, average star ratings, and level of review response engagement with the majority of customers who leave reviews.

With an overall score of 98 out of a possible total of 100, Arlington Toyota ranked above Coggin Toyota at the Avenues, which earned a score of 84, and Keith Pierson Toyota, which scored 74. Notably, the region’s three biggest Toyota dealerships claimed the top three spots in the Jacksonville rankings. The remainder of the top 10 includes Lexus of Jacksonville (72), Lexus of Orange Park (69), Nimnicht Chevrolet (69), Mercedes-Benz of Orange Park (67), Beaver Chevrolet (67), Hodges Mazda at the Avenues (66), and AutoNation Ford Orange Park (65).

“Given the role that customer experience plays today in local search rankings, online reputation has never been more vital to the success and growth of the dealership,” said Matt Murray, CEO of Widewail. “Online reviews are a critical decision-making tool for service customers and buyers engaged in the shopping process. The Widewail Automotive Reputation Index brings reviews to the center of the discussion; it exists to provide car dealers with deeper insights into how they perform based on Google reviews displayed alongside competitors.”

In addition to overall dealership rankings in the market, Widewail published separate rankings of the top 5 luxury dealer reputation leaders, recalculating scores based only on the luxury subset in Jacksonville. Lexus of Jacksonville earned a top ranking, with a score of 99, followed by Lexus of Orange Park (90), Mercedes-Benz of Orange Park (87), Mercedes-Benz of Jacksonville (79), and Fields Cadillac of Jacksonville (76).

“All the dealerships earning top rankings in the Widewail Automotive Reputation Index should be celebrated for delivering an exceptional customer experience to their sales and service customers,” added Murray. “Every part of the online reputation management process is important to their business and their future success.”
