2022 J.D. Power U.S. Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study

The J.D. Power U.S. Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study is the most in-depth, independent survey of automotive dealer personnel and their evaluations of captive and non-captive financing providers. The study identifies key dimensions of satisfaction among dealers with their lenders and recognizes strengths and opportunities for improvement against competitors.

When retail credit analysts use their dealer’s preferred channel of communication, KPI credit staff availability increases as much as 63%. Additionally, one contact problem resolution KPI increases as much as 17%.
