If yes, how is the relationship between these four variables? The automotive industry in India is one of the largest in the world and one of the fastest growing globally. Customer satisfaction and loyalty are the most important factors that affect the automotive industry. On the other hand, Customer service can be considered as an innate element of industrial products.
