New Delhi, 16 October 2026: What makes a car dealership stand out—not just the cars it sells or services, but the experience it delivers to customers? CarPhD announces India’s Top 1% Car Dealers, recognising outstanding dealerships based on actual customer ratings and reviews. Featured as part of CarPhD Choice 2026, these car dealerships stand out for their customer-rated experience, offering car buyers valuable insights into dealership reputation and service quality.
Representing 224 dealership listings across 200 ranks, including tied positions, the list draws on a combined 87,857 customer reviews. It offers a customer-driven perspective on dealership reputation and experience, independent of vehicle sales volumes or manufacturer market share.
The rankings span a diverse range of automotive brands, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Kia, Renault, Volkswagen, Škoda, Toyota, Honda, Tata Motors, Mahindra, MG, Nissan, BYD, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Jaguar, Land Rover and Jeep, among others.

Anuj Guglani, CEO, CarPhD & WAF Group said, “Numbers tell a very interesting story. Nearly 88,000 customer reviews, more than 200 dealerships of 18 car brands across 16 cities have come together to create a remarkably clear picture of customer experience in Indian automotive retail. The biggest surprise is that the winners are not necessarily the brands with the biggest networks. Customer experience is increasingly becoming the great equaliser—and consumers are clearly recognising dealerships that get it right. CarPhD Choice is our attempt to put that customer voice at the centre of the automotive retail conversation.”
