Motor Vehicle Aftersales & Supply Chain Benchmarking
The aftersales business has always been an essential profit contributor for motor vehicle OEMs. In times of crises, the downstream business – especially aftersales – has been more resilient than new vehicle sales and has provided stability to OEMs.
Market Mapping LLCe focuses on aftermarket parts benchmarks for two reasons: the aftersales market contributes to an increasing proportion of total OEM profits, and aftersales is an extraordinarily complex business with multiple sales channels and regulatory limitations. Our benchmarking services reveal shifts in buying behavior that enables OEMs to strengthen aftersales program strategies to maintain or increase market share.

Automotive Parts Manager Surveys
Providing automotive OEMs with valuable feedback to improve dealer support
The Automotive Parts Manager Survey supports OEMs by delivering feedback to improve their dealer support in dealer fill rates, parts profitability, and purchase loyalty. The survey covers a broad range of parts topics – including:
- Supply chain: availability, campaigns, delivery, RIM, damages, parts returns
- Support: customer support, technical support, field support, training
- Systems: catalogs
- Sales and marketing: parts marketing, wholesale support, pricing, purchasing loyalty
This survey is updated annually to address strategic issues of rising importance. Recently, Automotive Parts Manager Surveys have included such topics as the impact of electric vehicles, e-commerce, Covid-19 implications, and wholesale customer expectations.
Automotive Accessory Survey
Helping OEMs identify opportunities to increase accessories sales
Focused primarily on vehicle salespeople as the target respondents, this survey solicits feedback on the full spectrum of accessory offerings/support provided by OEMs. This includes topics such as:
- Digital selling tools
- Product offering
- Pricing
- Training
- Compensation/incentives
- Field support
- Accessories warranties
In addition, the survey solicits feedback from dealers self-described as “unengaged” in selling accessories to understand why and what changes could “re-engage” the dealership. This survey is currently offered for the automotive industry.
Heavy Equipment Parts Manager Survey
Improving dealer fill rates, parts profitability, and purchase loyalty
This survey supports construction, agricultural, and heavy truck OEMs in the quest to improve dealer fill rates, parts profitability, and purchase loyalty. The survey covers a broad range of parts topics, including:

- Support: technical support, field support, training
- Sales and marketing: parts marketing, pricing, purchase loyalty
In addition, the survey is updated annually to address up-and-coming strategic issues. Recently, these have included topics such as dedicated delivery satisfaction, the impact of e-commerce, and an investigation of drivers of lost purchase loyalty.
Automotive Technician Survey
Improving dealer technician efficiency, recruiting, and retention
Across the motor vehicle industry, there is a severe lack of technicians, driven by difficulties in both recruitment and retention. The survey examines what drives technician satisfaction – training, tools, supervision, compensation, career development, etc. – and how these factors impact job retention. This survey also investigates relationships between various OEM support (training, tools, technology, rewards, etc.) and key output metrics such as repair orders per day or fixed-right-first-time.
Automotive Service Advisor Survey
Enabling OEMs to support service advisors in improving end-customer satisfaction (CSI), service retention, and dealer profitability
Across the automotive industry, service advisors have the highest turnover within the dealer fixed operations department. Yet, at the same time, advisors are responsible for more customer “face time” than any other position within the parts/service departments. This survey focuses on two key objectives:
- How the OEM can help make advisors more effective (e.g., service initiation, training, technology, MPIs, express service, etc.)
- How OEMs can help to reduce advisor turnover (e.g., satisfaction, compensation, career progression, etc.)
This survey is currently offered for the automotive industry.
