What CarFolks does for the auto buying public is to provide a list of dealerships (as dealerships are bought and sold and franchises change our list may not be complete so we’ll ask you to call or email us if we miss someone or the info isn’t correct) and the ability for car and truck buyers to join our neighborhood and the rate the performance of the dealership and even the performance of the sales or service people at the dealership where you bought or serviced your vehicle. Then we make those ratings public for the world to see. In this way we can reward the dealers doing a great job of serving their customers and encourage our neighbors on CarFolks to buy or service their vehicles at those dealerships. See full story here
