¹: A value of zero or an empty element indicates that this dealer has no reviews in that category.
²: A value of zero or empty means that the dealer has no data for this attribute over the last 24 months. In that case, the data should be shown as N/A (not applicable). As an example, if a dealer receives 10 reviews over the last 24 months, but each review only rates the dealer on Overall Experience, then the Price, Quality of Work, Friendliness and Customer Service ratings will all be N/A.
