Differential reveals Thailand body and paint customer satisfaction declines in 2026, as Service Quality emerges as the critical industry gap
Differential Thailand has released the results of its second annual 2026 Thailand Body and Paint Customer Experience Index (BPCXI) Study℠. Following the inaugural 2025 study, the 2026 results reveal that industry-wide customer satisfaction with authorized body and paint repair services has declined, falling 7 points to 893 out of 1,000. The downturn is driven not by amenities or accessibility — which have actually improved — but by erosion in the core fundamentals of the repair experience itself.

The BPCXI study measures overall satisfaction among vehicle owners who received body and paint repair services at authorized centers over the past 12 months. Satisfaction is evaluated across five key factors: Timeliness, Personnel & Facilities, Service Quality, Convenience & Accessibility and Communication & Transparency.
The 2026 study is based on responses from 1,552 vehicle owners who purchased their vehicles between October 2020 and November 2025 and had them serviced between October 2024 and November 2025. Fieldwork was conducted nationwide using face-to-face interview methodology.
