I find that Google Reviews and DealerRater are losing their effectiveness. With so many stores begging for great reviews there is nothing to differentiate one place from the next. Yelp, although I think some of the methods they have employed are completely unjustified (removing good reviews from those who are a first time 'Yelper'), the reviews there are giving much more accurate feedback of what is going on in the store. What good is a review site if all it takes to get great scores is a little bit of begging and manipulation? Now, I wouldn't advertise mediocre Yelp scores, but I do use them to identify negative trends going on in the store, because usually there are issues that repeat themselves.Since every store is equal in how Yelp works, using them as a barometer against your competition is a very legit use for them, along with identifying issues.
