A questionnaire is designed to focus on issues related to efforts made to investigate causes of service failure and to develop recovery strategies that meet customer expectations of how their car repair service should handle such problems.

Moreover, the investigation of the mediation role of perceived behavioral control on the link between complaints handling and loyalty could enhance the research model.
