   There is a web site at http://www.fivestar.com/ but there is
precious little information there regarding exactly what a dealership
has to do to become and stay a 5-star, looks like the site is mostly
marketing hype.

   I personally wouldn't put any stock into a dealership being 5-star.
You're probably just as likely to get shafted at either type and just
as likely to get good service from either type. I think it all comes
down to the people behind the counter. The folks at the 5 star
dealership obviously went through the effort to get the 5 star rating,
but wether you can read any more into it than that, I dunno... Most
of the dealerships in my area are 5-star, so its not exactly an
exclusive club.
