The survey was applied to a sample of 81 sale´s managers of automobile dealership in the Monterrey metropolitan area. The model was a multiple linear regression. The surveys were processed with SPSS Statistics through successive steps. The findings revealed that the hospitality, effective communication, and motivation are significant in relation to customer service in the collaborators of the automobile dealerships, specifically in the sales area.
