摘要:This study aimed to empirically examine what effects confidence, social, and economic benefit factors have on continuous relationship orientation through the mediation of service trust, service satisfaction, and customer engagement factors in the auto maintenance and repair service sector. This study carried out a questionnaire survey with 319 customers using auto maintenance and repair service and verified hypotheses. As a result of the analysis, the confidence and social benefits of auto maintenance and repair service affected service trust, while the confidence and economic benefits affected service satisfaction. Service trust did not affect customer engagement or long-term relationship continuity but affected them when it mediated service satisfaction. Consequently, it was revealed that confidence benefit should be consolidated and that professionalism or service quality excellence in maintenance or repair becomes the most important factors to produce customer engagement or long-term relationship continuity in the auto maintenance and repair service. Although it is vital to improve trust or service, it is confirmed that a relationship can be maintained only if the auto maintenance or repair service is satisfactory.
