This research examines how customer satisfaction and trust impact customer loyalty within Indonesia's four-wheel automotive refinancing sector. Through a quantitative survey approach, information was gathered from 119 participants who had previously utilized refinancing services at PT X, an organization associated with a prominent automotive manufacturer. The study employed the SERVQUAL framework to measure service quality, complemented by Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) and Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) to gauge customer attitudes and satisfaction rates. Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to analyze the interconnections between satisfaction, trust, and loyalty variables. Results demonstrate that customer satisfaction significantly and positively influences both trust and loyalty, with trust also showing a substantial impact on loyalty. Empathy and responsiveness were identified as critical service dimensions needing enhancement. The overall CSI value of 79.8% indicates customers are "satisfied" with current services. The research emphasizes that improving essential service characteristics can markedly enhance customer loyalty and retention in automotive refinancing, offering practical recommendations for strategic decision-making in this industry sector.
