Article Abstract:
The implementation of guarantee services results to improved customer perception of service quality particularly when the market is marked with wide disparities in service quality. The effectiveness of guarantee services, however, is mitigated when other quality indicators are available in different market situations. Nevertheless, the presence of information about the service quality level of the firms offering guarantees and the service guarantee itself interact to affect the pre-purchase analysis of consumers.
