This study will use the servqual model and other measurement methods to examine and analyze the case. Divergent methodologies are conducted to examine the distinct antecedent causes and consequential effects. Key findings will be based on the conceptual framework and five dimensions: assurance, tangibles, responsiveness, reliability, and empathy. According to research, customers are not satisfied with unprofessional service providers, unorganized schedule, and pricing that do not meet expectations.
