Based on customer reviews on WOMO.com.au, we've tallied up the ratings to bring you the best and worst industries for customer service. First the bad… It turns out the new and used-car dealers, real-estate agents and removalists have earned their dodgy reputations. And not surprisingly, utilities, telecommunications and internet service providers infuriate us too. But amongst these, there are a few industries letting us down which might surprise you…

And now for the best industries… and there are more surprises here. Wedding businesses are well represented (does this reflect how we feel on the day?), we love our allied health services and we're also very happy with the pet minding services we use…

Does this mean that some industries actually possess more of a customer service focus? Is it easier to provide great service in some business types over others? Or are our expectations out of wack for certain types of services? And which type of industry would you rather be in – one with a reputation for great service, or one where it might be easier to shine? Agree or disagree?
