The present study is an applied and exploratory research that aims at identifying and categorizing pricing indexes of brand value in auto industry. Population of the study includes a host of academic and administrative elites who were knowledgeable with auto industry, branding and brand valuation. A number of 35 experts were selected using a judgmental sampling method. Open-ended interviews were also used for identifying pricing indexes of brand value, which were later categorized using a five-point Likert scale close-ended questionnaire. In the categorization and screening phase, descriptive and inferential analyses such as Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, one-sample t-test, exploratory factor analysis, and mean test were used. Data analysis was done by Excel and SPSS. Finally, 9 major dimensions (differentiation, credit, awareness, bonding, trust, quality, loyalty, social responsibility, association) and 28 minor indexes were identified.
