When I look to hire a service in the Boston area, I check here first.

                      A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber

Lot's of information there, more then I expected.   My first thought is I wish I had known about Consumers Checkbook sooner as I certainly would have subscribed a while ago.  

                      A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber

I chose [a firm] because of their checkbook rating and they were superior... We are thrilled with the result, and the cost was reasonable as well.

                      A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber

I had an electrical problem with my "old" car (which can take a very long time to find and repair). I found this place through Checkbook... I will never need another auto mechanic, until he retires.

                      A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber

On the strength of the other positive [CHECKBOOK} reviews, we contacted [business name] when one of the springs on our door broke. Amazingly, the owner came in the next day and replaced not only the broken spring but several other items -- all for a very modest sum...

Hi.  I am thrilled with your service, thank you.

Sample Subscriber Comments & Reviews for Auto Detailers in the Boston Area
CHECKBOOK provides subscriber comments on their experiences with the firms they use. Please remember that individual subscriber comments are informal. Subscriber comments may give you insight into the types of features and problems that exist in a service field, but are not the best basis for selecting or rejecting a specific firm. To assess the quality of a firm's performance, we recommend that you give more weight to the percentages of favorable ratings. Those percentages are generally based on much larger numbers of consumers' ratings (the number of consumer ratings is noted above).

As You Can See Below, Some Auto Detailers Get High Praise from Their Customers.
Some Others Don't. So Choose Carefully.
