"Whomever I call, it will be a firm that gets two checkmarks from Consumers’ CHECKBOOK. "

"[Consumers’ CHECKBOOK] takes no advertising, so there's no tainting the ratings."

Great insight in to who to call or where to turn when you need repairs on your car, appliances, home, etc. in Chicago. I've never had a bad experience when I've used one of the services that rated well.

Sample Subscriber Comments & Reviews for Audio Equipment Stores in the Chicago 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).
