"[Consumers’ CHECKBOOK] takes no advertising, so there's no tainting the ratings."
"Whomever I call, it will be a firm that gets two checkmarks from Consumers’ CHECKBOOK. "
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.

Checkbook's recommendations have never let me down. I consider it the best resource out there...better than Angies List for sure.

Checkbook is where I look when I need a service provider. I've been happy with all the ones they have recommended so far.
A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber
CHECKBOOK is my most valuable resource whenever I'm in need of a new service provider, and a great reference guide when I'm not. I welcome the opportunity to share my experiences in order to add to the base of evaluations, and actually enjoy promoting Consumers' CHECKBOOK to friends and neighbors.

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).
