I've used these books to find everything from tailors, to mechanics, to dentists. It's a great resource when trying to spend money wisely.

I have subscribed to Checkbook for many years. It is something one simply cannot be without!

                      A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber

Very helpful for many kinds of services. Just because you have Angies List as I do, does not mean you don't need this too. Checkbook often has better or the only coverage.

                      A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber

My first "Go To" reference for anything in the Bay Area!

                      A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber

I shall stick with Checkbook. I'm dropping Angie's List because it is too expensive for what I get out of it. I don't trust Yelp, so right now Checkbook seems to be the best option for impartial reviews. I like the subscriber reviews too, and you changed the menu access to them.

Sample Subscriber Comments & Reviews for Hmeowners Isurance Firms in the San Francisco Bay 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).
