Consumer Checkbook provides a rating for both price and quality of work for many plumbing, electrical, and computer repair companies in our area. I use it every month or so. As valuable to me as Angie's List.

Sample Subscriber Comments & Reviews for Computer Stores in the Twin Cities 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 Computer Stores Get High Praise from Their Customers.
Some Others Don't. So Choose Carefully.
