"For years, one of my most favorite consumer publications has been Washington Consumers' CHECKBOOK. It's where I always go to check on the best car-repair shops, plumbers, furniture stores, doctors, roofers, cobblers, etc. You name the field, CHECKBOOK has price and quality ratings for the companies."
"If you don't have a friend or a neighbor who happens to know a great doctor or contractor for every occasion, you might try Washington Consumers' CHECKBOOK magazine."

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).
