"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."
"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."
Just want to say how grateful I am for Checkbook. I have used their recommendations for a mechanic, orthopedist, primary care physician, opthamologist, roofer, pest control service, tree service, and have been happy with everyone.

What a great resource for finding quality services at reasonable prices.
A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber
I wish every locale had a Checkbook…Checkbook covers it ALL! Friends who have never heard it get really excited when I show it to them. My dentist and doctor were both really pleased when I showed them their high marks.
A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber
Consumer Checkbook has been used frequently by our family for many years. It's a great resource for quality and reasonable costs for repairs/services/products.
A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber
I've been a fan for years. Probably my two biggest successes with CHECKBOOK were the tips in finding a dentist and in procuring and installing new windows in our home. It's a MUST reference.
A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber
I revere Checkbook and always tell my friends and neighbors when I once more found a great plumber or whatever I needed. Your listings never disappoint.
A Consumers' CHECKBOOK Subscriber
I have much to thank Checkbook for. You have saved me a passle of money, I have used throughout this 220K renovation, I am 1/2 way through…Some day I will sit down and figure out how many thousands and tens of thousands of dollars you have saved me…

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 Auto Repair Shops Get High Praise from Their Customers. Some Others Don't. So Choose Carefully.
Here Are a Few Samples of the Thousands of Comments CHECKBOOK Has Collected on Hundreds of Different Auto Repair Shops.
