What the credentials mean
AAA Approved Auto Repair shops have been inspected by AAA, meet its standards for equipment, training and customer service, and agree to have AAA step in on a member's complaint.
The ASE Blue Seal of Excellence is given by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence to shops where most technicians hold ASE certifications and every area of service is covered by a certified technician.
BBB accreditation means the business has applied to the Better Business Bureau and committed to its standards for handling customers. We list accreditation only, never a letter grade.
A published warranty says how long the shop stands behind parts and labour. Ask for the terms in writing for your job.
Repair networks are groups of independent shops that share a parts supplier and, usually, a warranty you can use at other member shops when you travel.

Frequently asked questions
How do you rank auto repair shops?
Every shop in a city is scored on the same published credentials — AAA Approved Auto Repair, ASE Blue Seal, repair networks, published warranties, BBB accreditation and years in business — and the ten with the most points are listed. Shops cannot pay to be ranked.
Why don't you use star ratings?
Ratings can be bought, filtered and gamed, and they say little about whether a shop is trained and equipped for a particular repair. Credentials are issued by third parties and anyone can check them; every one we list links to its source.
My city isn't listed. What can I do?
We add cities as we research them. Meanwhile, the credentials explained on this page are what to look for in any repair shop: most issuers publish a locator you can search yourself.
