All sorts of information like that is available from one source, The Delaware Valley Consumers' Checkbook.The Delaware Valley Consumers' Checkbook.
Robert Krughoff, President of Checkbook, explains, "Checkbook rates all kinds of local service firms, tores and professionals. Everything from auto repair shops to plumbers to hospitals to supermarkets."
The Checkbook is available online or via a twice-yearly magazine subscription.
You DO have to pay to access all of Checkbook's information, but there's a reason. They don't accept any advertising.
Krughoff says their no-advertising policy ensures there's no question of bias in their ratings.
Checkbook gathers most of their information on everything from acupuncturists to hearing aid stores, from lawn-care services to dog kennels by surveying consumers.
But sometimes, they use other methods, like asking body-shop owners which auto insurance companies they find the easiest to deal with, or looking at death rates for local hospitals.
