Consumers' Checkbook: Nonprofit organization providing ratings & reviews for local services

A trusted resource for informed decision-making, offering ratings, reviews, and guides on healthcare, autos, and more based on local customer surveys.

What is Consumers’ Checkbook?

Consumers' Checkbook is an independent, nonprofit consumer organization founded in 1974. For over 45 years, it has been dedicated to helping consumers get the best service and lowest prices.

Consumers' Checkbook conducts extensive surveys of consumers' experiences with local service providers in sectors like home improvement, auto repair, health care, and more. It compiles these surveys into consumer guides and websites that rate service quality and provide advice to help consumers make informed decisions and get the best deals.

Some of Consumers' Checkbook's best-known guides and websites include ratings and reviews of doctors and hospitals, mechanics, plumbers, auto insurers, nursing homes, banks, and home improvement contractors in major metropolitan areas. The surveys behind these ratings provide uniquely comprehensive assessments of local service providers' prices, quality, timeliness, staff expertise, and more.

Over 2 million consumers use Consumers’ Checkbook’s publications and websites each year as their guide before hiring a contractor, visiting a doctor, or choosing an insurance plan. The publications maintain their independence by refusing to take payments from the companies they evaluate, so consumers can trust their integrity.
