Subscriber Comments
(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 shown (with the bar graphs) above. Those percentages are generally based on much larger numbers of consumers' ratings (the number of consumer ratings is noted above).

To get a reading on a firm's overall price level, note how much above or below average the firm's "price" index score is; the average price index score for all firms is $100; so, for example, a price index score of $110 indicates our undercover shoppers found prices at the firm 10 percent above the all-firm average for the items we checked. You can also look for firms that got our checkmark for price.
