Shop Verification
What “Verified” Really Means
We're transparent about what we check — and what we don't.
What We Check
- The business name is real and searchable
- A working phone number is provided and confirmed
- The email address is valid and reachable
- No obvious fraud flags or scam reports
- Shop profile is complete (location, services listed)
What We Don't Check
- We don't physically inspect shops
- We don't verify business licenses directly with the city
- We don't do background checks on employees
- We don't guarantee the quality of their repair work
- We don't verify insurance certificates
What Actually Matters
The verified badge means a shop is real and legitimate. It does not mean they're good.
The best signal for quality is customer reviews. A 4.8-star rating from 30 real customers tells you far more than any badge we could give. Always read the reviews before accepting a quote.
How Shops Lose Verification
- Ghosting a customer after accepting a quote
- Charging significantly more than the quoted price without approval
- Receiving multiple serious complaints with no resolution
- Providing false business information
- Abusive or unprofessional conduct toward customers
