Who does AI name for auto repair shops?

Car repair and maintenance: brakes, transmissions and state inspections.

The ranking

Not measured yet: the first measurement for this industry is scheduled. The full ranking will appear here, with its date, as soon as it runs.

The questions we ask

The same 8 buyer questions every month, none of them naming a business:

  • What are the best auto repair shops in Dallas?
  • My car needs a new transmission. Which repair shop would you recommend?
  • Which mechanic has the best reviews in Kansas City?
  • Can you recommend a trustworthy shop for routine car maintenance?
  • How much does a brake pad replacement cost at a repair shop?
  • Which independent auto shop in San Jose is better than going to the dealership?
  • Where should I get a state inspection in Pennsylvania?
  • Who can repair an electric vehicle in the Bay Area?
  • How we measure this

    Engines asked: ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude. Each one answers as it would for someone in the US.

    We send every question to every engine, then a separate model lists, in order of appearance, the specific businesses each answer named. Generic terms are dropped (search engines, government agencies, cities, review sites): only real businesses count.

    A call that fails (the engine doesn’t respond, or the answer can’t be read) never counts as “this business was not named”. It is left out entirely, so the number of measured answers is always less than or equal to the number of questions sent.

    Each business’s share is out of the answers we actually measured, never out of every question sent: if some calls fail, nobody’s percentage drops because of it.
