So we're looking for a new mechanic. I'm worried about getting taken for a ride, so I decide to join Angie's List. I'm halfway through the registration process when something comes up and I have to leave. So I close it out. That evening, there's an email to me offering a discounted rate to join Angie's List. I shrug and figure that I will check it out later. Now, this morning, there's a new email telling me "ooops, we meant to give you a bigger discount" with a 40% off discount code. Frankly, they are starting to sound like the sleeze balls I was hoping to avoid by joining. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
|
Yep. I've tried to use things like that before. They just want your money. |

I've heard a number of people saying Angie's List is a waste of time. |

According to one often played TV commercial you only need to look for the guys with the cape. |

Uh, 89th? That's what this whole thread is about. Unless you are being sarcastic? |

I have wished for a free Angie's list type site, and the money cost always stopped me. Besides that, there is so much variation in opinion on stuff like that. A shop gets a bad rating by a competitor. They put in their own phony good ratings. A customer doesn't understand the shop's legitimate issues and gives them a bad rating. A bad rating is given based on one employee's work, but that employee was let go two years before. A good rating is given for an employee's work but that employee left two years ago. I checked into some ratings for a motel in the same city that my wife and I honeymooned in. There was a good deal on a few nights thru groupon. Reviews were all over the place. Some sounding terrible, some sounding great, scattered all over all times. I decided it was better just pass on it. |

No, I'm not being sarcastic at all. (If you could hear me say that out loud, you'd know I'm being sarcastic about that too) |
