Where the listings come from
Business names, addresses, phone numbers and websites start from open geodata: the Overture Maps Foundation places dataset, which includes Foursquare OS Places and OpenStreetMap contributions. We keep auto repair shops and mechanics — general repair, transmission, muffler, brake, A/C and diesel specialists, smog check and state inspection stations, and tire and auto service centers that do mechanical repair. We remove duplicates (the same name and street in the same city) and drop businesses that are reported closed or that asked to be removed.
A city gets its own page when it has at least two auto repair shops; towns with a single listing appear on their state page, so no page is built around one business.
What a listing shows
97% of listings have a phone number and 45% link to the business's own website. Opening hours appear only where the business or its owner has published them. We do not show ratings or reviews, and we do not copy text from other directories.
How features are marked
Smog checks, state inspections, transmission work, mobile service, diesel and truck repair, European and import specialists, muffler and exhaust work and A/C repair are marked from the business name and its listing category and, for many listings, from what the business’s own website says. Every detail taken from a website — services, makes, certifications, warranty and hours — was matched word for word against the page before it went on the card. These marks are applied by software — name rules, wording rules run over each business's own website, and an AI model that reads that website — not written by hand. A mark from a website is kept only when the wording is found on the page, so a business without a mark may still offer the service — call to check.

Corrections from owners
Owners can correct their listing for free — new hours, a changed phone number, a moved address, services they offer. Corrections are applied and the listing is marked "Updated by the owner" with the month. 1 listings carry that mark today. Owners can also ask for a listing to be removed, and the removal is permanent. Write to [email protected].
How lists are ordered
Top 10 lists and the order of each city page follow how complete a listing is — website, phone, hours, services — and whether the owner has checked it. No business can pay for a position.
How often it is updated
The directory is rebuilt from the current data every night, so owner corrections usually appear within a day. The underlying geodata is refreshed from new Overture releases.
