There Is Finally a Place to Find Information About Quality Auto Repair; GreatMechanics.com Offers Consumers Information on Reliable Service

    DENVER, Feb. 17 -- Since the invention of auto repair shops,
consumers have been wary of their quality standards and services.  A resource
providing accurate and trustworthy information about quality auto repair had
not been readily available for consumers, until now.
    GreatMechanics.com, (http://www.GreatMechanics.com), is a Web site that provides
consumers information on auto repair shops based on actual customer ratings.
The consumer has the ability to rate their experiences with a given shop.  All
shops featured on the site can be found according to their city and state.
    GreatMechanics.com sets strict standards to ensure high quality auto
repair and customer service.  Most repair shops featured on the Web site
guarantee their work.  They are required to have a clean record with the
Better Business Bureau, employ certified technicians who maintain customer
service and educational standards.  Each employee must agree to, and sign an
actual "Oath of Integrity."
    By visiting GreatMechanics.com, consumers in need of reliable auto repair
can access a particular shop's customer opinions, comments and
recommendations.  Site visitors can also access certifications, awards, and
owner and technician bios on any shop featured on GreatMechanics.com.  The Web
site provides interactive maps, coupon offers and specialties, addresses,
phone and fax numbers and business hours for individual repair shops.
    "GreatMechanics.com is a credible and reliable resource that goes far
beyond the yellow pages," says Jim Christopherson, CEO and founder of
GreatMechanics.com.  "It answers the needs of consumers by providing them with
honest auto repair information.  Our repair shops are not the grease pits of
years ago.  The owners are true professionals wanting to provide both
excellent repairs and wonderful service."
    The Web site was recently inundated with visitors after one of its
featured auto repair shops, Keller Brothers Texaco of Littleton, Colo., was
voted Best Repair Shop in the nation by CarQuest.  Another featured repair
shop, Seyfer Automotive in Wheat Ridge, Colo., achieved regional recognition
by NAPA when Donny Seyfer won the 2000 Technician of the Year award.
    GreatMechanics.com has an established partnership with the Automotive
Service Association (ASA).  Serving more than 13,000 businesses and
approximately 70,000 professionals from all segments of the automotive service
industry, ASA advances professionalism and excellence in the automotive repair
industry through education, representation and member services.
