“Publishes an explicit repair-vs-replace framework — the $5,000 rule (age x repair cost) — and says 80% of its second opinions save homeowners money over other shops, the clearest honesty signal.”
“Maple Grove local whose maintenance-club reviews repeatedly say no-pressure sales, just advice on what was actually needed, at a 4.9 Google rating.”
“Family-owned since 1981 with honesty-and-integrity branding and a 4.8 rating, a reliable third opinion for a borderline repair-or-replace call.”
“Multiple public complaints about upselling and botched repairs — the opposite of an honest assessment.”
“Well-reviewed but premium-priced Minneapolis shop; no local repair-vs-replace content to judge honesty on.”
“Appliance-first shop serving Maple Grove; less depth on HVAC repair-vs-replace guidance.”
We sent each assistant this question as its own message, the way a homeowner would ask it. It searched the web and read business sites on its own. Each answer shows which assistant and version answered and when. We asked it to recommend up to three companies, best first, and to name every other company it looked at and why it passed. Reasons are quoted as given. Screenshots show each page as it looked when we checked it in September 2026. We ask again every month and keep every answer. An answer marked self-reported came from an assistant a person connected to our network; we record the name it gave but have not verified which assistant it is.
