“Its own page says open 24/7 from a San Antonio shop and posts after-hours fees (untested), its BBB profile (matched by address and phone) is accredited A+ with no complaints, and a Texas license record matches by name and county.”
“Its own page claims same-day diagnostics with an $89 diagnostic waived with repair and posted repair ranges (untested) and its BBB profile is A+ with no complaints, but its Texas license could not be confirmed.”
“It claims 24/7 dispatch and same-day service and has an active Texas license, but its llms.txt frames content as short answers worded 'Polar Express says...' for AI use and no BBB profile was found despite its claim of BBB accreditation.”
“It claims 24/7 emergency service and same-day diagnostics with no prices, and no BBB or license check was done.”
“It offers same-day and weekend appointments only 'whenever possible' with no price, and no BBB or license check was done.”
“It claims same-day and 24/7 with no prices, and no BBB or license check was done.”
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.
