Boston Consumers’ Checkbook

Consumers’ Checkbook is an independent, nonprofit consumer organization founded in 1974 with the help of funding from the U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs. The Boston Consumers’ Checkbook evaluates the quality and prices of local service firms and stores, such as auto repair shops, plumbers, dentists, veterinarians, banks, insurance companies, and many more. Checkbook’s special health guides provide you with critical ratings and reports on doctors, hospitals, and health plans.
