Default Recommended Businesses

Hi all...

I'm trying to make a data base which recognises good businesses.

If successful it will provide a resource which you can look up and find a business which has been recommended by other forum members, and therefore will hopefully provide you with the best quality service and price.

For example: You are looking for an exhaust shop in Sydney.

You should be able to use the search mode to look up exhausts and Sydney, and find the reviews which other forum members have written about.

I would lay it out like this - but any suggestions are welcome.

Business type: Tyres

Location: Midland ( Perth )

Why you recommend them: They put the wrong tyres on. I didn't realise until 6 weeks later ( and 8000km ), yet still replaced the tyres anyway.

Service: 10/10
Quality of work: 7/10
Price: 7/10

Quality of work: 10/10
Price: It was free! 20/10.

I think this system works OK - obviously lists a few businesses in the market segment and has a simple positive and negative score. If someone has a score of 1/1, that's not much to work with - hard to praise them or sink the boot in. A score of 50/5 (50 positives/5 negatives) means mostly good - and a score of 5/50 is bad.
