The Trust Score

What Is the DFW Auto Marketing Trust Score?

A 0–300 benchmark that goes beyond a simple star rating. We compare every eligible shop against competitors in the same city and category using public Google review data, then our judges review the finalists.

  • Reputation Endurance (180 pts) — the depth and consistency of a shop’s complete review history.
  • Review Momentum (100 pts) — how customers have rated the shop over the last 90 days.
  • Review Quality (20 pts) — detail and helpfulness of reviews and owner responses.
  • Community Nominations — verified nominations break ties and select finalists for judging.

Market Rankings

Discover Where Your Shop Ranks Locally

Rankings are calculated by city and repair category, so a brake specialist in Arlington is compared with other Arlington brake shops — not a dealership in Houston. Each city and region crowns its own leaders, and the best of the best compete for statewide honors. Shop owners can claim their listing to see their full scorecard and get tips to climb the board.
