^ Having been on different car forums since 2001, I am sad to say that this often goes sideways. Here is an example genealogy of a repair site thread:

1. Some kudos reported
2. Some gripes reported
3. Something egregious reported
4. Viral growth of thread bashing vendor
5. Vendor boycotted
6. Vendor posts mitigating information
7. Major fight among forum users
8. Moderators shut down thread

Wow, nailed it. Internet Forum Psychology Expert!

... that said I'd still value the 6G version of Yelp for techs. ;-)

Thanks datadatum for your input, based on your comments I have edited the original post to see if we can make this work for the benefit of the GT350 community. Yes it may breakdown into a squabble, but I already see that in almost every forum. The goal is to find reliable service for these very special cars. If those posting can keep this in mind by using the rating system and refrain from talking about specific product, it may work.
