Questions
Should I pick #1 or #2?
It is close. The Wheel Deal scores 4.90 on a 5.0 rating and 264 reviews. CROWN MOTORS OTTAWA scores 4.88 on a 4.9 rating but 1,096 reviews, giving it 93% confidence against 76%. One is a higher rating, the other steadier evidence.
Why does ABM Auto, with a 5.0 rating, sit third?
ABM Auto has 205 reviews, fewer than The Wheel Deal's 264. Fewer reviews means more of its score is pulled toward the 4.57 Ottawa-area average, so it lands at 4.87, 0.02 behind #1.
Why are Midas, Speedy Auto Service and NAPA AUTOPRO missing?
Each is a chain with 10 or more locations in Canada, and this list leaves those out. Mr. Lube + Tires, Canadian Tire Auto Centre and DECO Windshield Repair are left out for the same reason.
