Consumers' Checkbook

Consumers' CHECKBOOK/Center for the Study of Services is an independent, nonprofit consumer organization founded in 1974 with the help of funding from the U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs and Consumers Union (publisher of Consumer Reports).〔()''CHECKBOOK About Us''〕 CHECKBOOK/CSS’s purpose is to provide survey information to consumers about vendor quality of services and prices.
The organization publishes Consumers' CHECKBOOK magazine in both print and online versions in the Boston, Chicago, Delaware Valley, Puget Sound, San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose, Twin Cities, and Washington, D.C., areas. Consumers’ CHECKBOOK evaluates the quality and prices of local service companies, professionals, and stores, such as auto repair shops, plumbers, doctors, dentists, banks, insurance companies, health clubs, garden nurseries, and kennels and makes the results available in its magazine and on its website.
==Organization Background==
Robert Krughoff, CHECKBOOK's founder, had the idea for CHECKBOOK magazine as he drove away from an auto repair shop where he had been three times for the same repair and realized he would have to go back again to get it done right. He concluded "it would be good if there was some way to find out which are the good auto repair shops."〔David Kestenbaum, ("New Web Site Lets Patients Rate Their Doctors" ), ''NPR'', August 14, 2009〕 CHECKBOOK has won the National Press Club's First Place Award for Excellence in Consumer Journalism, and in 2000 was honored, alongside its founder Robert Krughoff, with the Esther Peterson Consumer Service Award.〔(Consumer Federation of America Presents Annual Consumer Service Awards )''Consumer Federation of America'', June 14th, 2000〕 Consumers' CHECKBOOK is supported entirely by subscription payments and donations from individual magazine and website subscribers, and through revenue from selling its books and survey and information services. The organization does not accept donations from businesses and its publications carry no advertising.〔Annys Shin, ("30 Years of Obsessive Consumerism" ), ''Washington Post'', Dec 18, 2006〕
