AUGOCOM T300 Angie's List prides itself on having a thorough verification process of its opinions, which cover everything from ads automotive repair at home and even wedding planning. In research we have done for our region, the list of Angie provided a number of repair shops nearby, but we found the volume of comments with respect to lack Yelp. For example, a repair shop, we used for the Lexus was just an opinion on Angie's List, and it is from 2008. The same store had 22 reviews on Yelp, the most recent being less than a month old.

The small number of opinions on Angie's List can be both a good and a bad thing. On the one hand, the possibility of a review falsified drops considerably, since the site requires a paid subscription to access the site and post a comment. But at the same time, it is difficult to have an idea for a store that has very few comments.
