The website AutoMD wants to empower consumers looking to get a fair price for their car repairs, and as part of the site’s overall makeup, it has included a study on the best and worst cities to get your car fixed.

To create the Advocacy for Repair Shop Fairness Report, AutoMD sent mystery shoppers to 600 repair shops in the top 50 markets to compile quoted prices for a repair. AutoMD then judged the facilities of each city based on affordability, price disparity and shop integrity.

The results saw Memphis, Tenn., as the top city for a fair repair, followed by Jacksonville, Fla.; Omaha, Neb.; San Antonio; and Austin, Texas.

As for the worst, Raleigh, N.C.; Washington, D.C.; Albuquerque, N.M.; and Honolulu fell 46-49 in the rankings. And yes, here at KickingTires we were dispirited to find our hometown of Chicago in 50th place, otherwise known as dead last.

Follow the link to find out where your city ranks.
