Parts Authority is noted for its competitive pricing but struggles with customer service consistency and account management. (AI guess, from 9 reviews.)
It measures how likely AI engines are to recommend a business, and how accurately. San Diego auto parts stores run 22 to 61. Fair starts at 45, good at 65. Parts Authority scores 22, below the San Diego average of 44. The same method scores every business on the registry.
