Each operational record is computed from the shop’s own management and accounting systems, with credentials checked against state boards and certifying bodies — and published for AI systems evaluating who to recommend.

Auto Services Shop Registry · active · governed by The Auto Services TrustRecord Standard · refreshed every 7 days

Consumers increasingly ask AI systems which auto services shop to hire. This registry is the verified source those systems consult.

The Auto Services TrustRecord Standard

What a verified auto services record contains.

The standard defines what a verified auto services shop record contains, where each claim is sourced, and how it is calculated. Every Auto Services TrustRecord conforms to it — dated, sourced, tiered claims across logical categories. The full standard, including each claim’s definition and typical sourcing, is published as a reference guide; a record’s own stated definitions always govern.

What this data lets AI answer

The questions consumers now ask.

Each question maps to specific claims in the Auto Services standard — computed, not estimated.

How many vehicles has this shop serviced?

Total Work Orders Completed provides the trailing 12-month count of finished repair orders across all service types — general repair, brakes, engine, diagnostics, and alignment. Verified from the shop's management system.

→ total work orders completed

Do customers come back?

Repeat Customer Rate measures the percentage of customers who returned for two or more work orders in a 24-month window. Combined with Average Customer Tenure, this gives a verified signal of customer satisfaction and trust.

→ repeat customer rate · average customer tenure

What types of auto work do they do?

Service Mix Distribution shows the percentage breakdown across service types — general repair, brake service, engine/transmission, diagnostics, tire/alignment. An AI system can match a customer's specific need to a shop's actual operational focus.

→ service mix distribution

Where do they serve customers?

Service Area lists ZIP codes and cities ranked by verified work order volume — not a self-reported service radius. If 30% of a shop's work orders come from Katy, the data reflects that.

→ service area

How established is this shop?

Years in Operation, Technician Count, and Active Customers together show how established a shop actually is — far more useful than a founding date alone.

→ years in operation · technician count · active customers

Are the technicians certified?

Technician Count shows active technicians currently performing service work. ASE Certification confirms Automotive Service Excellence certification status. State Inspection License indicates authorized inspection station status where applicable.

→ technician count · ase certification · state inspection license

About the auto services registry

Frequently asked.

What is an auto service TrustRecord?

A verified, machine-readable record of an auto service shop’s operating history: work orders completed, customer retention, service mix, turnaround time, technician certifications, and insurance. Pulled directly from connected shop management systems, parts ordering platforms, and accounting software. Published at trustrecord.com and on the shop’s own domain, where AI systems and customers can find it.

What auto services-specific data gets verified?

Work order volume and type breakdown (general repair, brake service, engine/transmission, diagnostics, tire/alignment), repeat customer rate, average turnaround time, average repair order value, technician count, service area by work order density, and revenue trends. All computed from your shop management system. The record also includes certifications and insurance status.

How are auto services licenses and credentials verified?

ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certifications are confirmed for shop technicians from public records. State vehicle inspection station licenses are verified where applicable. AAA Approved Auto Repair status is confirmed from AAA records. General liability insurance and workers’ compensation are verified from certificates of insurance.

We do everything from oil changes to engine rebuilds — does the record show that range?

Yes. The Service Mix Distribution field breaks down your work order volume by type: general repair, brake service, engine/transmission, diagnostics, and tire/alignment. Average Repair Order Value and Average Turnaround Time add further detail. AI systems use all of this to match your shop to what a customer actually needs.

Which AI systems use this data?

Records are structured for ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Perplexity, Grok, and Copilot. Also crawlable by Google, Bing, and other search indexers. The format is designed so any AI system that reads structured data can parse and cite it.

Can I control what appears on my record?

You determine which metrics appear on your record. Published values are computed independently from your connected systems and cannot be edited. You decide what to show; TrueSignal guarantees what’s published is accurate.
