How we measured this

We asked 10 questions a customer might ask about auto repair shops in Nashville, TN, once on each AI tool, through each tool's official API. For example:

  • My car broke down in Nashville, TN. Which auto repair shop should I call right now?
  • Who is the most trusted mechanic in Nashville, TN?
  • Which auto repair shop in Nashville, TN is best for check engine light diagnosis?

Perplexity searches the web and shows its sources. Gemini (model knowledge) answers without a web search, from what the model learned in training, so its picks can be out of date. A language model read each answer and listed the businesses it named, and a business counts once per answer. These results describe what AI said on these dates. They are not a rating of any business's work.
