The main problem is that bad shops can sound SO GOOD.. they know what the customer wants.
BOS had a guy that brought in a car for an estimate. They said something like $20k and 4 months..
Then the guy says "Well, XYZ shop down the street said it would only be $12k and two months"
Six months later the guy brought them him car. Seems like the other shop just took his money and barely worked on the car over the 6-months it was there.
In other words it's easy for shops to promise, it's somewhat harder to deliver. I like dealing with shops that tell me reality and not just spew forth what they think I want to hear.
The other problem is lowballing the estimate to get the work and then bleeding cash out of the guy once the car is in process.
