This is a list of CB shops that have a generally good national reputation, and whose work has been seen and given thumbs up by top techs in the industry. This list is a combined effort of shops and individual techs, and well as input from major CB and export brands. The list is very short right now, but is growing slowly as more shops that seem to know what they are doing are discovered. Shop names that have a known website are shown as clickable links.

NOTE: These shops are recommended from a technical and/or warranty center standpoint. You'll need to determine for yourself on an individual basis if you want to trust them. The best efforts are made to keep info up-to-date, but sometimes shops change hands and new employees come in, which can, in some cases, lead to a shop which once did good work beginning to perform inferior service.

Shops listed below aren't as well-known, but are shops that I feel are worth a look. I list them because I've seen their work on the bench, or heard their work over the air, and have been impressed with what I heard.
