Ratings and review counts shown are Google ratings, displayed with attribution.
Each junk car buyer is scored on a Bayesian-weighted rating (its rating adjusted for how many reviews it has compared with the Rochester category average), how recently we verified its details, and how complete its listing is. Scores and ranks are stored, so the order only changes when the underlying data changes.
