Auto Repair Shops (Chains & Affiliate Networks)
U.S. Location Dataset // 18,563

18,563 auto repair locations across national chains and the affiliate networks that independent shops join, with address, phone and coordinates. The bulk of it, 9,595 locations, comes from the TechNet Professional network, which matters because those are genuinely independent shops rather than corporate stores — the hardest part of this market to reach and the part with local buying authority. The rest is Mavis, Meineke and Monro. Be clear on what this is: the US has roughly 230,000 automotive repair establishments and there is no registry of any kind, so this file is about 8% of that universe and is named for chains and affiliate networks rather than pretending otherwise. It is the reachable, verifiable slice. Parts distributors, tool and equipment suppliers, shop-management software vendors and warranty providers use affiliate-network membership as a qualification signal in its own right.

All 18,563 records, as published — the complete set rather than a sample. That matters most for coverage and gap questions: put together the same list from partial searches and every location you miss reads as a gap that is not there, so the answer is wrong rather than merely late. Assembling the U.S.-wide coverage by hand also means one query per area against sources that cap what they return per search.
