How many auto shops and services are listed across the Palm Springs metro?
One right now, in Cathedral City. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
How do I know a mechanic is qualified?
Look for ASE-certified technicians for the kind of repair you need, and get a written estimate before any work starts.
Can I ask for my old parts back?
Yes, and it is a good habit. Ask when you approve the estimate, since some states require shops to return them if you ask at that point.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest an auto shop that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know an auto shop we're missing?
Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
