Default Vendor Rating System

I would like to see a vendor rating system in place on the Corvette Forum. It would help Vette owners make decisions on who to buy from and more importantly who to bring their car to for performance upgrades. A rating system would encourage vendors to keep customer service a HIGH PRIOITY. Vendors with good customer service reviews would be rewarded with additional business, & vendors with poor customer service reviews would know that they need to improve or risk losing business. I would think that many supporting vendors would embrace this system as a way to establish themselves as Premium Vendors. I know there are many small to medium size vendors that would stand to gain much as they have built their business on HIGH STANDARDS. In addition there are some larger vendors with high recognition but now operate with LOWER STANDARDS. A rating system like this is used by many internet sites such as NEXTAG, Ebay,et..Customers could fill in a short survey with standardized ratings such as 1-5 or "stars"(1-4,5,?). I don't want this to be so complicated as to keeping it from becomming a reality because I feel there is a real need we as consumers have to getting what we pay for under the terms in which we make the purchase/install.

And YES I just recently had a bad experience with a CF Vendor but at this time I am working with them to correct their overcharging me & poor install quality. In addition their delivery on install was 1 month after time promised. So far they are mostly in denial, but I am "compromising much" in an effort just to get my car right.
