Blocked or unavailable: CARFAX and RepairPal (bot checks / HTTP 403), BBB profile pages, Yelp (bot check) and Facebook (login). We did not get around any of them. AAA’s public directory and BBB’s search results were read directly. CARFAX and RepairPal figures appear only as labeled search snippets (unconfirmed; never scored).
