Dataset boundary
Mechanic Head's public launch dataset organizes repair listings into 16 service categories and thousands of city-level directories. The public site uses shop-level fields and service signals, not individual review content.
What the data can and cannot say
The dataset is useful for directory coverage and service availability. It should not be read as a national demand survey, pricing survey, or endorsement of any shop.
