Over 2,000 shops for me this past 16 months and I've only been burned twice.
That's saying that 99.99% of all MSCs are generally honest and up-front.
Both of my burns, BTW, were by companies that were discussed heavily on this forum.
After that experience, I always search discussions here before committing more than $15-20 of my money to a shop for a new company I don't have experience with.
Edit to add: you can also start a thread here with "XYZ Company - feedback please" and the forum members will give you the lowdown. But do a search first using the Google search feature.
Good luck!
