I am considering using a locating service but don't know how to separate the wheat from the chaff. Anyone have a list of questions I should be asking when I interview different services? How can I protect myself from paying for bad locations?

Never pay 100% up front. Wait untill you have a location, and check it out to pay. A truthful and honest locator will have no problem with this. Some require a 50-50 payment (half up front half after). Just be careful.

Great advice in just one word: Don't. If you can't do the locating yourself, stay out of vending.
