I think they call this the Better Business Bureau. But I definitely would not put all stock in BBB as a single source for this information.

In theory, but in practice the BBB is usually a pay-to-play sort of racket where as long as a member doesn't have active litigation happening, you can likely swing an A+ rating and still be a terrible company. It's business oriented, not consumer.
