It appears to be some issues with the Moz rankings tracker, although it hasn't been confirmed. It has happened on my site and I noticed another thread earlier where someone was having the same issue. Not 100% sure this is the case based on the screen shot you provided but since others are seeing similar issues I would say it's not an issue with your site.

BTW, it appears to be Geolocation results that are impacted. Notice in your screen shot the results that dropped were Woodbridge location results, not the national ones.

Hello!

I can confirm our tools are capturing the rankings as they appear for the locale and search engines setup. For example when searching on Google directly for "auto shops" with location set to Woodbridge, VA, the home page is not found in the top 50 search results.

The issues linked by Kyle are only for delayed collections and we currently have no known issues with our accuracy. You can run manual searches using an incognito window with your location set in Google to try to confirm:

Hope this helps!
