They are not BBB accredited! They do not abide by their warranties/ contracts! They are sketchy! I was recommended to P&G from sals auto mechanic in fontana, I have a toyota celica Gt 01 that had sucked up water into the intake. I needed a new engine. Sal had told me that this was the place to go. Alex, the owner had quoted me a fair price to install a new 1zz motor (the same kind my car comes with originally) he also said he could switch the position of my intake so that it wouldn't suck up water again.(He didn't) The job was to take 7 days and cost me $2200 with a 1 year or 12,000 mile warranty on all parts and labor. However, upon initial payment of $1100 and 12 days later. I called Alex and he said I needed a new air control valve because the car wouldn't idle right, he also said he needed to install a new "knock sensor", something I've never heard of before. It would cost me an additional $250 and another day of work, I said okay. I just wanted my car fixed. Finally after about 12 days and after I paid the $1450 I got my car back, I understand that cars with new engines have a "break in" period of 3 or 4 months for it be in top condition; so I made sure to drive with caution and made sure not to accelerate over 3000 rpms in between gears. After 1 month, my check engine light came on and my temp was spiking. I took it back to Alex and he said I needed a new temp coolant sensor. I paid $125 for the part and he installed the part. The problem did not go away. Not even a day later the light came back on and he said it was suppose to be a different sensor. He told me he charge me for this new mystery sensor, but after he installed it the problem seemed to be gone. I drove my car for 2 months before I got an oil leak. I took it back and Alex told me it would cost $600 for a new head gasket and seals, he also said that he would not cover it under the warranty because it was because of overheating due to the temperature coolant sensor, the same one that he installed 2 months before! Be warned! This company is not BBB accredited! They are sketchy! And they do not abide by their warranties/ contracts!

Advantage Automotive diagnosed my problem, explained the repair needed and had the job done in the time and cost quoted. After being told I needed brakes at another automotive shop Advantage Automotive blew out the brake dust which stopped the squeaking and told me I had another 40K miles left. This shop seems to be looking for long term clients as they didn't go after the quick money selling me brakes I didn't need. I recommend Advantage Automotive. Philip Piel, Canyon Lake

The worst mechanic I have ever had service done at. My car shut off and wouldn’t start and I called because my car wouldn’t start and I didn’t feel safe driving it “well you can tow it” I already didn’t want to go in because of the service even though they have a tow flat, but parents insisted. I was first told it was the alternator and battery, over $800. Two days later the car did the same thing. I called after a couple days to check on the car, Mark answers and is the snottiest person I’ve ever spoke to. “Didn’t you just call on Friday?!” So tf if I did you’re being paid for the SECOND time for the same issue and he charged us another $200* dollars for a throttle cleaning. My car is now even worse after this jerk worked on it, I refuse to let him touch it again. When I get gas now the car will not start and the car is still having the same problem but worse. He is incompetent, rude and a con artist. I will never recommend anyone to this joke of a mechanic. If you want to lose over 1k and your car come out worse this is the place. Im pissed.

When first purchased, this 8-1/2 x 24 (+4' tongue), 9,990# GVWR enclosed car trailer was towed from the lot in CA to north ID. Went back for another load, Az-Tex caulked the space overlooked between the wheel wells and the floor. No charge. Put a piece of house roof L-edging under trim over lip over back door to stop water from roof running around the lip and running inside the ramp door. Have hauled a 1T pickup over 500 miles. Never have had any problem with this trailer. After about 10,000 miles it still has 2 of the original cheapo Chinese tires. As it is a 3x3500# axle it is really hard on the tires if it has to be towed around street corners and driveways very much. But 3 axle rides really smoothly. Cheaply built of mostly Chinese parts and materials. Welds sloppy in areas but none have ever broken. THIN aluminum skin is glued on, no screws or rivets. A couple of sheets were rippled and coming loose. Az-Tex replaced them no charge. The 5,000# floor rings really should be attached better. The screws are too small and self-thread into thin steel welded between floor joists. Main frame is box beams; tongue is channel. Hitch coupler 2-5/16" very good self-latching design. Would never open even if no lock pin was put in. This is a great value in a cheap "good enough" trailer. Doesn't compare with a premium brand like Wells Cargo or U-Haul but cost 1/3 as much! 4 brakes on front & back axles, middle axle no brakes, no brake mounting flanges on the axle. Chinese brakes. Chinese e-z lube hubs. Brakes are strong and will pull both the trailer, the tow vehicle (1T) and 1T PU inside trailer w/o using tow vehicle brakes! Take care on slick roads pulling a heavily loaded trailer with a PU with empty bed. The long WB of the trailer makes it want to go straight. It can drag the back tires of your PU sideways on a sharp turn! When I had it loaded to 9,900# on the axles and 2,000# (ODOT scales) on the hitch I jacked the centers of all of the axles up to bend them to give a little positive camber for better tracking and more even tire wear. Straight axles will sag when heavily loaded, letting the wheels do negative camber (splayed out at the bottom). Lifting with a garage jack from behind also bent the axles back toward the rear of the trailer just a little, giving a little toe-in for better stability. This big trailer when heavily loaded really should have a weight distributing hitch set. Never noticed needing antisway, though. I used an EZ-Lift with 1,000# spring bars. Straight pulling levers weight off the front wheels of your tow vehicle, making skidding more likely especially on slick roads. Maybe OK when pulling an empty trailer but when loaded it really needs the WD hitch.
