5 Star Review

Summary: efficient, fair pricing, cost effective, creative solutions

Review: PVG has serviced a Jeep Wagoneer for 26 years that recently achieved a zero emissions rating on the enhanced Calif smog test. Martin Ramies diagnosed and located a design flaw in the Jeep radiator alignment back in '86 that induced too much vibration into the radiator, causing the seams to leak. He fixed it, and it has never leaked since. Tom Ramies and Tim Harris figured out how to bolt a later model 1990s Jeep aluminum bumper on, in place of the old, original heavy chrome bumper- Cook's Auto Body said, " it couldn't be done." More recently on a modern Yukon, PVG saved us time and money by replacing worn out parts with used GM parts they had on hand. Finally, and most importantly, PVG takes care of your car when it is under their control. There is abundant parking so that your car doesn't come back from the shop with dings, scrapes or worse.
