Pomeroy Auto Service

Also known as Prestige Auto Service and Tire Center. Big banner says $ 14.99 oil change. Ended up costing $ 36 for my Honda Fit. They were friendly enough, but I’m not a fan of deception, therefore I will never go back.

After 10 years of messing with rusting, failing drum brakes I finally had Brian at Pomeroy’s trailer Service replace them with disc brakes. Additionally I had him rewire and replace all of the electrical wiring on my boat trailer And replace and repack bearings. This was done at a fair price all in one day last year.
I appreciated that Brian took a lot of time explaining to me the difference between drum brakes and disc brakes. I have no misconception that either type of system will fail due to corrosion and saltwater. However this time rather than simply letting it happen I intend to return annually for maintenance of both the bearings and Brakes.
Previous to taking my trailer to Brian I had two other trailer outfits look at my set up. For over two years I have been complaining that it simply did not feel like the brakes were engaging. This is even after new brakes and one new drum were put on. Over this time almost all of the brake assembly (lines, cylinder?) was replaced and things still did not function properly.
Brian diagnosed the problem which was a failed actuator. It was so rusted and pitted that it stopped working. He showed me the failed part which apparently occurs infrequently.
If you want someone to troubleshoot brake problem or simply Want someone who does quality trailer service who doesn’t simply replace parts every time, give Brian a try. He goes the extra mile to attempt to get as much life out of your disc brakes as possible. Last month I brought the trailer back in for its annual maintenance. I’m impressed that He repaints portions of the brakes at each annual maintenance service.

I received the following threatening message from Brian Pomeroy this week. I will not retract my original review. Everything I said was factual. If Brian decides to sue me, he will lose.
«I was just recently was made aware of the horrific negative post that you placed on
back in 2011 and by my attorneys advice I am making an attempt to contact you regarding this issue.
I’m not sure that you were informed of all the communication that I had with your wife during this repair. I made two trips to your house trying to resolve the actuator issue, disassembled the actuator discovered that the salt water had corroded a ditch in the slide area of the actuator and the roller would get stuck there causing the actuator not to create hydraulic pressure and thus the brakes not applying. This was not easy to diagnose because the actuator operated perfectly until the weight of the boat and trailer was placed on the hitch.
I had several conversations with your wife and it was very clear that your trailer needed an actuator and have witness to the conversation that I offered to go to Everett and get the actuator and would only expect you to pay my cost of it. Your wife declined stating that she just didn’t have any more money to spend on this trailer now. The way I left it was when you could pay for the actuator I would come and install it at no labor cost to you.
I believe your post is inaccurate and a complete betrayal of my character.
With the assistance of my attorney we have contacted Unilocal and have been advised that you are the only one that can remove this post. In an effort to save both you and I the expense of legal costs I am contacting myself and suggesting that remove this post immediately. The next corraspondence will come dirrectly from my atourney.
