"Saved Our Christmas!"
e were traveling through Deming New Mexico on our trip from Rockport, TX to Las Vegas, Nevada for Christmas 2023 with the kids and grandkids. We pulled into a truck stop. Turns out we l Read Moreost a bearing on the front axle of our Reflection 337RLS. Worse yet, it had ruined the axle, brake pads, brake caliper and of course the bearings.
I called Performance as my last hope of ever getting to Vegas. Michael put me in contact with Dennis Hageman in Kingman Arizona. He had all the parts I needed in stock and said he would load up and be in Deming by 1:00 AM. After a little sleep, he started on the repair at 8:00 AM and had us on the road by noon. Not only did he do a great job replacing the axle, disc brake caliper and bearings, he serviced the other three axles to make sure we would make it to the kids house. He also inspected the suspension and told me that I may have to have some service done on it soon. He saved our Christmas.
Fast forward to March 2024. I ordered the Roadmaster suspension from PTBon Dennis's recommendation. He told me there were other, cheaper, options, but that this was the best. Since he is quite an expert (in my opinion) I am at least smart enough to listen to those in the know. We met him in Kingman on our way back to Las Vegas and had him install the suspension. I watched the entire install and was impressed with the detail and care he took in his job.
Great product, great service, really great people, and true miracle workers.

"Rare Quality Human"
In June, at the Northwood Mfg. rally in La Grande, Oregon we had your disc brake package installed on our Artic Fox fifth wheel. I'm the type of guy that likes to do things like this by Read Moremyself, but as I've gotten a lot older (and hopefully wiser) I decided to have someone else do the job. Ready to commit the extra funds for a safety improvement on our trailer, it was the perfect time. The perfectionist in me is a terrible thing to have because if I can't do it right then I usually don't do it at all. Brooke put me at ease as I watched his diligence to detail and how he made sure everything was aligned properly and worked to perfection. All the time with people coming by asking questions or making comments about problems they've had in the past. Brooke patiently answered all as he kept working, satisfying each rally member with explanations for the information they needed, but most of all, ME. I checked his work out to try and find problems or things he might have missed but it was perfect. You have a rare quality human working for you and should be very proud of the work he puts out and the ethics he has. Needless to say, I'm very happy with installation and performance of the brakes you supplied.
