Andre's experience is the essence of what we have been trying to do with POG.

Even if an owner chooses to not do his own repair work, having knowledge of the coach is going to make an owner less likely to be taken advantage of. I recognize Prevost and other service facilities need to make a profit, but that brake chamber, even if bought new would probably be less than $40. Add in 2 hours labor which is more than generous and the total cost should still be less than $250.

While at Parliament and talking to a number of other Prevost owners, none of who were POG members I was blown away at the dollars they were spending for simple repairs. I will not risk embarassing one of them who has indicated he will be joining POG by giving the amount he paid and by explaining the repair, but I can and will say he likely paid ten times what his repair should have cost if he had gone to a reputable shop that was not trying to maximize profits.

Andre has verified that by posting what just the part would cost, compared to what it took to actually fix the problem.

A word of caution.....if anyone is contemplating rebuilding brake chambers, do not under any circumstances attempt to rebuild a dual chamber assembly (with a spring brake). Even the industry has stopped that practice due to the danger of working with those units.
