Read how Public Fleet Advocates has helped people better understand repairs, estimates, and vehicle decisions.
“After our 2025 Chevy Equinox suddenly died overnight, we were told the vehicle likely needed a battery, alternator, and additional GPS-related repairs.My husband does not have a strong automotive background, and it was overwhelming trying to understand what was actually wrong and whether all of those repairs made sense.We reached out to Public Fleet Advocates for a one-time $39.99 technical review.They took the time to explain how the charging system actually works and why an alternator may not fit the symptoms we experienced and most likely wasn't needed.
They also explained how parasitic battery drains can happen and what questions we should ask before approving any expensive repairs due to possible warranty considerations and suggested items versus needed items.Long story short, we did not need the alternator, and the battery AND GPS issues were under warranty!What stood out most to us was that they weren’t trying to sell us repairs, warranties, or parts. They simply helped us better understand the situation so we could make an informed decision with confidence. Sometimes you feel like a captive over a barrel when it comes to repairs.For less than the price of a normal pizza order, we gained peace of mind and avoided unnecessary repairs and labor costs. It honestly felt like having a master mechanic in our corner helping guide us through a stressful situation.We highly recommend Public Fleet Advocates to anyone dealing with confusing repair estimates or unexpected vehicle issues.”— Katherine G.

One of our work trucks was making a loud ticking / knocking sound from the engine when it was started but seemed to go away when it warmed up. The noise got louder so we brought it in to a shop to be looked at. The shop wanted us to approve 6 hrs of labor for teardown of the engine to find the noise. We told them to hold off and we sent the estimate to Public Fleet Advocates who called the shop and asked a few questions, next thing we know, the shop calls and told us it was the exhaust manifold gasket and would be done the same day!" The total labor was less than the 6 hours quoted and it runs and sounds great.— Dean R. St. Louis MO
My husband and I travel in our motorhome quite a bit now that we are retired. Its a really large diesel unit and repairs are generally expensive if we bring it in. When we heard about Public Fleet Advocates we thought we would give it a try when we were broke down at a campsite and it did not start. They not only helped us find a mobile mechanic to look at it, but also helped in the diagnostic process with the tech. Turns out the temperature gauge was doing something to the computer? and it was fixed again that afternoon and we set out on the road again.— Tom & Cindy L. Whitefish, MN
