This was demonstrated when Jeanette DesJardins, founder ofCarChix, was at a race in South Georgia and another attendee backed into hertrailer. As luck would have it, Advantage service manager Dan Rocco was at thesame event enjoying some time off, and when he saw the damage to her trailer,he fixed it on the spot, no questions asked.

“It was crazy enough to run into one of the guys who builtmy trailer at an event 1,000 miles away,” DesJardinsexplained afterward. “But then for him to go out of his way to fixit before I hit the road, it just speaks volumes about Advantage Trailer.That’s the kind of people they are, and if I ever decide to get another trailerI know who I’ll go with again.”
