Unfortunately, most of the inexpensive rebuilders ship everything to the Phillipines or a third-world country for cheap labor and we get cheap products. Our shop won't buy anything that isn't locally remanufactured - more expensive - yes. But then we can call so-and-so's Auto Electric and talk to the guy who rebuilt it and get it handled.
