Can't "see" them work on the bench and there is too much of a comeback problem for all auto rebuilders to satisfy me..AND I am so busy with what I enjoy doing, I can't see taking on more hassles after 35 yrs in this business. I run about 3 to 5%% give or take over a years time (around 300 units per yr) and most auto trans rebuilders that will confide in me say they have about a 20% return rate for one thing or another...actual shops and types may vary, but that is the average. I do these shops manual trannys as they trust me more than themselves...and visa versa...Daryl |
