Let us not forget that all those cores one turns in are the remanufactured units base. There are no new ones made. Those units are rebuilt many times. As such, re-used parts wear also so over time the overall reliability of rebuilt (many times) parts is diminished and so the chance of getting an unreliable one increases.

Might be some luck involved. 2 weeks ago I had a Bosch premium starter for an automatic come back to me. I installed it in January this year. The two year warranty is nice except I had to eat the labor. He used the Bosch roadside assistance to get it to me. Problem? Solenoid contact not closing to power the starter motor.

Then you, Sir, have a relationship with a good rebuilder. This is not the case with everyone in the parts business!

I have no idea what all this fuss is about. ALL Bosch Rebuilt or actually, “Remanufactured” is the work Bosch uses, starters and alternators I have ever sold here in over 15 years of business have never, every had a problem. They come with a 2 year unlimited mileage warranty which I have never ever had to implement for any of my customers. So…….what’s going on with the Bosch products you're getting is a bit unbelievable.
