"If we ultimately rebuild a unit there is no charge to check it out and notify you via email. If we bench test only the charge is only $45 for each unit or $60 if we test Amplifier and Actuator at the same time. We offer a much more conclusive test and adjustment of the Actuator. The only other charge is return shipping."
I've used his ACC rebuilds in a couple of my cars and installed a CC Amp in someone elses 87 300D a couple years ago that's been working fine ever since. |
I'm familiar with and have used GDL. The problem is that a bad amp can be caused by a bad actuator. So, in order not to throw good money after bad, I'm thinking it might be good to have an authoritative diagnosis.
