Jetmugg,
I think you may be referring to me. I do offer a climate control unit repair/refresh service that include inspection, re-solder and re-cap of the whole unit. Drop me an email or PM if you are interested.
Here are some photos of an early W201 unit that I did for a fellow member:

My climate control unit service is two-fold. I re-solder the whole unit as well as replace all of the capacitors that go bad on it.
You are correct that I do not have a testing setup for it though. One day I will.
Rebuild is a bit of a vague term, degree can vary from "fix it so that it works" to "fix it so that it lasts" to "replace suspect components" to"replace everything on it."
GDL's prices, at least for the cruise amps are high. Last I saw it was $300-400 or something but then again different services and circumstances drive prices.
I cannot (yet) test so I charge less. I also don't have many mechanical parts although I can get some (new temp wheels from MB, etc).
My primary goal with these services are to help out fellow enthusiasts as over the years you've all helped me so much.
