"Bosch rebuild"

[james accordino]

In Tucson, AZ I had the same relationship.  This guy
was great and cheap.  None of his work gave me any
problems and I really trusted his advice as he was
very upfront and honest.  Unfortunately, I haven't
found the same service available here (Scranton, PA).
The 2 I've tried seemed more like criminals than
businesses.

PS-I think if you can get "genuine" Bosch
remanufactured you probably wouldn't be sorry-Except
for $$$.
