Who repairs ABS modules nowadays

Post by kallekula »

I will need someone to take a look at my S70 ABS module in the near future. Viktor Rocha seems to be MIA?
Where do people send their modules nowadays?

This is the guy to do it with. Fast, reliable, knowledgeable, and reasonable price. He does the job right and doesn't cut any corners, also a longtime MVS guy too.

Agreed with above. I had Vic R. repair my ABS module the first time, and it lasted about 17 years which was great. When it failed again in Nov 2021, I sent it in to Midwest as an exchange for another rebuilt one, which has been working fine with no issues noted since then.
1997 855 GLT (Light Pressure Turbo) still going strong. Previous: 1986 240 GL rusted out in '06, 1985 Saab 900T rusted out in '95, 1975 Saab 99 rusted out in '95, 1973 Saab 99 rusted out in '94

I repaired mine myself years ago, classic bad solder joints where the contact/cables attach to module. This however is something else.

I have replaced nearly all my P80 ABS modules using Mid-West units and also for others. Never had any issues with Matty's repairs. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

He did my 850 module, and I haven't had the light pop on and off since. Thankfully, my S70 hasn't needed it.

Tangential question: Should we buy spare ABS modules in case Midwest ABS stops serving the community? A core is easy enough to pull from a junkyard. Sure, our rebuilt ABS module might not fail, but what if we get another P80 with a failed module and Matty Moo isn't around to help?
