This company is advertising on ebay for re manufacturing of car parts including Volvo.
Has anyone dealt with them?
How good are they?
Any indication will help.
Thanks

Their website is awful. Thievery and deception awful. Scary.

Xemodex is very well proven and is a business indy shops are widely using for these electronics failures upgrade fixes.

WOW :o
That bad? What did they do you, man? You must have had really bad experiences with them. :wink:
I was very curious that my search didn't come up with a single answer.
Anyways, you just throw away my bargain of month. :D

Don't expect a Xmass card from them :)
cheers

I have been flim-flammed a few times. A reputable business will have a good website. I went to BBA's website and too much of it was in mixed fonts and when you clicked on Volvo links you didn't go directly to Volvo info and product offerings. It smacked of low rent Chinese websites I've found before.

Buy something from them and let us know how it was.

I used them in the UK to sort out the ETM on my V70, charged me £330 four and a bit years ago I think it is a little cheaper these days though as they have some competition in the UK from a chap who repairs the ETMs with the non contact digital angle sensor for £110 - Mike

I will say I get a lot of core returns with their stickers on them and I'm not usually happy when I see one. A lot is about 15+ a month. They go in a special pile that requires a lot more time than usual to fix, usually double at the minimum. It's always case damage and I've seen more than a few that were never sealed up all the way.
