ABS module TRACS versus no TRACS 850

$75.00 vs $125.00 on eBay.

Take a look at the pictures I posted on my eBay auction.
You will have a chance to see two services that are cheaper than mine.
And that is exactly what you get, a cheap service.

How hard is to rebuild the ABS unit? Some people think that I don't want to share my secrets; however, it all boils down to the knowledge I got from attending college for Electrical engineering, electronics training and be a perfectionist.
I'm currently building a web page that I will call "The little shop of horrors" It is a compilation all all the ABS units I have received from Volvo owners that have electronics training and/or knowledge and they damaged the unit trying to repair it themselves.
Another section is from other repair services that have "repaired" an ABS unit only to find out that when it is installed on your Volvo car IT DOES NOT WORK.
I'm not sure how many times I need to remind people that the only way you find out if the unit works is by testing it on a Volvo car, not a Volvo wodden workbench.

I am very frustrated fixing other peoples problems and it is very difficult to tell people that their ABS unit has been butchered beyond repair and now they need to pay for the core charge.
Nick (some of you may know him) owns a Volvo repair shop. Out of six ABS units rebuilt by another service, four have ended on my hands. He gave up on trying to get them repaired under warranty. In shipping alone, Nick has paid more than if he had sent me the units in the first place.

If you are considering saving $50.00 on the Antilock Brake System for your Volvo think about this.
A new ABS unit costs $450.00. I offer my service for $125.00, you are saving, $325.00 (72%) from the price of a new unit that has the same defects as the one you have. This is for 100% satisfaction on a service that you will not need again.
