Notice to Customers
We repair only the electronic board of the module. Send us only that board from the pictures on the site. Do not send us the pump; you will save a lot on shipment. Make sure your mechanic diagnosed a faulty ABS module, not a pump or sensors. Contact us before sending the unit. For boards that were previously repaired, we provide a $70 diagnostics fee, which is voided if the repair is successful because often these boards are not repairable.
