But from what i have seen, I don't think their quality is very good. When available, I always select other brands when it comes to reman parts. Ford use to have reman PCM's. I purchased one many many years ago when we had a 1994 Mustang. It worked fine. But maybe not for your car being it's 14 years old.I agree I myself would have used a BlueStreak from Canada to have it repaired a1 cardone Doesn’t have a very good reputation at this point it’s in the dealers hand so they have to get it right eventually just want my
On another note, being a 2004 Mustang, I wouldn't expect the mechanics at the Ford dealer to very knowledgeable on it. Dealerships rarely see cars that are old enough to be out of warranty.
When I was working as a mechanic at a Chevrolet-Buick dealer, when we couldn't get a GM new or reman part, there were only two parts stores we sourced from and only because they carried the better quality brand name parts. Today, it seems car dealerships don't care so much about quality and buy from Oreilly, Autozone, basically, whoever carries what they need at the cheapest price.
