....I agree that's a very good price,
but for likely the same price, or close to it, Jim
could have rebuilt your OEM German ATE calipers. I can
personally attest to the fact that Jim's work on these
is very professional (Mine have been rebuilt by Jim),
not to mention you would still have German quality. The
newer Brazillian replacements lack the cylindrical pin
and built in self-adjuster that the originals had. Plus
their overall quality is somewhat lacking as compared
to their original counterparts. It's always nice to
have a "personal touch" when anything on our vehicles
is repaired/replaced rather than having assembly line
produced parts. It's like the old saying goes: "if you
want something done right, do it yourself". If you
can't do it yourself, leave it in the hands of a pro
who deals with our specific model of VW's regularly.
Jim is just one of the many on this list that we are
all lucky to have available to help us out in this
area. You'll be rewarded with originality of parts,
and peace of mind knowing your repaired parts don't
have a quality control issue that most mass produced
parts suffer from.
