Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured control module is computer tested, and application-specific units may also be bench-tested or validated on vehicle to confirm function and durability. Remanufacturing at Cardone’s Philadelphia facility includes re-soldering or replacement of critical components to address known failure points and support dependable electrical connections. The process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
