Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured body control module is computer tested to verify operation before it leaves the manufacturing process. Critical components are re-soldered or replaced during remanufacturing, and on-car validation routines are used to confirm form, fit, durability, and performance requirements. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
