Do your own rebuilds then you get to see if it is rebuildable, you can put quality parts in it and if it doesn't work you got no one to blame. These things are not some kind of magical device, just basic mechanical and hydraulic components. If it is the first time you've ever been in one go to the salvage yard and find a core that doesn't look like it's been pouring fluid out. If you fail with the rebuild turn it in as a core for a rebuilt or use it for a door stop.
The cost of some of the parts would make you wonder. I don't see how it's possible to make any money as a business rebuilding these unless they have a line on cheaper parts...maybe just the input shaft is costly..These things are not some kind of magical device
