I've had good luck with Bosch rebuilds.  Did you get a 90 amp unit?  All
bets are off for anything else, but you usually get what you pay for.
If you paid much under $100 for your rebuild don't expect too long a
life.  Did you keep your old one?  If so, have it rebuilt locally by a
reputable shop for a spare.
