    I have used them twice on two different cars and their work has been excellent. The first time I used them, the dealer charged me $300.00 only to tell me they couldn't do the the repair because one of the parts was no longer available even on the secondary market (the truck is 21 years old). The problem was with a complex the chain of parts which latch the rear cargo door. AWS got creative and fixed the problem for $80.00 (understandably, with no guarantee it would last). It's been over a year, the problem is fixed, and the fix still appears to be very solid. They did the second repair for half of what the dealer had quoted. This was a different dealer since the car is a different brand from the first. I couldn't be more pleased with AWS.
