Ya I could care less about the name on the front. I look at the parts that are known and then the quality of the more generic parts and go from there.
Even the big names are most likely coming from the same shop in China as the recycled names.
I would take your advice and have it sent to a shop by you. But I think the airfare out would kill my cost savings and dang that’s a long ride back home too.
