[QUOTE="Lasherž, post: 8703821, member: 679555"] It's a pretty big issue in the repair industry. I don't necessarily think that Skar is colluding with them for bad repairs but they obviously have some sort of agreement with them that makes it easier for them to turn around a refurbished product and therefore cheaper for both Amp Medics and Skar. This is speaking from experience with the Apple warranty repair company CSAT Solutions. The repairs that they provide Apple customers with are the worst and often have fundamentally unsafe shortcuts because it's all about throughput at that company. Intermittent issues aren't worth their time to solve as far as they're concerned, but if it happens to work when they pick it up, it'll just get sent back out as a refurbished unit with hardly a second glance. The thought is that real repairs cost more employee hours and most repairs are simplistic, so Apple's getting a lot of resell products that they can give out as a quick turn around for a defective one they received or when there's a surplus they sell them behind the scenes through dummy ebay accounts run by them. Since they centralize all of their repairs to one or two locations it saves them a boatload of money and time on shipping and keeping track of inventory and warranties. [/QUOTE]
