You can't paint it all with the same brush.
A lot depends on the part, and who the remanufacturer was. Some so called reman outfits just fix what was wrong and call it reman.
In the early 1990s, I worked for a couple years as an outside salesman for a private label auto parts company. Basically, it paid the bills until I got a better offer.
Anyway, one of our main lines was reman starters and alternators. The company that rebuilt them had the right idea. All units were completely disassembled and bead blasted. Then reassembled with all new replaceable internal parts. Alternators automatically got new diodes, brushes, voltage regulators, etc.
They had, however, people on the assembly line doing sloppy work.
They hated to see me come into the plant. According to them, a salesman was some dumb-azz out there selling whatever they chose to supply him with. They weren't used to a salesman walking into the plant wearing a dress shirt and tie, carrying an alternator he'd warrantied,tearing it down in front of them and showing them where they'd screwed it up.
I caught several consistent mistakes they were making that led to early failure of their units. Statistically, at the time the nationwide failure rate for all reman starters and alternators was 8%. When I started that job, they're rate was 18%. When I left the job they were down to 7%.
As I said above, it all depends on several variables.
