I found a great vendor that will rebuild all types of electric motors, including blower motors:

Casey's Auto Electric

714 Portage Street

Kalamazoo, MI 49001

269-381-5161

Great service and quality, resonable prices.

They rebuilt my blower motor - came out like NOS.


Highly recommended!

$ 317.00 to rebuild a $ 35.00 blower motor & no explianition on what was done or replaced. AIN"T no way I'd buy that. For that kind of money they better have pic's & a total list of anything thats was even touched or moved let alone replaced.

Blower motor for what ??
Most aftermarket suppliers sell them ?
Most are universal...
Is it something unobtainable??
Just curious..
