Rate this rebuilder: 4Mercedes.com in Florida

I am considering having this rebuilder do the throttle actuators on my 140 v12. Here is their website: http://4mercedes.com/index.htm
Does anyone have any experience with them?
The cost to rebuild both due to wiring degradation is $1800.
They cannot test the controller to see if that is also messed up, and the price would go up another $800 or so if that is the case.
Thanks.

BBA REMAN, I used their UK branch for my throttle body with no problem and a very fast turnaround.

After I left my 04 CL500 for front strut job I picked up my car next day with !!700!! more miles on odometer. Of course they didn't record mileage in and I couldn't do anything about it... After they change strut they told me that ABC pump got damaged and if I would like to get rid of noise coming from the hood when driving I need to get it replaced...

after sending my parts in.. the shop never called me when they got my parts. so they never knew what to do with them.. so after 2 days i called them and spoke to a lady, which could not find my parts.. after 10 min she found them and told me some one will call you tomorrow for a update.. so 3 days later still no call.. i call them back and speak to the same lady and she ask for my number so someone can call me back ASAP.. well 2 day goes by still no call.. i call back 5 times and no responce. the next day they answer and i speak to a guy and explane whats going on and they tell me they dont know where my parts are.. so im put on hold and they find my parts again and ask me what is wrong with my parts... they have my parts for 1 week and they still dont know what to do with it.. so i told the guy i want them fix ect ect.. and he promised me he will call me tomorrow for a update.. 4 days later no calll back so i called them today pissed off and told them that they pretty much suck and i wasted my time with them and for them to send my parts back... 2 weeks goes by and they still havent touched my parts... and the funny thing is today the same guy asked me, "well how much money did you want for your parts" how much money im not selling my parts i told you i need them fix..... so i got pissed and told them just send it back, so his responce was "ok i will. call tomorrow for tracking number"
well you guys guessed it.. i called them 50 times today for the tracking number and they hung up on me and ignored my phones

these guys suck big time!!!!!!! i wish i saw there google and yelp review before i sent my parts
