1) It's always good to validate part numbers online as previously suggested. Use your charm, get the casa part number.

2) I don't know anyone who offers warranty on labor. Even if you find one, how would you know that the labor is faulty? In my experience, they always blame the part faulty, then you go back to your part seller, then the part seller will tell you to blame the mechanic. This is why casa charges so high, because they're the only ones who can offer you warranty on parts and labor only if you pay for both.

3) You're on the right path, all paths have risks.

4) The only remaining step I can recommend... Choose the risk you can live with.

I buy all my critical and expensive parts from Goodgear... Even casas buy from goodgear. (and yes, they sometimes sell full assembly parts only)

Labor? I have my 5-yr trusted mechanics... Who still and will make mistakes... Mistakes I can live with.

Just to share, my father told me that having a car is like having a child.

Good luck on your decision making.
Thank you for this insight. Very much appreciated. I would already go this with this path.

Thank you all for your replies. I will keep this thread updated, especially the outcome.
