refurbishing/rebuilding stock head unit

Hey guys, does anybody know of a place that'll repair my 91 Trans Am's factory CD player? I've seen people install aux jacks into the old GM Delco units so I'd like to do that as well so I can listen to my ipod in the car. I contacted carradio.com and they quoted me $200-250 just to fix the radio and another $90 for the aux jack. I remember seeing eBay listings for these services (which were a bit cheaper) however I can't find them after searching just recently. Thanks guys!

Might check with United Radio. We use them a lot at work with good success. Their kinda expensive, but they will give you a warranty on the whole radio.

I used these guys Southern Electronics in Richmond VA, to refurbish the UT4 head unit in my Firebird. Excellent work and reasonably priced concidering they fixed everything including the cassette. Here's the link:
