Repair Service Terms & Conditions
1. Repair Agreement
By purchasing our diagnostic or repair service you are agreeing to send us your original unit to be diagnosed and/or repaired at a minimum of $139.99 diagnosis fee.
The first step is to complete our fillable Tanin Electronix Work Order Form which is in fillable PDF format. Print it and send it with your item. We will not work on your item without a completed and signed work order form.
2. Diagnostic Fee
Everything that enters our building will be charged a minimum of $139.99 diagnostic fee as explained on the work order form. In the event you decline a repair service or replacement part then you will only owe the diagnostic fee, starting at $139.99, plus return shipping cost of your choice.
3. Warranty Terms
All of our repairs require that you send the entire assembled unit which includes the lens and plastic covers for us to warranty the work we perform. If you are sending a Nissan or Infiniti cluster please do not send the entire plastic cluster housing or bezel surrounds and dash pad. These are not part of the gauge cluster.
4. Non-repairable Items
In the event of your unit being non-repairable and you decide to purchase a replacement unit we will dispose your original unit.
If you do want the original part returned, then it will be your responsibility to inform us and accept the additional shipping charges.
5. Shipping Insurance
If you use our UPS inbound shipping portal you have the option to add-on more inbound shipping insurance. This will protect your investment to our building and allow us to pay out a claim of UPS damage, theft, or lost packages. At checkout you will see an option to add outbound shipping insurance. This option is the same insurance going back to you. Our outbound shipments are automatically insured up to $100 free of charge. That will typically cover minor damage and cracked lenses. We are unable to payout or cover anything more than the insurance amounts you select. If you ship the item on your own or provide your own return label then we have no ability to claim any insurance value. Any disputes or claims would need to be made to your shipping carrier from yourself.
When you see Mark next . ask him what his dad was doing there 20 years or so after VW ? I think he rented a spot there to sell his woodworking stuff . ?? But I remember he rented a spot there when the building was split up into small shops .
I left Racine 24 years ago . I might get down there once a year . but when I do , I’ll make a stop by there . . again thanks for what your doing .
We would love for you to stop in and say hi! We will also make sure to ask Mark about the other business ventures that his dad did. We know he mentioned that his dad sold Cesnas and also jetskis! Quite the well rounded guy for sure.
Opps . I’m surprised Marlane didn’t correct me . the guy to the right of Hendricks is Fred not Frank . . so anyway what you have there is Gerald Hendricks and the crew of ACME Electric that wired your building . and later they did the adishion and some where along the lines AC was added to your building ,also wired by Acme electric .
I too have a slide reader that plugs in a USB port . . I’m guessing you have Mark Hendricks’s slides ? When you’re done with them I’ll have to stop in by uncle Mark with a twelve pack . 🙂 lol ,, mean time I’ll snag them off you page .
Again . thank alot for what you are doing . looks great . and best of luck with your business .
Hi Ryan, we love putting names to the faces in the old photos from the Hendricks Motors story! Feel free to swing by any time and say hi too! Maybe bring uncle Mark and we can show you around while he gives the tour for you. He has some great stories and your family history will be well preserved by us there. It is a great building and we are proud to be able to take care of it and continue in the tradition of car related businesses being run there. All the best,

Thanks for posting this was really interesting , my dad and brother are in the picture when the building was new my dad was thc electrician and brother was a helper. My dad Fran Staudenraus and Gerald Hendricks were also friends, and and my other brother married Gerald’s daughter years later. Acme Electric was his business name,
Hi Marlane! Thank you so much for posting and sharing this with us. We are so excited to learn more about the guys and the business. It really is remarkable what they did with the VW dealership and so much fun to look back on the time capsule of photos. Feel free to email us at taninautomarket@gmail.com if you would like us to send you the digital photos we converted from the slides!

The guy to the very right in the picture is my brother Reed Harding he must have been about 16 in the picture
Hi Heather, thanks for commenting! We are so thrilled to be learning more about everyone in the photos! We would love to learn more about what your brother did at the shop too!
The man to the left is “Red” Franics Staudenraus, the owner of ACME Electric,
Acme Electric did all of Gerald Hendrick’s electrical work .
As you go through those old slides you may find some old VW vans that say ACME Electric on them as ACME Electric bought there work vans from Hendricks motors .
The man to the right of Hendricks is Frank . Red’s head electrician .
Still working on who the man is on the far right .
Me??? I’m the only grandson of both ! ,Red is my dad’s father and Hendricks is my mother’s father . . so from left to right is , Grandpa Staudenraus . Grandpa Jerry. Frank .and ??? Might be an uncle ?
I’m Ryan Staudenraus. And thank you so much for doing the history on the old VW shop .
Hi Ryan, Thank you so much for posting and filling in some of the missing info on your grandfathers and the guys! We are so appreciative of your assistance and excited to hear from a family member of the Hendricks family! We have more photos that we transferred to digital, for upcoming blog posts too. We did see some trucks that said ACME. Pretty cool! If you want to email our marketing lead, Jen at taninautomarket@gmail.com she will happily send you the photos to share with your family via digital. It is much easier than developing slides! We purchased a converter for the slides so if you all have others that you want us to help with, just let us know! Preserving the history of Hendricks and Racine is very important to us here and so much fun to share with the world. We look forward to speaking with you soon.
