I do not know anything about this specific repair place.
(Thanks for finding it and postint the site) I know of another repair place just starting to repair ABS control units. I know of 3 ABS brains that have been repaired and they are working ok. The repair shop that I know about charges $180 to repair the ABS brain. The repair place that you mentioned sounds like alot better deal. I would not have any trouble sending them my ABS brain if (when) it fails. If I remember right, a new ABS brain is around $300 to $400 US dollars. Some repair shops and dealerships charge 1.5 hours to read codes and replace the ABS brain. At $80 per hour that is at least $120 labor alone. Follow the instructions, take your time and you can remove and install the brain yourself.
