It is a really common problem for rebuilt parts not to work these days.
And, yes whenever possible have them test the part before you leave the Store.
And, yes keep the Paper Work so you can return the thing for that "Lifetime Warranty" they talk about of something happens later.
It also could be that they simply don't know how to hook up the Machine Properly.
I was surprised when I had an Alternator tested at PepBoys. They actually gave Me a small Print out. And in My case it said the Diodes were shot (this was on a non-Mercedes alternator).
