Core Charges

Core Charges

All engines, transmissions, fuel system components and turbochargers have core charges.

How Our Core Charge Policy Works

We do not charge the core up front. We allow the customer 30 days to return the core for inspection. We do this as a courtesy to our customers, so they don't have to spend so much money up front to get their order in. We do ask that everyone please get your cores back as soon as possible as we are always needing cores.

At the time of arrival, we will disassemble the core and inspect the parts to ensure they are good usable cores. If any of the parts are damaged beyond repair and/or not usable, those core charges will be billed to the customer at that time.

Core Charge Breakdown

We break these down into individual components so if the customer only has one or two bad pieces, they don't have to pay the full core charge. You will only pay for the damaged pieces. If everything checks out ok, there will be no core charges.
