The need for a "Core Charge" or "Core Deposit" arose from recycling & re-manufacturing auto parts. Re-manufacturing an auto part is nothing new, has been around since the automobile was invented. A re-manufactured part by a reputable auto part rebuilder, usually saves you lots of money and you also help the environment from not actually throwing this part in a landfill. If you have ever purchased a battery for your car, truck, or boat, you have probably come across this core charge as batteries are recycled and resold and your old battery has a value. This old battery is called a core and the value is the money that your old battery is worth to the re-builder. If you ever purchase a power steering pump or rack and pinion, You most likely purchased a re manufactured one and you had to turn in your old one so it could be re-manufactured and resold to someone else. Numerous items are still re-manufactured today and for good reason. Fuel injectors for instance and a very easy item to re-manufacture (if you have the expensive cleaning machine, all the new internal parts needed, and of course the know-how) and they save the end user hundreds of dollars. A typical gasoline fuel injector can cost $80-$100 or more easily, If you need all 8 injectors, well that is around $800. A re-manufactured fuel injector can cost only $25-$50, purchasing 8 is half the price and a huge savings. If you need diesel fuel injectors, well then you will almost always purchase re-manufactured as many times new is not even available. Here is a couple of examples that we sell often:
New = $500-$800, Reman = $200-$400 New = $400-$600, Reman = $200-$400 New = $1500-$2500, Reman= $500-$1500
