What is a Core?

Certain types of auto parts can be recycled or, more specifically, remanufactured for future sale. These parts have a core price that is used as a form of deposit on the portion of the part that can be remanufactured, which is designed to encourage customers to return the used core. The "core," simply put, is your old part. Returning cores can save you money on replacement parts.

Parts that may have a core price include brake shoes, brake master cylinders, water pumps, starters, alternators and air conditioning compressors.
