Remanufactured Parts

Common examples are alternators, starters and turbochargers. An old core is often returned. They usually include a warranty. They are often cheaper than new parts and reduce waste because the core is reused. Manufacturers also offer factory-remanufactured parts through dealers. Some parts, such as turbochargers, need the cause of the original failure to be fixed first, for example oil supply problems, or the new unit will fail too.

Worn components are replaced and the unit is tested.

Quality varies by supplier. Return the core to get the deposit back.
