Yes, you can! This would eliminate the core charge. If you would like to send us your core contact us by using the "Contact Us" page or call us for the shipping address. We can then at that time take a credit card over the phone to process the order.
Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them, replacing the worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original function. The testing and procedures are the same as the original equipment manufacturers.
Remanufactured parts are typically 30-50% below the cost of new and perform the same on your vehicle. So the part is as good as new...at a much better price.
TS-16949 certification means every product is built with the same quality systems as original equipment manufacturers. Our expert technicians can pinpoint original weaknesses and strengthen them, making the part better than new. With REMSteering remanufactured products, you get the same quality as a new part at a significantly lower price. It's the high-quality, low-cost alternative to new.
Best of all, remanufacturing is an environmentally friendly business. It solves the environmental disposal issue. Used parts (cores) are returned to the remanufacturer saving tons of waste from landfills, reducing the burden of trash disposal. Additionally, the remanufacturing process saves 80% of the energy and material it would take to manufacture new parts, which is equal to 16 milion barrels of crude oil. |

What is the DIFFERENCE between: "refurbished, reconditioned, repaired, rebuilt, overhauled and remanufactured?"
A3. They are all different and that is where the difference in price is. Every company uses it's own terminology so it's best to ask "what does your processing entail, or what am I getting for my money":
REFURBISHED: could mean someone found a used part in a junk yard, quickly looked over the outside, clean it up a bit and put it in a box.
RECONDITIONED: could mean someone found a used part in a junk yard, quickly looked over the outside, clean it up a bit, spray painted it and put it in a box.
REPAIRED: fixed only what was obviously wrong.
REBUILT: fixed what was obviously wrong and maybe what could go wrong later.
OVERHAULED: same as remanufactured but may or may not be near OEM standards.
REMANUFACTURED:a complete disassembly of the product, a thorough cleaning and complete inspection & repair or replacement of damaged or critical components, proper reassembly (torque & technique) of the product, a pre test inspection, complete hydraulic test, final inspection and proper packaging for storage and shipment..... quality is the degree of excellence.
