Core Return Policy

What is a core?

When a vehicle is repaired, the old or failed part that was replaced is called a core. These cores are then remanufactured (recycled) by companies to original equipment specifications. Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them, replacing the faulty and/or 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.

Your shipment or other return of any core or other product to Speed Alternators or SpeedAlternators.com is considered a transfer of ownership, and Speed Alternators will be unable to return the core or other product to you.

Core Return to an Speed Alternators store
To return a core to an Speed Alternators store, simply take the product, in its original packaging and/or box, to the store of your choice along with your receipt. You must drain all fluids, if any, from the product before returning it.*

Speed Alternators recommends that you take the credit card used to purchase the new product so the store can credit your card for the value of the core, assuming the core passes inspection. If you do not have the credit card, or you purchased the product with PayPal or another payment method, simply present your receipt, and upon the core passing the inspection, the store will reimburse your account for the value of the returned core.

If the core does not pass inspection, you will not be reimbursed for it and the core will be returned to you.

Core Return by Mail
To return a core to SpeedAlternators by mail, first drain all fluids, if any, from the product.* Then fill out the Return Form (found in Section B of your Shipping Invoice) and include it along with the core in the original packaging and/or box in which it was received.

To mail the core, simply place the return shipping label on the outside of the box and drop off the package at a shipping facility of your choice. You are responsible for verifying and complying with proper shipping requirements of your selected carrier.

Please note when returning a core, you will not be reimbursed for shipping costs incurred in shipping the core to Speed Alternators.

Assuming the core passes inspection, the credit card you used to purchase the new product will be credited in the amount of the core’s value as indicated by the inspection. If you do not have the credit card, or you purchased with PayPal or another payment method, simply enclose a copy of your receipt and the product, and Speed Alternators will credit your account in the amount of the value of the core. If the core does not pass inspection, you will not be reimbursed for it.

*Please recycle or properly dispose of fluids drained from the returned part. The parts must be free of all flammable and hazardous fluids before shipment. Many Speed Alternators stores have a free recycling program. If you do not live near an Speed Alternators store, or the Speed Alternators in your area does not have a recycling program, contact your local recycling agency for instructions on proper disposal.
