A “Core Charge” is similar to the
deposit you might pay for a can or bottle of soda. In many states, to promote
recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and you
receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. Many automotive parts
have a Core Charge, or Core Price, that works the same way as a soda can
deposit.
Here’s how the Core Charge works:
The part you are purchasing contains a component that
is recyclable
The Core Charge deposit is charged at the time of
purchase
When the recyclable component from your old part is
returned to us, the charge is refunded to you
To receive your Core Charge refund,
you will need to do the following:
Mail the part back to Dealer Direct Parts, shipping
pre-paid, following the directions located on our Returns page. Please see
our Returns page on how to obtain a
RMA (return merchandise authorization) number. All returns require a RMA
number in order for any and all credits to be processed.
