Our Core Return Policy
A core deposit is paid up front and refunded after we inspect an approved core.
Local pickup / drop-off at our shop
Swap your old core when you pick up the unit and no core charge is due, or pay the core charge now and bring the core back within 30 days for a full refund. Cores must be dropped off within 30 days of purchase.
Shipped orders
Return freight is a flat $400, deducted from your core refund after the core passes inspection.
If your core charge is $400 or less, do not ship the core back. After freight there is little or nothing left to refund.
If you are returning a core by freight, it must arrive within 30 days of purchase. Use the form below only to schedule freight pickup.
If you are shipping a core back
Drain the transmission and torque converter. Reinstall the converter with the original hardware. Strap the unit to a standard 42″ × 48″ pallet.
After you submit this form, we will arrange pickup for the requested date or the next business day, depending on cutoff times. We will email the Bill of Lading. Print three copies: two for the driver and one attached to the transmission.
To change or reschedule a pickup, call the number at the top of that paperwork.
The core must have no internal hard-part or case damage. Damage is deducted from the core deposit. The freight carrier does not insure the core for full value. If the core is damaged in return transit, that also comes out of the refund.
Outbound shipping is one-way only. Return freight is the $400 fee above, not a separate prepaid label.
Core refunds are processed 3–5 weeks after we receive the core.
