A core charge is a deposit that's typically charged with an engine purchase. These deposits are charged so that the remanufacturer (like Powertrain Products) can offset the cost of getting another engine to rebuild if the customer doesn't return their old one.
We are one of the first remanufacturers to not require payment of the core charge up front. When you purchase an engine from us, you'll see a core charge on the invoice. This is refundable once your core is returned to us (if you paid up front). If you opted to waive the core charge for 15 days, it isn't collected but will show as a balance due on your invoice. If you make arrangements with us to return your core within 15 days, we cover the return shipping cost, paperwork, arranging the truck, etc. and you don't get charged that balance due. All you need to do is have yourself or your mechanic at the pickup location to load up the core.
Most of the engines we sell are known as complete long block engines. This is a common industry term which means they're remanufactured engines containing the block with heads, gaskets, and oil pump installed. In most cases, this also means external parts such as the oil pan, timing cover, valve covers, intake, starter, etc. are cleaned and reused.
We stock many engines with the oil pan and timing cover on and ready to go. Ask your sales representative how the engine for your vehicle is sold.

Please keep in mind that delivery is made on a tractor-trailer combination and it is at the drivers discretion if they can deliver in your driveway, cul de sac,neighborhood, etc. If the driver feels they cannot safely navigate the truck down your road, they will deliver as close as possible.
There are several things that factor into shipping time, such as stock levels and shipping location. If a part is in stock, we typically ship it the next business day. Regarding location, we are usually able to deliver to any location in the continental United States within 5 days. Your sale representative can provide you with an estimated delivery time before you place your order. These times are always estimated, as product availability changes daily due to demand.

First, please contact us for a return merchandise authorization number (RMA). Once you have the number, package the parts in the original package. You are responsible for making the freight shipping arrangements and the return shipping cost.
