Q: Why do some parts have a “Core Charge?”

Because AAA Auto Recyclers is an Automobile Recycler, we charge a “Core Charge” on certain types of automobile parts that are considered recyclable. This means they have a “core” price representing part of that value, which is used as a deposit to encourage you to return your old part instead of throwing it in your trash can. Here's how the Core Charge works:

• The Core Charge deposit is charged at the time of purchase
• When the recyclable component from your old part is returned to us within 14 days, the charge is refunded to you.
