CORE RETURN POLICY

Core Return Policy for Remanufactured Hydraulic Components

Core refunds are available for qualifying **remanufactured parts** only. This policy specifically includes **Hydromax brakeboosters** and **Hydromax master cylinders**. There is **no core refund** available for the purchase of new master cylinders.

Core Definition and Eligibility Requirements

A **Core** is your old, used part that we require in exchange when you purchase certain new or rebuilt units. To be eligible for a core deposit refund, the cores we receive must be **rebuildable to our standards** and returned within **45 days** of the purchase date.

  • Cores must be returned to us within **45 days** of the purchase date. Cores returned after this period require prior authorization.
  • Shipping must be **prepaid** by the customer. Cores shipped C.O.D. will not be accepted.

Unacceptable Cores (No Refund Issued)

No credit will be issued for non-rebuildable or incomplete cores. Unacceptable core returns include, but are not limited to:

  • Broken or cracked castings
  • Stripped threads
  • Incomplete parts or units.
  • Damaged booster shafts.

Unacceptable cores will be scrapped after 30 days unless arrangements are made for return shipping by the customer.

Critical Safety Warning: Core Preparation and Packaging

**PROTECT YOUR CORE REFUND! PREPARE AND PACKAGE YOUR RETURN PROPERLY!**

  • Hydraulic fluids are considered **hazardous** by many shipping companies and must be **completely drained** from your core return.
  • Brake fluid leakage can erase text on your return form, resulting in **delays or loss of your core refund**. Environmental hazard fees may also apply.

The customer is responsible for all shipping charges associated with core returns. We do not provide a shipping label for cores.

  • Core credit for boosters purchased is **$65 per unit**. Booster cores must have one of the following numbers stamped on the unit: 2772114, 2771424, 2771819.
  • Core credit for boosters with part numbers 2771293 and 2771371 is **$75**.
