Core Charges

  • What is a core charge?

    A “Core Charge” is a refundable deposit you are charged when you purchase items with a core, such as turbos, transmissions, and torque converters. It is similar to the deposit you might pay for beverages packaged in aluminum cans or glass bottles. In many states, to promote recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can or bottle of soda pop and you receive your deposit back when the empty can or bottle is returned. Many automotive parts have a Refundable Core Charge that works the same way as a soft drink bottle deposit.

  • How do I get a refund on the core charge?

    When the recyclable component from your old part is returned to us, the charge is refunded to you. You can either ship the core back to ATS following the instructions for returning a core on your invoice, the "Bill of Lading" form can be found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfBwykfBj25ZlgC6Ud-o74QlihYCymE4pQ_VixWVok3FBsfMA/viewform?pli=1 or if you are local in Colorado, bring the core directly to ATS along with your packing slip or invoice.


Shipping

  • How long does it take to ship your products?

    In stock products will generally ship within 5-10 business days. If a product is going to be delayed for any reason, we will contact you with an estimated ship time.

    Please Note: We are currently at a 15 business day lead time due to the increase in orders.

  • Do you ship to Alaska and Hawaii?

    We do ship to Alaska and Hawaii Due to the higher cost of freight to Alaska and Hawaii, we must quote these separately and charge freight for them.

  • Do you ship internationally?

    We can ship internationally. International freight is a bit complicated and so we are unable to quote that online at this time. If you need an international freight quote, please contact us.

  • Is shipping really free?

    Ground shipments are free as are standard freight to your curb saving you hundreds of dollars in freight cost for our large depositories. Certain products and/or delivery locations may require special accessorial services and incur a charge. These services subject to a charge are: lift gate, inside delivery, limited access to locations such as military bases, construction sites, residential, or schools. If you have a freight dock or forklift, aren’t in a limited access area, or need call ahead services then your shipment is free.
