The core charge is the real problem. If I'm going to start a stink, I'm going for this one. They are not selling rebuilt parts, they are not going to rebuild the core returns, so charging for cores is just an exploitation of the customer. They either get all the scrap value back from you, or they get more money from you. It's a hidden, tricky way to make more profit at your expense.

Roger that

Core charge on a(n)

Air Cleaner $2.50
Ball Joint $1.50
Bezel $1.50
carpet $1.50
console $7.00
Fan blade $1.50
Pickup topper $12
Taillight assy $4.50


There is no way they can be "rebuilding" this sort of stuff as they COULD be with starters. alternators , transmissions, etc.

Even those, I seriously doubt they do much of since they all get tossed in the same pile. How can they pay someone to sort it all out and figure out who it goes to for rebuilding?
