Black Canyon Smog Pump offers a core exchange program for selected emission parts. A core is the original component that is returned after purchasing a replacement or rebuilt unit.
The core exchange process allows customers to receive the emission component they need while returning an eligible original part that can be inspected for potential rebuilding.
The core exchange process begins when you purchase a replacement or rebuilt component that carries a core charge. After receiving the replacement, you return your original component according to the core-return requirements.
The returned core is inspected to determine whether it meets the applicable eligibility requirements. If approved, the applicable core charge is refunded according to the company’s refund policy.
The basic process is:
A core charge is a refundable amount associated with certain replacement or rebuilt products. The charge encourages customers to return their original components so eligible parts can be inspected and considered for rebuilding.
Current product listings show examples of $20 and $30 core charges on certain Ford and Chevrolet Corvette applications. Core charges can vary depending on the specific product and application.
When an original unit is worn, customers may have more than one path forward. A rebuilt smog pump can provide a restored option when the correct unit is available. A remanufactured unit may also be considered when selecting a replacement based on its condition and specifications.
Confirm the application before purchasing. Review the listed year, make, model, engine, and part number.
Some pumps are offered through a core arrangement. Black Canyon identifies its core exchange service among its services and lists products with core charges.
