CORE DEPOSITS

• A CORE IS A PROMISE TO RETURN THE CUSTOMER'S WORN UNIT.
  
  
• AIT invoices you for the price of the reman transmission PLUS the core deposit.
  
  
• A 10% penalty is levied on cores that are not returned within 6 weeks.
  
  
• We reserve the right to refuse return of any core that is over three months overdue.



• A core credit is not issued until AIT does a complete inspection of your unit. This may take up to 30 days after we receive your core.
  
  
• Core reductions will be charged if your core is in poor condition. Some of our guidelines are:
• Excessive gear and/or shaft damage
• Broken or cracked case, housing or casting
• Ring and pinion not reusable
• Damage to drum or planetary unit
• Worn out or badly scored control valve
• Missing components
• Badly damaged torque converter components


• AIT will fax you an explanation of any core reductions.



• You may request the return of damaged parts for inspection (at your expense).



• In most instances, cores may be returned disassembled.



• If you have a question about a specific problem you suspect with your customer's core, please call us. We can often give you a dollar figure based upon your condition report.



• AIT DOES NOT GUARANTEE CORE AVAILABILITY.
