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?

WOW!!! That is nuts what that yard is charging a core charge on. $4.50 for a plastic Tail light assy?
I look at the core charge as the total price of the part. I pull a axle (1/2 shaft) it`s just for a spare to have on hand. I don`t have one to return. then when you return to old part, they don`t give you money, you get store credit. this is a way to get you back in to purchase more parts. that`s just the way it is.
I was going through my reciepts for the past 5 day 50% sale.

I also purchased the heater assy, there is the evaporator, heater core and blower motor, but no core charge for this unit, yet if the other parts were purchased seperately, there would be a core charge, also bought some aluminum wheels with tire, and no core charge.
what really seems strange, is a fender will have a $4.99 core chg, and a spindle steering knuckle assy will have a$1.99 core. that spindle is a heavy sucker.
a Differential will have the same $4.99 core as a fender, what the......? I won`t bring that to their attention or they will raise the same as a transmission.
Iam not complaining about the core charge, but there is such a variation on their pricing for the core charge.
Now when is the next sale?
