What is Automotive Remanufacturing?
Environmentally Friendly, Cost-Effective, Quality Assured
Understanding Automotive Remanufacturing
A sustainable approach to automotive parts that benefits everyone
Automotive remanufacturing is a comprehensive process that restores used automotive parts to their original equipment condition. Unlike simple repair, remanufacturing involves completely disassembling, cleaning, inspecting, replacing worn components, and reassembling parts to meet the same performance standards as new parts.
At Prior Automotive, we've perfected this process over 70 years, creating remanufactured components that deliver equal performance to new parts at a fraction of the cost, while significantly reducing environmental impact.
Our remanufactured parts undergo rigorous testing and quality control processes to ensure they meet or exceed OEM specifications, providing our customers with reliable, high-quality alternatives to new components.
The Remanufacturing Process
How we transform used parts into like-new components
Core Collection & Inspection
We begin by collecting used cores from our customers. Each core is thoroughly inspected to determine its suitability for remanufacturing.
Complete Disassembly
Each core is completely disassembled into its individual components. This allows us to inspect every part and identify what needs to be replaced.
Cleaning & Reconditioning
All components are thoroughly cleaned using environmentally friendly processes. Worn parts are replaced with new or remanufactured components.
Assembly & Testing
The remanufactured components are reassembled and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet or exceed OEM specifications.
Benefits of Remanufactured Parts
Why choose remanufactured over new parts
Cost Savings
Remanufactured parts typically cost 30-60% less than new OEM parts, providing significant savings without compromising quality or performance.
Environmental Benefits
Remanufacturing reduces energy consumption, raw material usage, and waste, making it a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
Quality Assurance
Our remanufactured parts undergo the same rigorous testing as new parts and come with a comprehensive warranty for peace of mind.
