What makes car cores special
With passenger cars, the variant decides. A steering gear for the same Golf exists in several generations with different control units; an alternator comes in 110, 140 and 180 A with and without an overrunning pulley. Identification by OE number is therefore more important than with commercial vehicles.

Makes and platforms
We buy across all makes: German manufacturers, French and Italian brands, Japanese and Korean models. Platform parts fitted in several makes are particularly sought after, because a remanufacturer can cover several exchange numbers with them.
For workshops, the trade and dismantlers
Quantities and handling differ by source. Workshops supply single parts after repair, the trade supplies returns in lots, dismantlers supply units from end-of-life vehicles. The matching procedures are on the pages for each group.
Frequently asked questions
Do you also buy parts from older model years?
Yes, as long as reman programmes exist for them. For many models from the 2000s, demand for cores is high because new parts are no longer available.
Which makes are most in demand?
That changes with the vehicle fleet. Send us an enquiry with your list and we will tell you what is currently sought after.
