Three steps to an offer
Send part numbers and quantities: by form, email or as a photo of the type plate. A list is enough, a spreadsheet is ideal.
Receive an offer: we evaluate by part number, completeness and condition and usually reply within one working day with a price per line.
Collection and payment: from pallet quantity our carrier collects, smaller quantities ship by parcel. We pay after receipt and inspection.
The cores we buy
- Steering gears: rack-and-pinion, hydraulic and electric (EPS), also with play or leaks
- Steering boxes for trucks and buses
- Power steering pumps and electro-hydraulic pumps (EHPS)
- Starters and alternators, 12 V and 24 V
- Turbochargers with fixed and variable geometry, also with a damaged compressor wheel
- Brake calipers, including electric parking brake
- Clutches and dual-mass flywheels, pressure plate with disc
We buy used parts from passenger cars, vans and trucks of all makes. Age does not matter; what matters is that the part is complete and has not been opened.
What your core is worth
There is no price list for cores, because the value depends on demand for the specific part number. A turbocharger from a common diesel engine is in demand, an exotic part without a reman programme hardly at all. Completeness, condition and quantity come on top. Type-sorted lots with a list get better terms than mixed mesh boxes.
We value by unit and part number, not by weight. Send us photos of the type plate and you get a reliable offer without follow-up questions.
Who sells to us
Workshops with removed units, parts dealers and wholesalers with deposit returns and stock, dismantlers with parts from end-of-life vehicles, fleet operators and exporters. Each group has a suitable process, from a single parcel to a fixed collection schedule.
Packaging and shipping
Drain oil, close ports, pack type-sorted and secure the pallet. That way the goods arrive undamaged and are not rejected for transport damage. The full checklist is in our packaging guide.
Frequently asked questions
Who buys old steering gears and turbochargers?
Core brokers such as STP-Parts. We buy used OEM units and supply remanufacturers who turn them into exchange parts. You sell to us regardless of individual manufacturers' deposit schemes.
What is my core worth?
It depends on the part number, demand, completeness and condition. Send us the part number and a photo and we quote a price per unit. We never value by weight.
Do you buy single units?
Yes. Single parts ship by parcel, from pallet quantity we organise collection. Regular volumes get better terms and fixed collection schedules.
Which parts do you not take?
Opened units, broken housings, parts with fire damage and parts without a readable number. Missing pulleys or tie rods are not a problem.
When do you pay?
After receipt and inspection in Hilden. You get feedback per line on which parts were accepted and why individual parts were not.
