Diesel Cores

  • How does the core charge work?

    A core charge is applied to parts that are needed back for many different reasons. 

    When the sale is made, the core charge is added to the invoice. The core must be paid at the time of invoicing. Once an acceptable core is received back by River City or our supplier, the core credit will be issued, and the core charge will be refunded in the same form of payment that was originally used.

  • How do I get my core sent back?

    Inspect the core you are returning for acceptable core criteria. You can call our office or print a core return sheet from HERE to put in the box. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL INVOICE NUMBER IN AND ON THE BOX. Ship the core back to us, PREPAID, by the most economical means necessary. Once received, we will inspect the core, return it to our supplier if necessary, and issue credit once the credit is received from our supplier.

  • How long do I have to return my core?

    Most cores must be returned within 120 days to be eligible for a full core refund.  Some of our suppliers require cores to be returned within 90 Days.


  • How do I get my core return refund?

    Once an acceptable core is received back from us and credited from our supplier, we will issue your core refund back in the same form of payment as the original transaction.
