What the Heck is a Core?

"Core" is an auto parts industry term that designates the part you are taking off of the vehicle when installing the new one. There are "New" parts and "Rebuilt" parts. Rebuilt parts are an old school form of recycling. The highest cost associated with many parts is the core materials used to form the case or base the actual auto part is constructed of.

Consider the alternator pictured above. The outside, heavy duty metal that houses all of the internal electrical components can be cleaned, sand blasted and made to be like new much cheaper than creating a new housing out of raw materials. As such, the manufacturers would prefer that you return your old unit so they can rebuild another unit using that case. Every working piece of the rebuilt unit is brand new, but it can be sold for less because of the efficient use of materials gained by recycling the core.

The way that auto parts stores enable this process is by charging a penalty that typically equals an amount about the same as the difference between what a brand new case would cost and what the part can be rebuilt for. Many people would rather not be bothered with the return of the old core, but that is fine because the money paid up front and forfeited by not returning it will pay for a new case. We do suggest however that it is better for the environment and efficiency to get these parts back whenever possible.

I Have a Car Repair Question...

Because of the type of business we are, auto parts for DIY repair, we get questions frequently about how to diagnose or repair. While our call center personnel are definitely experts, they are not the people who are doing the actual car repairs. They will have quite a bit of knowledge from theirs years of experience talking to auto mechanics, but really should not be your source for auto repair help. If you need help diagnosing a problem or advice on installation of your auto parts I have found a source that may help. There is an online service called Just Answer - Car Mechanics where you can go online, type in your question, and an online mechanic will help you through the issue. They have a process by which you offer a bid (money) for the answer to your question, but if you are stuck it seems to be a way to get by without taking your car to a mechanic.

Don't get me wrong, car mechanics are an invaluable resource and well worth the money they charge. The knowledge of car repair provided by a mechanic typically allows for quicker, longer lasting repairs. There are however some instances where you can't get your car to them, or you are in the middle of a DIY repair and something unforeseen pops up. Having an online expert available can at times become a life saver.

If you do your own car repair, keep buying your auto parts wholesale from us. If you have questions about parts, please feel free to utilize our auto parts experts. But keep this site in mind just in case something goes wrong during your repair process.

See Through Car

I have to admit to an addiction I have recently adopted... watching Barrett-Jackson auctions for hours at a time. I doubt I will ever be like the guy this weekend that bought seemingly every car that came across the stage, but I will admit to envy. This weekend the cars were of the mild resto-mod form where they were fully restored, but not exactly to specs. Like the 58 Woody that was spotless, had an entirely new interior true to the original in many ways and a new fuel injected V8. It sold for less than $30K and will probably provide years of head turning drive time for it's eventual owner... all for much less than a dime a dozen used Cadillac Escalade. Don't get me wrong, I love Escalades, but you must admit that a restored Woody will absolutely get more stares than the most perfectly maintained new Caddy.

There is however a line that I would draw in the type of car I would purchase. While I absolutely see the benefit and investment potential of museum showpiece one of a kind cars, I wouldn't buy one if it couldn't be driven. Take for example this stunning plexiglass 1939 Pontiac that was created for the Worlds Fair. It is absolutely a car that would stop everyone in their tracks, but it does not need to be driven. It needs to be in the Petersen Museum in Southern California for people to see. Check out this blog for the cars specifics and if you are interested, where and when it will be auctioned off next month. Since there is only one you can bet it will go for a large figure... but I won't be bidding.

Follow Us on Twitter

I have heard Twitter described as standing in the middle of a huge traffic jam trying to hand out business cards! To the newbies out there, it does kind of seem like that. In order to increase your following numbers it becomes necessary to follow people that don't really fall into your exact category or niche. The cool thing about our company is that almost everyone has a car, so even the butterfly aficianado from New Mexico still might need an air filter for her Subaru.

One secret that I have found to fine tune our promotions is the LIST function. As your following grows it becomes neccessary to separate followers into sub-groups. I have begun the process, creating automotive, classic cars, etc., but I see that I will eventually need to refine it even more. I have even created three separate accounts, @bradcatron , @autopartstom and @carpartscoupon so that my communications make more sense.

Sometimes it is even helpful for things like this months discount coupon code. I can Tweet from all three that you can get an extra 5% on top of our volume discount on top of our already wholesale prices by using COUPON CODE 5472052c (and now it is on my blog and will also post to Facebook).

I really enjoy promoting Autopartstomorrow.com because I have been here for 15 years and really like the people you will be dealing with. I also have done enough research to know that we are KILLING the competition on price, before volume discounts, and before the coupon code 5472052c (see how I mentioned that again). Anyway, do yourself a favor... Like Us on Facebook and Follow all of our accounts on Twitter so that you always know as soon as we release any new Coupon Codes. Helping you save money is my job... Make me look good!

Car Maintenance Is Important !!

Ask any auto mechanic... the cars that have not been cleaned in forever, probably haven't had the oil changed in longer than that. Something about pride of ownership just makes people take care of things from top to bottom. It is something you should consider when you are looking at cars to buy from an individual. While you will probably get a better deal on the car as far as price is concerned, you might also have a potential problem with repairs sooner than you would want.

Now far be it from me, an auto parts salesman, to try to talk you out of buying a car that needs repairs, but it does need to be something you think about. With this in mind, I typically buy the dirtiest cars around. One of the benefits of being in the auto parts field is that I can get auto repairs done much cheaper than most others can. I can also identify which repair might be needed and which auto part it would need. I can buy a dirty run down car (without dents or tears in the upholstery) and put my blood, sweat and tears into fixing it up. Then I can drive it for a year or two and sell it for the same thing I bought it for. It is not the path I would suggest for everyone, but it works pretty well for me.

History of the GM Module

GM Module Replacement Parts

ACDelco provides General Motor brand owners with replacement parts and components, including GM module replacements which are the same original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts used in the vehicle when it was built. The use of OEM parts and equipment keeps the vehicle completely 100% General Motors and brings years of reliability and performance. ACDelco was created in 1916 by GM and Chevrolet founder, William C. Durant.

Durant was a successful horse carriage manufacturer prior to entering the automotive industry. Durant used a business strategy at the time which was unheard of, where he owned a separate division which supplied all the parts and materials needed to build the horse carriages to his carriage company. As a result of this ingenuity, Durant was able to become a leading carriage manufacturer in the nation. Durant used this same strategy at GM to create United Motors, which would later become known as ACDelco. United Motors consisted of several smaller parts suppliers, which were merged together to offer the materials and parts, including GM module components to the GM divisions.

In 1908 Durant partnered with Albert Champion to create the AC Spark Plug division of General Motors. Albert Champion had founded Champion Ignition in 1899 but had lost control of his company. Both of these companies provided spark plugs and ignition components for various automobile manufacturers and both have survived to this day. In the mid-1970s amid tough economic conditions and an oil crisis, GM merged the parts division with the spark plugs division to create ACDelco. This new division was able to reach more customers since customers were now able to purchase all of their replacement parts, GM module components and spark plugs from a single GM division.

When GM fully acquired ACDelco in 1918, it was designed to exclusively provide parts, GM module components and materials for General Motors brand divisions only. However, over time, General Motors has removed this requirement in order to reach more people by offering replacement parts for other automobile manufacturers’ vehicles. Regardless of whether a person owns a General Motors vehicle or another manufacturer, ACDelco most likely makes replacement parts and components.

Newer model General Motors vehicles include the use of complex computer systems which regulate many features including the ignition system. The ignition system which uses remote starting and other modern features is just one type of GM module in use in the vehicle. These new advanced ignition systems were created to provide more options for the general public when selecting an automobile, which were built by ACDelco.
