Reman vs. Used vs. Rebuilt
A remanufactured or "reman" part is a high quality alternative to a new part. Remanufacturing is a process in which used parts are inspected and restored to original specifications.
Remanufactured parts are much different than used or rebuilt parts.
- A used part is sold "as is" from a salvaged vehicle. The part is stripped from the vehicle and sold in it's existing condition.
- When a part is rebuilt, usually the component part that has failed is replaced or repaired. A rebuilt component part will resume its life where it left off, with only the failed component part replaced.
- In a remanufactured part, each component of the unit is cleaned and inspected. All
 component parts are checked and brought back to original specifications where necessary. Testing is performed to manufacturer's specifications and original product standards. When finished, a remanufactured part will function as well as a new unit and still cost you less than new.
As the price of energy continues to rise, and as the demand for more and more goods by consumers from second and third world countries continues to climb, remanufacturing will become the preferred choice. Worldwide energy savings through remanufacturing saves 350 tankers of crude oil or the equivalent of electricity from 8 nuclear power plants.
