Single Step:

Two Steps:

How to proceed: Click Here for RA

 

When the factory receives your starter, you will be contacted by phone for payment information.

  1. Call 800-476-7896
    to purchase Exchange Unit
  1. Click Here for RA to return core for credit above.*
 

Most starters ship the same day they are received 
(if received via UPS)

*Only applies to customers who completed step 1.

Sky-Tec does not buy cores.

Cores can only be sent against

previously shipped factory direct exchange purchases.

All Sky-Tec starters are rebuilt to factory new specification and carry a same-as-new 2-year factory warranty

 

Upgrades

 

Yes, we can 'upgrade' your Sky-Tec starter to a different model.  Follow the instructions for "Rebuild-Exchange Program" above.  The starter model you send in for core return credit need not be the same model you purchased on the front end of the exchange.  However, voltage and engine applicability must be the same.  

 

So, when upgrading, the credit you receive will be the Core Return Credit  for the model of starter you send in.  In other words, to upgrade from a 149-12PM to a 149-NL, your cost would be $270 ($699 Exchange Unit Charge for the outgoing 149-NL minus $329 Core Return Credit for the incoming 149-12PM core).  However, this does NOT apply when stepping down to a lower cost starter. If stepping down, your net cost for the exchange will be the same as the Rebuild Price of the starter you are stepping down to. In other words, if stepping down to a C12ST3 from a C12ST5, the net cost is $309 ($679 for the outgoing C12ST3 minus $370 for the incoming C12ST5 core).   If you have questions, just give us a call.
