Re-core Services
Image © C, G, & J Inc
If you have a specialty unit that we do not carry in our regular product line, we can re-core it for you. Re-coring replaces the existing core in your radiator, oil cooler, or charge air cooler with a brand new core. You provide us your existing unit, and we’ll take care of the rest. Our cores come with a warranty guaranteeing they’ll be free from manufactured defects (see our Warranty Information page). If you have any questions, just give us a call.
On August 5, 2010, just two days prior to our scheduled departure date…we learned that the Charge Air Cooler in our 2005 Monaco Camelot had an air leak….With no time to spare, the Charge Air Cooler was removed from the motorhome, placed in the bed of our pickup truck, and off we sped to Gadsden, a four hour drive from home. (They) had it rebuilt and ready in a day, and we were on our way back to Dickson.
The happy ending was that we arrived in Redmond in plenty of time…We highly recommend C, G, & J Inc. in Gadsden should you need service or rebuilding of Charge Air Coolers, Radiators, or Oil Coolers.
