What is the difference between rebuilt and remanufactured?
Rebuilt is the process of restoring a part to its previous state before failure by replacing the faulty or damaged parts of the component as well as those parts that are severely worn. The term ‘remanufactured’ is sometimes used interchangeably with rebuilt. To remanufacture would mean to replace all of the parts in a component. If that were the case, then in most instances, the sum total of the parts would be greater than buying a completely new component. Don’t be fooled with a justification for the higher cost to a component based on the explanation that it was “remanufactured rather than rebuilt.
