Frequently Asked Questions

What options are available when buying from Compressor Salvage Company?

1. Used, Rebuilt – this means the item being considered (compressor, motor, cylinder assembly, etc.) will be returned to original specifications with new internal components and provided with a warranty. The price will be much lower than the cost of new.

2. As Is, Where Is – this means the item being considered will be sold as it is – without repairs or warranty of any kind.

What kind of warranty is offered on used, rebuilt compressors or components?

Compressor Salvage Company warrants that all used, rebuilt compressors or components will be free of defects in parts and workmanship for 90 days from the date of shipment - FOB their facility.

Who would buy used equipment with the "As Is, Where Is" terms?

The terms of "As Is, Where Is" works well for customers in the following situations:

• When a customer has several of one type of compressor and wants to have a used one for spare parts (cylinders, pistons, connecting rods, crank shafts, etc.).

• If a customer wants to add a compressor and has the manpower, knowledge and desire to handle the overhaul process.

How does the exchange program work?

The best way to explain this is with an example. If a customer buys a valve from the program, Compressor Salvage Company will rebuild and ship the valve at the time of the order. The valve is sold at a savings from new and offers even more savings in the way of a core credit. The credit is given to the customer when Compressor Salvage Company receives a used valve in return for the valve shipped at the time of the order. This credit is applied as long as the valve can be repaired and sold again as part of the exchange program. This is determined during an inspection by Compressor Salvage Company.
