By purchasing from us, you agree to the warranty policies below, as well as our Terms of Use Policy.

 

Parts Warranties and Returns

For warranty returns, malfunction of the part in question must be verified directly by MBZ Parts, or documentation provided by a licensed professional and then verified by MBZ Parts.

For all warranty claims, please contact us  with your order details.
A "warranty claim" means that the part either arrived defective or damaged, or it malfunctioned within its designated warranty period (detailed below).
This can also include an error on our part: if our listing had incorrect interchange information or we sent you the wrong part, please contact us and we will do our best to make it right.
Returns must be shipped no later than 30 days after they are authorized or the return offer shall be null and void.

For returns of Used parts for all other reasons, if the item is shipped back to us within 30 days of delivery, we can refund the item cost minus a 15% restocking fee. No shipping charges will be refunded.

For New parts we will only offer a refund if the new part is defective or if the item was misrepresented and a replacement is not available--we do not offer warranty returns or replacements if the fault is the customer's.
All custom orders are non-refundable--only replacement warranties will be honored as above. This includes (but is not limited to) new upholstery, restored wood trim, refinished wheels, and custom rebuilt parts (such as servos, vacuum pumps, struts, and pumps.)

Cancellations requests can be granted per our discretion if made within 48 hours of placing your order if fulfillment of the order has not yet been initiated. If your cancellation request is made after 48 hours or after fulfillment has begun, then that is considered a return and is subject to all of the above conditions.

All warranty terms below begin on the date of delivery.
