Parts Warranties

For all warranty returns, malfunction of the part in question must be verified by MBZ, or documentation provided by a licensed professional and verified by MBZ.
For all warranty claims, please email us with your order details.
For returns of used parts for all other reasons, if the item is shipped back to us within 30 days, we can refund the item cost minus a 20% restocking fee. No shipping charges will be refunded. New parts are exempt from this return policy, and we will only offer a refund if the new part is defective or if the item was misrepresented and a replacement is not available. All custom orders, including new upholstery items and wood trim, are non-refundable--only replacement warranties will be honored as above.
All warranty terms begin on the date of delivery.
