Shipping Information
Items that are in stock in our warehouse usually ship the same business day. Orders must be placed, payment verified, and security cleared by 3:00pm EST. Merchandise is shipped complete, properly packaged, and insured via the service you select. Occasionally an item is oversold. If this is the case, we will fill the orders on a first come, first serve basis.
Items that are out of stock usually ship within the time quoted at checkout, which may vary by brand. Payment will be secured in full as a 100% deposit and the item(s) will be ordered from the manufacturer(s). As each item becomes available, it will ship properly packaged and insured via the service you select. We will notify you in the event of a backorder. Backorders are left on order until they ship.
Back Orders
We continually seek updates on backordered items and regularly update your order status until the backorder is filled. Rest assured that backorders do not get lost or forgotten about. If immediate availability is a concern, please call and we will stock-check the item at the manufacturer.

How to Inspect Automotive Parts Upon Receipt
Please follow these guidelines when you receive your parts:
- Before opening the package, check for accuracy by matching the part number on the box with the part number on the invoice or packing slip. If it matches please proceed, otherwise call us immediately.
- In the event the product needs to be returned, you will need the box in good shape to avoid rebox fees. Carefully open the box taking care not to damage the parts or the packaging and keep the box.
- Inspect the parts for apparent damage and missing items. If no apparent damage and missing items are found please proceed, otherwise call us immediately.
- Mock up or lay out the assembly of the item on a clean soft surface to avoid damage to the parts. Make sure the parts received are what you actually want before proceeding to install. Once installation is attempted, the parts are no longer unused, uninstalled, and in resalable condition.
Installation Recommendations for a Trouble-Free Experience
- Do not take your vehicle apart, or commit to a time to install a part before the part arrives and has been inspected.
- Carefully read all instructions and make sure all necessary tools are available. We recommend novice installers (do it yourselfers) have a qualified and experienced professional at hand to ensure a successful installation. Assess your abilities and only proceed if you are capable of completing the install. If not, give the job to a professional.
Returning An Item For Refund Or Exchange

New Vehicle Warranties And Your Rights
Most properly installed products will not void your original vehicle manufacturers
warranty. However, if you experience a problem with an uncooperative dealership point out the provisions of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty - Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act. For more information call your vehicle manufacturer or click on the link above.
It has been established that a dealer may not deny warranties for new vehicles, unless the
warranty claim results from the installation of specialty equipment. In fact,
warranty-related materials published by the new vehicle manufacturers state that the
installation of aftermarket parts have no effect on the warranty unless such equipment
causes the warranty claim. Nonetheless, some dealers have improperly denied warranty
claims even though the claim had nothing to do with aftermarket parts.
SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) is very interested in hearing about any
cases that have gone to court and any opinions that have been issued from courts on this
issue. It is their hope that they will be able to use these court opinions to encourage
the vehicle manufacturers to properly instruct dealers on the appropriate circumstances
for denial of warranty claims. If you are currently having issues with a dealer over a
warranty claim, please contact us for SEMA's contact information on this issue.
