WOW Auto Parts warranty covers defective parts and items sent incorrectly. Please read this warranty policy in detail as many unique parts have particular exceptions.
We offer a parts only warranty. No Labor Costs are covered for any part sold by Wow Auto Parts. If a part is defective we will first attempt to replace it with another part. However, if a replacement cannot be sent we will issue a refund for the total sale amount.
If a replacement is available and a reorder is made prior to receiving the return of the first part we will require payment for the second part and refund the initial order upon return. Return shipping costs will not be reimbursed if the part is not mechanically defective or delivered as ordered by the customer. As you will see in the Return Policy we required a detailed explanation of what is incorrect or defective about the part before issuing an RMA.
If you have simply changed your mind about your purchase, or placed your order incorrectly WOW Auto Parts reserves the right to apply up to a 25% restocking fee and withhold shipping amounts in the refund. This includes parts ordered for 'testing purposes only' or ordered incorrectly by the customer. We strongly recommend that you verify with a mechanical or body expert the actual part needed before ordering.
Requests to return a part after the warranty period will not be honored. Parts must be received within 90 days of the original shipment delivery date in order to be accepted.
