-Absolutely, positively, 100% NO warranty on ANY used “maintenance items.”
This includes seals, mounts, gaskets, hoses, bearings, bushings, bulbs, boots, fluids, tires, bolts, nuts, clips, filters, brake calipers etc. We recommend these items should be replaced NEW upon the initial repair to maintain your car. Cutting corners & wasting time on a repair can be dangerous, saves nothing, and will cost you more in the long-run.
-No warranty on "extras". Extras are defined as those parts that may be left onto the main part purchased, for example, a steering rack may have the tie rods still installed on it; if purchasing a steering rack, only the body of the rack is warranted, not the tie rods. Engines, engines many times will include all the accessories; if an engine is purchase the accessories should be considered 'freebees' and are not covered under any type of warranty, only the engine long block (block/head).

This can include, but is not limited to: installed parts in a car, the car gets sold to someone else; parts are gifted, sold, or transfered to another individual; reselling (parts locators) parts.
Under any type of warranty 'exchange', the customer is responsible for all shipment charges to and from our store of the parts being returned and the parts being replaced. We will be happy to replace the defective part for the customer but the shipping is the customers responsibility.
AFTERMARKET PARTS:
-We carry a full line of new replacement parts, from German, OE, OEM, to aftermarket. Aftermarket parts are manufactured by ‘off-shore’ companies (generally in Asia). These parts are fully functional and will work with the desired application, but the part may not have gone through the traditional testing measures of German parts, and/or may be made out of alternative materials versus the original configuration.
-Aftermarket parts are covered under a limited 30 day warranty from date of purchase against mechanical defect or failure. All other terms and conditions as outlined in the warranty section of our website also apply to aftermarket parts in regards to it being installed by a professional, terms, etc. At no time is The Euro-Depot, LLC, is employees, or its subsidiaries responsible for any subsequent labor costs which may occur in using aftermarket parts. The Euro-Depot, LLC, does agree to warranty and replace all failed parts that remain within our guidelines. Return shipping is the responsibility of the customer. Warranty approval is based upon our discretion and is handled on a case per case basis. Any actions that are against the terms outlined herein will immediately void all warranty.
BODY PANELS:
-No returns on body panels/cuts/sections, no exceptions!
-Used Body Panels: (sheet metal, glass, trim, etc.) The condition of a used body panel is defined by its own individual characteristics. Labor to do minor repair and painting is an incidental cost. If used body panels are preferred for a repair, we have many available to replace your damaged panel(s). We may recommend a new panel if you are unfamiliar with completing a repair with used panels needing refinishing. Unless damaged in shipment involving an insurance claim, all body panels are sold as-is and are non-returnable.
DRIVE-SHAFTS:
-Used Drive Shaft assemblies: The Euro Depot always recommends a new center bearing & flex disk before installing a used drive shaft. Drive shaft assemblies are inspected for wear, and guaranteed to work, and are non-returnable. Note: Mild, notchy u-joints on used drive-shafts is considered acceptable for used conditions. ALL used drive-shafts have notchy u-joints. This occurs from the minimal amount of movement in the u-joint when installed and used in the car due to a low inclination angle of the driveline, i.e. the u-joint moves very minimally so a slight notch is formed over time. This does not hamper or cause any adverse drive shaft functional conditions. If the u-joint is seized and can not be moved, it is then deemed failed and useless. If you need further explanation, please contact our sales staff.
ENGINE WARRANTY:
Used engine assemblies are run tested, inspected & guaranteed not to have cracked blocks, cylinder heads, knocking or excessive wear due to high mileage or lack of maintenance.
Engines are guaranteed to be free of & warranted against catastrophic mechanical failure for 30 days.
Parts external to both cylinder head and engine block (i.e., plug wires, distributor, injectors, etc.) are not warranted.
Extended warranty is available separately for engines and cylinder heads, please call for details.
Failure to replace timing belt, water pump, tensioner, rear mail seal VOIDS ALL WARRANTY.
Overheating or operating with improper fluid levels voids all warranty.
Leaking seals and gaskets are not warranted. - Inspect or replace all gaskets as necessary before installation.
Modification or use of engine for which it was not originally designed VOIDS ALL WARRANTY.
Using engine DURING competitive driving or racing VOIDS ALL WARRANTY.
Used engines do not include items pertaining to engine management such as ECU’s, Idle control valves, etc. We will always attempt to leave as many accessories as possible at time of purchase on the engine, but this is no guaranteed unless requested at time of purchase.
Select engine oil pans are sold separately and not included (some models).
All engine assemblies produced before 1983 are sold as-is and marked core only on invoice, and are priced accordingly.
Engines are the own creature and each has the own unique characteristics. From time to time engines of age may need some tweaking to make them 100% or to your unique specific needs. On older (pre-98 models), although not neccessarily required items such as all seals, gaskets, head gaskets, water pumps, timing belts/chains spark plugs and other easily accessible 'wear items' should be replaced simply due to ease of accessibility with the engine out of the car. This again may not be required but is recommended. We recommend this on ALL engines, but especially on earlier models simply due to their age. Please remember that 99.995% of all of the cars we receive are/were still running driving cars post impact and it is logical to believe that in order to propel themselves' into their fate the engines/car had to be functional and operational, i.e. a parked car does not wreck itself! All engines are thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and are further QC'ed by a shop forman for verification pre-shipment. We will never send/ship anything that is suspect in any way or DOA. Please install engines and all parts ASAP! Waiting to install can cause gaskets/seals to dry up and possible other internal issues.
