Return & Warranty Policy

We're Here to Help Make It Right

At Used Engine Expert LLC, we want you to feel completely confident in your purchase. We know that sourcing the right part can sometimes be tricky, so we've made our return and warranty process as simple, friendly, and transparent as possible.


⏱️ 7-Day Return Window

If you want to return a unit that has no issue, you have 7 days from the date it is delivered to request the return. No-fault returns carry a 20% restocking fee plus round-trip freight. Units that arrive defective, damaged, or not as described are covered by us (see below).

  • Condition: To be eligible for a standard return, the part just needs to be in the same condition you received it—uninstalled and unmodified.
  • Installed Parts: Once a part has been installed, it cannot be returned unless it is found to have a performance defect covered by our warranty.

🤝 Defective, Wrong, or Damaged Items

If your order arrives damaged from transit, isn't the right part, or has a defect, please don't worry! We will make it right at absolutely no cost to you.

  • Just reach out to us within 7 days of delivery.
  • You get a full refund with no restocking fee, or a replacement unit of the same specification — your choice.
  • We send you a prepaid return shipping label and cover freight in both directions.

đźšš Free Freight on Approved Claims

If your unit is defective, damaged, or not as described and your claim is approved, we cover the freight with a prepaid label. No-fault returns within 7 days carry a 20% restocking fee plus round-trip freight.

❌ Cancellations & Restocking Fees

We process orders quickly to get your vehicle back on the road, but we understand plans change. Here is how cancellations work:

  • 24-Hour Grace Period: Cancel within 24 hours of placing your order for a full 100% refund—no fees at all.
  • Pre-Shipment (After 24 Hours): If you cancel after the first 24 hours but before the item leaves our warehouse, a 20% restocking fee applies to cover handling and processing.
  • After Shipment / Refused Delivery: If you cancel or refuse the delivery while the package is already on its way to you, your refund will be issued minus the 20% restocking fee plus round-trip freight.
  • Who pays freight: On a no-fault cancellation the customer bears the freight cost. Restocking fees and freight charges never apply to defective parts or warranty claims.

🏷️ Core Charges

Most of our units have no core charge. Engines and transmissions larger than 5.0L may include a core charge, and your sales expert will clearly explain it before you buy if your unit has one.

🛡️ Our Warranty: 90 Days or 6 Months by Vehicle Year

Every part we sell is covered by a warranty, and the length depends on the model year of your vehicle:

  • Vehicles 1999 and older: 90 days from delivery.
  • Vehicles 2000 and newer: 6 months from delivery (our standard coverage).
  • What it covers: Any unexpected part failure under normal driving conditions. There is no mileage cap.
  • Our promise: If a valid warranty issue comes up within the period, we ship you a replacement unit of the same specification at no additional charge, and we cover freight in both directions.
  • Please note: The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or accidents. Looking for extra peace of mind? Ask your specialist about extended coverage options.

đźš« Non-Returnable Items

We cannot accept returns on:

  • Parts that have been installed and are working properly (not defective).
  • Return requests made after the 7-day delivery window has passed.
