Used Auto Parts Warranties – What Consumers Should Expect
Get the Right Warranties for Your Used Parts!
Searching for the used auto part that you need with the correct warranties can be difficult and challenging. There are an abundance of factors and variables that impact the availability of the part you are looking for, how long, and how inclusive the warranty may be.
One of the key parts with what type of warranty you should expect on a used auto part is what type of auto part you are purchasing.
MECHANICAL PARTS
This group of parts includes most auto parts that have a moving component and a mechanical function that is not electric. This would include the engine, transmission, front or rear axle assembly, transfer case, differential, etc.
The warranty you receive or purchase on these parts requires the most in depth consideration, because these parts are the most likely to have some sort of malfunction or failure. They have moving parts and wearing parts that can eventually cause trouble or need replacement. You should accept nothing short of a 90 Day Warranty on these parts.
Here at Premier Auto Parts, we offer a “Silver” Warranty, a “Gold” Powertrain Warranty, or a “Platinum” (Lifetime) Warranty. These are all 6 months or higher warranties.
ELECTRICAL PARTS
This would include parts like the radio, starter, alternator, window switches, and other electronic automotive parts. Consumers should not stand for companies not giving them warranties for electronic parts because of the “finicky nature” of auto electric. In auto parts, there is always the possibility that there is an issue with electronic parts.
Here at Premier Auto Parts, we offer a “Silver” Warranty, a “Gold” Powertrain Warranty, and a “Platinum” (Lifetime) Warranty. These are all 6 months or higher warranties.
BODY & SUSPENSION PARTS
These are the rugged parts of the vehicle. These products are only damaged in the collision, or some other incident, or will possibly wear out over time.
Having a warranty isn’t pressing with these parts because they are not likely to fail.
