These terms apply when you request a quote from, or buy a part from, AllVintage Auto Parts ("AllVintage", "we", "us"). Please read them before placing an order. They set out what we promise, what we do not, and what we need from you.
1. Agreement to these terms
By using allvintageautoparts.com, submitting a quote request, or placing an order, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site or place an order.
You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter into a binding contract.
2. What we do
AllVintage Auto Parts is a parts sourcing and supply service. We locate used, recycled OEM and new aftermarket vehicle parts through a network of certified salvage yards, dismantlers and distributors, and arrange for them to be shipped to you.
Parts are described honestly using the information available to us and to the supplying yard, including mileage and condition grade where these are known. Used parts are pre-owned components: they will show normal wear consistent with their age and mileage, and cosmetic marks are to be expected.
3. Quotes and pricing
- Quotes are free and carry no obligation. Requesting one does not commit you to buy.
- A quote is valid for 7 days unless we state otherwise on the quote itself.
- Used parts are single items. Availability can change between the moment we quote and the moment you accept, because another buyer may take the part first. Where that happens we will tell you promptly and offer an alternative.
- Prices are in US dollars and exclude sales tax unless stated. Shipping and freight are quoted separately and shown before you pay.
- If a price is listed in obvious error, we may cancel the order and refund you in full rather than honour it. We will always contact you first.
4. Fitment and your VIN
Please give us your VIN before you buy. A single model year can be built with several engine, transmission, trim and drivetrain combinations. Year, make and model alone are not always enough to identify the right part.
When you provide your 17-digit VIN, we match it against the manufacturer's interchange data and confirm fitment in writing before you pay. If we confirm fitment from your VIN and the part we ship does not fit, that is our error and we cover the cost of putting it right, including return shipping.
If you choose to order without giving us a VIN, or the vehicle has been modified or previously repaired with non-original parts, fitment is at your own risk and the return terms in section 8 apply.
5. Orders and payment
- An order is formed when you accept a quote and we confirm it. We may decline any order.
- We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover and PayPal. Payment is processed by our payment provider; we do not store your card number.
- Payment is taken in full before dispatch unless we have agreed trade terms with you in writing.
- You confirm that you are authorised to use the payment method you provide.
6. Shipping and delivery
- Standard delivery to the contiguous United States is normally 2 to 5 business days after dispatch. Tracking is provided on every order.
- Shipping is free on most small and mid-size parts. Large items such as engines, transmissions, doors, hoods and bumpers ship by freight, and that cost is quoted upfront before you pay.
- Delivery estimates are estimates. We are not responsible for carrier delays, weather, or events outside our control, though we will help you chase any delayed shipment.
- Freight items are usually delivered kerbside. You are responsible for unloading and for having help or equipment available for heavy items.
- Inspect your delivery on arrival. Note any visible damage on the carrier's paperwork before signing, and tell us within 48 hours. Damage reported after signing a clean delivery receipt is very difficult to claim against the carrier.
- Alaska, Hawaii, US territories and expedited air freight are quoted on request.
7. Warranty
| Part type | Standard coverage |
|---|---|
| Used mechanical parts | 90 days from delivery, parts only |
| Used engines and transmissions | 90 days standard; extended 6 or 12 month cover available at additional cost |
| Genuine OEM and new aftermarket parts | The manufacturer's own warranty |
Warranty cover means we will repair, replace or refund the part itself. The exact terms that apply to your order are stated on your quote before you pay.
What the warranty does not cover
- Labour, diagnostic time, towing, vehicle rental, lost income or any other consequential loss
- Fluids, filters, gaskets, seals, belts, sensors and other service items, unless they were supplied as part of the unit and failed on their own
- Damage caused by incorrect installation, or installation by anyone other than a qualified mechanic
- Damage from overheating, running without oil or coolant, contaminated fluid, or a pre-existing fault elsewhere in the vehicle
- Parts that have been modified, disassembled, raced or used commercially beyond normal road use
- Normal wear on a used component
We strongly recommend professional installation, and that oil, coolant, filters and timing components are replaced when an engine or transmission is fitted. Failures traced to skipping these are not covered.
To make a claim, call +1 818-945-1015 with your order number before removing the part. We may ask for photographs, a mechanic's report or the return of the part for inspection.
8. Returns and cancellations
- You may return most parts within 30 days of delivery, uninstalled, in the condition you received them, with any original tags and markings intact.
- Contact us for a return authorisation before sending anything back. Returns arriving without one may be refused.
- If we shipped the wrong part, or a part we confirmed against your VIN does not fit, we pay return shipping and send the correct part or refund you in full.
- If you ordered without VIN confirmation, changed your mind, or ordered the wrong part yourself, return shipping is your responsibility and a restocking fee of up to 20% may apply to freight items.
- Parts marked as-is, special order items, and electrical components that have been installed cannot normally be returned.
- Refunds are issued to the original payment method within 5 to 10 business days of us receiving and inspecting the return.
- You may cancel an order at no cost any time before it is dispatched. Once a freight item has left the supplier, cancellation is treated as a return.
9. Core charges
Some parts, particularly engines, transmissions and certain electrical units, carry a refundable core charge. Where one applies it is stated on your quote. Return the old unit, drained and in rebuildable condition, within 30 days of delivery and we refund the core charge in full. Cores that are cracked, seized, incomplete or damaged beyond rebuilding may attract a reduced refund or none.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from any order is limited to the amount you paid for the part concerned. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including lost profits, lost time, vehicle downtime, rental costs or labour charges.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.
Vehicle parts affect safety. You are responsible for ensuring that any part is installed correctly by a qualified person and is suitable for its intended use.
11. Trademarks and no affiliation
All manufacturer names, part numbers, logos and descriptions are used for identification purposes only. They remain the property of their respective owners. AllVintage Auto Parts is not affiliated with, sponsored by, authorised by or endorsed by any vehicle manufacturer. Use of a manufacturer's name does not imply that a part is supplied or approved by that manufacturer, unless it is expressly described as a genuine OEM part.
12. Use of this website
You may use this site to browse our services and request a quote. You may not copy or republish its content for commercial use, attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of it, submit false or automated enquiries, or use it in any way that interferes with its operation or with other users.
We aim to keep the information on this site accurate and current, but we do not warrant that it is free of errors. Availability, pricing and specifications are confirmed on your written quote, which prevails over anything stated on the site.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and we each consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest remain in force.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. The terms in force at the time you place an order are the ones that apply to that order.
