Returns, Refunds & Exchanges Policy

At Mister Auto Spares, we supply engines, gearboxes, and a wide range of automotive parts. We are committed to providing quality products and reliable service. Please read this policy carefully before purchasing.

1. 30-Day Return Period

Customers may request a return within 30 days of receiving their order, provided the product meets the return conditions below.

A return request must be made within the 30-day period. Returns requested after 30 days may not be accepted.

2. General Return Conditions

To qualify for a return, the product must:

• Be in its original condition.

• Not have been installed, fitted, used, modified, dismantled, or tampered with.

• Be returned with all applicable accessories, components, and documentation.

• Be accompanied by valid proof of purchase.

• Be securely packaged to prevent damage during return transportation.

Mister Auto Spares reserves the right to inspect returned products before approving a refund or exchange.

3. Engines & Gearboxes

Due to the nature of engines and gearboxes, customers are responsible for confirming that the product is suitable for their vehicle before installation.

Where required, customers should provide accurate vehicle information, including:

• Vehicle make and model

• Year

• Engine size or specification

• VIN/chassis number where applicable

• Engine or gearbox code where applicable

• Part number where applicable

Engines and gearboxes must not be installed, opened, dismantled, stripped, modified, or altered if the customer wishes to return them.

Once an engine or gearbox has been installed or dismantled, it may no longer qualify for a standard return.

4. Incorrect or Incompatible Products

If Mister Auto Spares supplies an incorrect product due to an error on our part, please contact us as soon as possible.

We may request photographs, vehicle information, part numbers, or other documentation to assess the issue.

If the incorrect product was supplied by us, we will work with the customer to arrange an appropriate replacement, exchange, or refund, subject to inspection.

If the incorrect product was ordered due to incorrect or incomplete information supplied by the customer, return or collection costs may apply.

5. Defective or Damaged Products

If you receive a product that appears damaged or defective, please contact us as soon as possible.

For damaged deliveries, customers should notify us immediately and provide clear photographs of:

• The product

• The packaging

• Any visible damage

• The delivery label

Where appropriate, the product may need to be returned for inspection before a refund or replacement is approved.

6. Change-of-Mind Returns

Change-of-mind returns may be accepted within 30 days, provided the product is unused, uninstalled, unmodified, and in its original saleable condition.

The customer may be responsible for return shipping, collection, and other applicable transport costs.

Special-order products or products sourced specifically for a customer may be subject to additional conditions.

7. Products That Have Been Installed

Products that have been installed, fitted, operated, modified, dismantled, or damaged after delivery may not qualify for a standard change-of-mind return.

This is particularly important for:

• Engines

• Gearboxes

• Electrical components

• Sensors

• Starters

• Alternators

• Turbochargers

• Fuel-system components

• Suspension components

• Other fitted automotive parts

Customers are encouraged to confirm compatibility before installation.

8. Refunds

Once a returned product has been received and inspected, an approved refund will be processed within 5 business days.

Refunds will normally be made to the original payment method where possible.

The time taken for the funds to reflect in the customer's account may depend on the customer's bank or payment provider.

Original delivery charges and return shipping costs may not be refundable, depending on the reason for the return.

9. Refund Deductions

Where permitted and applicable, deductions may be made from a refund for:

• Return or collection transport costs

• Damage caused after delivery

• Missing components or accessories

• Loss of value resulting from use, installation, modification, or handling

• Other costs directly resulting from the condition of the returned product

Any applicable deduction will be communicated to the customer.

10. Exchanges & Replacements

Where a product is confirmed to be incorrect, defective, or damaged due to an issue attributable to Mister Auto Spares, we may offer:

• A replacement;

• An exchange; or

• A refund.

Replacement products are subject to availability.

If the same product is unavailable, Mister Auto Spares may discuss an alternative solution with the customer.

11. Engine & Gearbox Warranty/Inspection

Where an engine or gearbox is supplied with a specific warranty or guarantee, the applicable warranty terms will apply.

Warranty claims may require the product to be inspected before a replacement or refund is approved.

Customers should not dismantle, repair, modify, or attempt to rebuild an engine or gearbox before contacting Mister Auto Spares regarding a suspected fault, as this may affect the assessment of the claim.

12. Return Process

To request a return, contact us with:

• Full name
