PMP Auto Specialties LLC

Limited Warranty

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a used engine, transmission, or turbocharger from PMP Auto Specialties LLC. We appreciate your business and are committed to providing quality used automotive components.

All engines, transmissions, and turbochargers are sold used and "AS IS," except as expressly provided in this Limited Warranty. No other warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, apply beyond the terms specifically stated in this document.


Warranty Coverage

PMP Auto Specialties LLC warrants that the engine, transmission, or turbocharger purchased is free from defects in materials and workmanship for 120 days from the date the product is received by the customer.

Any warranty claim must be initiated within the applicable warranty period. Failure to return the product to PMP Auto Specialties LLC within the warranty period will void this warranty.

Extended Warranties

If an extended warranty is purchased, all terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty remain in full force and effect. The only modifications are the warranty duration, mileage limitations, and labor coverage purchased under the extended warranty.


Warranty Eligibility

This warranty applies only to:

  • The original purchaser; or

  • If purchased through an installing dealer, that dealer's customer.

This warranty is non-transferable and may not be assigned.

Warranty coverage applies only when the engine, transmission, or turbocharger is used:

  • For personal, non-commercial use;

  • In non-racing and non-competition applications; and

  • In its original OEM application or an equivalent factory-installed application.

Installation into a vehicle or application not originally equipped with the same OEM engine, transmission, or turbocharger automatically voids this warranty.


Warranty Void Conditions

This warranty is void if any of the following occur:

  • Racing, competition, track use, drifting, or high-performance driving

  • Horsepower-enhancing modifications or custom tuning

  • Installation of aftermarket performance components, including but not limited to:

    • Performance intake systems

    • ECU tuning or software modifications

    • Headers

    • Larger turbochargers

    • Larger fuel injectors

  • Improper installation

  • Low or insufficient engine oil or coolant

  • Abuse or neglect

  • Overheating

  • Electrical or computer-related failures not originating within the supplied engine, transmission, or turbocharger

Any modification intended to increase horsepower automatically voids this warranty.


Items Not Covered Under Warranty

The following items and conditions are specifically excluded from warranty coverage.

Oil Consumption

Used Subaru engines are known to consume varying amounts of oil. Oil consumption is considered normal wear and is not covered under this warranty.

Electrical Components

The following items are not covered:

If a cam gear fails during the warranty period, PMP Auto Specialties LLC will provide one (1) new OEM cam gear at no charge.

Labor is not covered. Installation must be performed by a qualified repair facility or professional technician.

If any heat tab is:

  • Melted

Pmp Auto Specialties Freight FAQ


Q: My parts are being shipped via freight… How does this work?


A: This means your part is too big or heavy for traditional UPS/FEDEX deliveries so we use LTL (Less than truckload) Freight carriers to ship our big or heavy stuff.


Q: What does this cost?


A: Rates vary greatly based on location and services needed


Q: What Freight companies do you use?


A: We primarily use R&L, YRC, ABF, and WARD


Q: How long does this take?


A: Freight companies operate independently of PMP, when we finish palletizing your item, we make a BOL (bill of lading) once we have done that the freight company is notified that your pallet is ready for pick up. At that point the freight company schedules it in for pick up. This might be the same day, this might be the next day… It might be 3 days from when we made our BOL. We have absolutely no control over this process, and cannot select a company that does give us control over this process since it does not exist for LTL Freight


Q: Ok, but how long *should* it take


A: 3-10 business days


Q: Do you offer expedited service


A: No


Q: Do you offer guaranteed service


A: No


Q: Can this be shipped to my house?


A: Yes, residential delivery with Liftgate service is available. It is the most expensive freight option out there.


Q: How will my parts come?


A: On a pallet, bolted or strapped down, secured, with black plastic wrap around it


Q: What do I do if my item looks damaged, or I think it's damaged?


A: Refuse it.


Q: My item is taking forever to get to me, what should I do?


A: Email me at [email protected] or Text me at 610-577-5594 and alert me to the issue. I can escalate the issue up to our account manager and attempt to fix the issue.


Q: If we don't want to use freight, what can we do?


A: you are more than welcome to pick it up, or have it picked up. Anything picked up is subject to PA sales tax


Q: Freight seems like it sucks?


A: It does, it's so bad that we have had to put two warnings on your invoice, and then make this FAQ so we can help everyone understand that timing delays due to freight are not us, and we cannot change it, even if we wanted to. We are just trying to be as transparent as possible about this process, as it's stressful for us to explain this as frequently as we have had too.


Q: Anything else we should know?


A: Freight is unpredictable, and can be very fast. Or very slow. Overall once the freight is picked up, it can be tracked VIA a pro number that the freight carrier gives us. We can also give this to you if you want, just message us for it.
