At Automotive DIY, your satisfaction and safety are our top priorities. We want you to feel completely confident in every purchase. If you're not 100% happy with your order, we'll make returning it simple and stress-free.

📅 30-Day Return Window

You may return most new, unopened tools, accessories, and unused parts within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. The clock starts from the date your order was confirmed as delivered.

For digital purchases (guides, video courses, diagnostic software), refunds are processed within 14 days if you haven't downloaded or accessed more than 20% of the content.

Condition Requirements

To qualify for a refund, items must meet the following conditions:

  • Original packaging intact and undamaged
  • All accessories, manuals, and hardware included
  • Unused, uninstalled, and free of oil, dirt, or modifications
  • Proof of purchase or order number available
⚠️

Important: Items that show signs of use, installation, or missing components may be subject to a 15% restocking fee or may be eligible for exchange/credit instead of a full refund.
