AutoTecknic strictly does not accept unauthorized returns. If an item needs to be returned, the customer must contact us first to obtain a return authorization number. This number must be clearly indicated on the exterior of the return package. Unless otherwise specified, the buyer is responsible for the shipping costs. The return package must include an invoice with the date of sale. To be eligible for a refund or credit, the returned items must be in their original packaging, unused, in pristine condition, and received by AutoTecknic within 14 days from the original receipt of the product. Damaged, installed, or deformed items will not receive any credit. All returned items will be inspected prior to issuing any refunds or credits. Special order items can only be returned if they have manufacturer defects. A 20% restocking fee applies to all eligible return items, except in cases where the return was necessitated by our error.
