Coverage Limit: Warranty coverage expires when either the applicable time limit or mileage limit is reached first.
Warranty eligibility depends on the covered component, proper installation, required maintenance, timely reporting, and supporting documentation.
Sensors, wiring, water pumps, thermostats, belts, hoses, gaskets, seals, manifolds, electrical components, and other external items supplied with the unit are not covered under warranty. Failure of these items does not constitute a warranty claim.
Thrifty Engines warrants mechanical performance only. Used components may show normal wear, surface rust, or cosmetic imperfections consistent with age and prior use.
Appearance alone is not grounds for return or dispute. Any appearance concerns must be reported within 7 calendar days of delivery.
Inspect the engine or transmission when it is delivered.
Shipping damage or missing items must be reported within 48 hours of delivery.
Photograph any visible shipping damage or missing-item concern.
Visible freight damage must be noted with the shipping carrier upon receipt.
To maintain warranty eligibility, all work must be performed by a licensed repair facility or ASE-certified mechanic.
Installation must be completed within 15 calendar days of delivery.
A new water pump, thermostat, and timing belt or timing chain must be installed.
Commercial service receipts and installation invoices must be retained. Failure to provide required documentation will result in claim denial.
The vehicle odometer mileage must be recorded on the installation invoice at the time of installation.
Contact our support team immediately after a suspected failure.
Cease operation of the vehicle after the failure occurs.
Do not dismantle, modify, or authorize repairs before claim review.
Submit the claim through the applicable warranty process within 10 business days.
Review how approved claims may be resolved, what can void coverage, cancellation and return conditions, and how to contact Thrifty Engines for warranty support.
For an approved warranty claim, Thrifty Engines may, at its sole discretion, provide one of the following remedies:
Replace the product with a comparable used engine or transmission.
Issue a refund for the original purchase price when that remedy is approved.
The customer agrees to provide Thrifty Engines one reasonable opportunity to inspect, diagnose, repair, replace, or otherwise resolve any verified warranty claim or product-related issue.
If Thrifty Engines approves and offers a replacement product as the warranty remedy, and the customer refuses delivery, declines the replacement, fails to cooperate with the replacement process, or demands a refund instead of accepting the approved remedy, that action will be treated as a voluntary cancellation of the order by the customer.
Applicable cancellation charges, restocking fees of up to 20%, and shipping, return-shipping, or handling costs may apply in these cases.
Liability is strictly limited to the original purchase price of the covered product.
Failure to report visible issues within 7 days.
Installation after 15 days from delivery.
Unauthorized repairs, modifications, or disassembly.
Overheating, oil starvation, racing, off-road use, or lack of maintenance.
Missing or tampered heat tabs.
Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase.
Cancellations after 24 hours or refused shipments are subject to a 20% restocking fee plus applicable two-way shipping charges.
Inventory hold, special order, and custom procurement deposits are non-refundable.
This warranty applies only to the original purchaser and the original vehicle listed on the invoice. It is non-transferable.
