Warranty repairs must be performed by a repair facility recommended by Thunder Bay Auto Parts. It is the customer's responsibility to transport the vehicle to the repair facility.

Thunder Bay Auto Parts reserves the right to repair, replace or refund the parts. Warranty is non-transferable and may only be used by the original buyer.
