Warranty Disclaimer for MechMan Alternator Units
Automotive Alternators Standard 2-Year Repair Warranty
Thank you for choosing MechMan alternators. We stand behind the quality of our products and offer a limited two-year repair warranty on all MechMan automotive alternators. This warranty allows you to return your MechMan alternator for repair within two years from the original purchase date.
Coverage and Conditions
This warranty covers repairs to the MechMan alternator only and does not extend to other parts or equipment on the vehicle. Labor expenses related to the removal or installation of the alternator are not covered under this warranty. Please note that any alterations, physical abuse, misuse, improper installation, or use of the alternator outside its intended application will void the warranty. The MechMan two-year warranty is non-transferrable and is applicable only to the original purchaser. Customers must provide a copy of the original invoice to receive warranty service when sending in their alternator for repair.
Shipping Information
Customers are responsible for shipping the alternator to the MechMan facility for warranty service. MechMan will cover the cost of return shipping for customers located in the continental 48 United States for in-warranty alternators; within reason. Customers with shipping addresses outside this area are responsible for the cost of return shipping. Return shipping is not covered for in-warranty alternator units that are tested with no problems found.
Optional Extended Warranty Upgrades
For added peace of mind, Mechman offers optional extended warranty coverage on most alternators. These upgrade options are available directly on the product pages at the time of purchase.
Extended coverage options may include:
1 Year Extension
+$49
2 Year Extension
+$99
Lifetime Internal Parts Only
+$199
Brushes, bearings, rectifier, and regulator
To take advantage of extended coverage, simply select your preferred option from the “Optional Extended Warranty” choices on the alternator’s product page before adding the item to your cart.
B Stock Alternators
Mechman B stock alternators are factory refurbished units that may have been lightly used, returned, or reconditioned. They may show minor cosmetic imperfections like scratches or finish blemishes but are fully tested to meet Mechman’s strict performance and reliability standards. These units offer the same high-output performance as new alternators at a reduced price, making them a great value for budget-conscious customers. B stock alternators are sold with a 90-day warranty. FINAL SALE
The discounted prices are only valid on our website and do not qualify for any special promos, dealers, distributors, exchange programs or codes. We’re unable to honor these discounts for phone orders or anywhere else as these are meant to be a quick and simple alternator purchase for our customers.
These alternators are built to spec and are not applicable for modifications such as paint, clocking, pulley changes, harness swapping or regulator upgrades.
Return Policy
MechMan alternators are crafted to order, ensuring the highest quality and performance. We offer a return policy for new and unused standard-issue MechMan alternators in their default configuration within 30 days from the date of purchase. After a thorough inspection, returned standard-issue alternators will be subject to a 10% restocking fee. The customer is responsible for shipping costs to the Mechman facility. The original unit received back for return must be in “like new” condition before a refund will be made. If the unit received is not in “like new” condition it will not be eligible for return or an applicable increased restocking fee. Please note that any custom orders with specific regulator, finish, or pulley modifications are non-returnable.
Definition of “Like new” condition
“Like new” condition refers to an item that appears and functions as if it were brand new or almost new, with minimal to no signs of wear, damage, or defects. It should be pristine or near perfect, without any noticeable scratches, dents, or blemishes. An item described as being in “like new” condition is expected to perform as if it were fresh out of the box, with all original features and functionalities intact. It should be clean and well-maintained, showing little to no evidence of previous use. In summary, a “like new” condition means that the item is in an excellent state, almost indistinguishable from a new product, and would meet the expectations of a brand-new item’s performance and appearance.
