Start with your part

Find your warranty conditions

Open a part for covered components, limits and useful evidence. Most listed categories have three-year cover; down pipes and tuning cables have one year, and washer jets have a one-year manufacturer warranty. These periods do not set a time limit on your statutory rights.

25 part types

Alternators3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Electrical failure and rotating components, including bearings.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Oil-soaked units and physical damage are excluded under the existing voluntary warranty conditions.

Evidence and inspection

Return is required for inspection. Describe the charging fault or bearing noise and include any workshop findings. Photographs of the unit and any oil contamination help establish the cause.

See the claim preparation guide →
ABS Sensors3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Electrical failure of the sensor.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Breaks caused by contact or incorrect installation.

See the claim preparation guide →
Air Conditioning Compressors3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Main seals, compressor operation and the coil.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Physical damage is excluded under the existing part warranty.

Evidence and inspection

Keep the professional installation invoice; it may be requested. Describe the diagnosed fault and any findings about the rest of the air-conditioning system, as another component can affect the compressor.

See the claim preparation guide →
Camshaft Sensors3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Electrical failure of the sensor.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Damage from improper use and physical breaks.

Evidence and inspection

Describe the symptoms and include relevant workshop findings or fault codes if available. Explain how the sensor was identified as the cause rather than another vehicle component.

See the claim preparation guide →
Coil Packs3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Electrical failure where the coil pack is confirmed as the faulty component.

Limits to this voluntary cover

A fault in the ECU or another component is not a coil-pack defect.

Evidence and inspection

The existing warranty requires a licensed mechanic’s diagnosis on an invoice identifying the coil pack as faulty, rather than the ECU or another related part. Include the checks that support that conclusion.

See the claim preparation guide →
Coolant Pipes3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Material breakdown.

Limits to this voluntary cover

The existing part warranty has a no-overheating-history condition. See the specific condition below.

Evidence and inspection

Provide the requested mechanic’s report and explain any known overheating history. Include available findings about the leak or material failure. If historic information cannot be established, explain this to us rather than asking a mechanic to certify something they cannot verify.

Existing specific condition

A signed invoice from a licensed mechanic stating the car does not and never had overheating issues is required. Material breakdown is the only covered event over the 3-year period.

These are voluntary warranty conditions. If the requested history or evidence is unavailable, contact us. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law remain separate.

See the claim preparation guide →
Combination Switches3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Internal electrical component failure.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Excessive physical wear and associated physical breaks.

What the part warranty covers

Electrical components and the fuel-level sender.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Fuel filters and physical breaks caused by improper removal or installation.

Evidence and inspection

Explain whether the fault concerns fuel delivery or the level reading. Include relevant workshop findings and photos of any damage; do not operate or dismantle a fuel system just to produce evidence.

See the claim preparation guide →
Master Control Switches3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Internal electrical component failure.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Physical wear, tear and breaks under the existing voluntary warranty conditions.

Evidence and inspection

Identify which controls have failed and describe any intermittent operation. Include useful photos or diagnostic findings if available.

See the claim preparation guide →
Oil Coolers3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Cracking, warping and leaking under the existing part conditions.

Limits to this voluntary cover

The existing part warranty includes overheating-history restrictions. See the specific condition below.

Evidence and inspection

Provide the requested evidence about overheating during the warranty period and the diagnosed cooler fault. Tell us about known history and any limits in the available records.

Existing specific condition

Evidence that the engine has not been overheated during the warranty period is required. Overheating history will disqualify the claim as it can cause premature component failure.

These are voluntary warranty conditions. If the requested history or evidence is unavailable, contact us. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law remain separate.

See the claim preparation guide →
Overflow Bottles3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Material degradation, including weakening, cracking or perishing over time.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Caps are outside the additional part warranty; damage from improper installation is excluded.

Evidence and inspection

Photograph the affected area and explain whether the concern is deterioration, a leak or installation damage. The cap exclusion does not remove statutory consumer rights.

See the claim preparation guide →
Oxygen Sensors3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Electrical failure of the sensor.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Other causes of the vehicle’s symptoms are not, by themselves, a sensor defect.

Evidence and inspection

Professional installation and a documented invoice explaining the fault are required under the existing part warranty. Include the diagnosis supporting sensor failure.

See the claim preparation guide →
Power Steering Pumps3 Years

What the part warranty covers

The supplied pump under the existing three-year part warranty and installation conditions.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Incorrect installation or use is assessed under the standard exclusions.

Evidence and inspection

The existing conditions require professional installation, industry-standard replacement procedures and relevant receipts. Ask the workshop to describe the fault and work performed, including system flushing, fluid and bleeding where relevant to the vehicle. These examples are helpful evidence, not a new universal installation specification.

See the claim preparation guide →
Radiators3 Years

What the part warranty covers

The radiator subject to the existing part conditions.

Limits to this voluntary cover

The existing part warranty requires evidence about vehicle pressurisation issues. See the specific condition below.

Evidence and inspection

Provide the requested licensed mechanic or business report, explaining the radiator fault, relevant test findings and known pressurisation history. If past history is unknown, tell us what can and cannot be verified.

Existing specific condition

Evidence MUST be supplied by a licensed mechanic or business stating the car never had pressurisation issues. This documentation must be sent to us for processing before a claim is accepted.

These are voluntary warranty conditions. If the requested history or evidence is unavailable, contact us. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law remain separate.

See the claim preparation guide →
Starter Motors3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Electrical failure and the ring gear.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Other vehicle faults are not automatically a defect in the supplied starter.

Evidence and inspection

Professional installation invoices are required. The starter must be returned for testing, diagnosis and inspection. Include a description of the starting fault and available workshop findings.

See the claim preparation guide →
Sun Visors3 Years

What the part warranty covers

Failure to hold the visor up, including dropping in front of the driver.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Snapping and general looseness are excluded under the existing voluntary warranty.

Evidence and inspection

A short video of the visor failing to hold its position can help, recorded only while the vehicle is safely parked. The old wording refers to a “75% threshold” without defining a test. Ask us to clarify your situation; this guide does not invent a measurement or guarantee a claim outcome.

Existing specific condition

We do not warranty snapping of the visor but will warranty if it does not hold itself up (75% threshold). If the visor drops in your face it will be considered. General looseness is not covered.

These are voluntary warranty conditions. If the requested history or evidence is unavailable, contact us. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law remain separate.

See the claim preparation guide →

Existing specific condition

Requirements: A) Invoiced confirmation from a licensed business stating the cause with no pressurisation issues. B) Original professional installation receipts. Cars that have been overheated will not qualify.

These are voluntary warranty conditions. If the requested history or evidence is unavailable, contact us. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law remain separate.

Rust holes, and melting or warping caused by a manufacturing fault, within the one-year part warranty.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Damage outside the published cover is assessed under the standard exclusions.

Evidence and inspection

An investigation is required to establish the cause. Provide photos of the affected area and any available workshop findings.

See the claim preparation guide →
Tuning Cables1 Year

What the part warranty covers

Electrical failure within the one-year warranty, subject to the existing specific condition below.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Wear and tear and internal wiring breaks.

Evidence and inspection

Describe the electrical failure and include photos or available test findings. The existing wording distinguishes external electrical failure from internal wire breakage; contact us if the fault cannot yet be classified.

Existing specific condition

Will not cover wear and tear or the break of electrical wiring internally. Only external electrical failure within the 1-year period is eligible under this warranty.

These are voluntary warranty conditions. If the requested history or evidence is unavailable, contact us. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law remain separate.

Washer Jets1 Year · manufacturer

What the part warranty covers

The manufacturer’s one-year warranty; there is no additional Parts Factory three-year warranty for this category.

Limits to this voluntary cover

Do not assume the three-year badge applies to washer jets.

Evidence and inspection

Contact Parts Factory with your purchase details and a description of the fault. You can raise consumer-guarantee concerns with us as the seller; you do not have to pursue the manufacturer instead.

See the claim preparation guide →

Not sure which category applies? Contact us with your part name and order details before starting a claim.

A clear path to a claim

Tell us what happened. Keep the evidence.

A useful description and the relevant documents help us assess the part, identify the cause and decide the next step. A claim is not automatically accepted or refused because of a symptom alone.

01

Contact us

Use the claim form or email your order details, the part and a description of the issue. If a form requirement does not fit your situation, contact us directly.

02

Share the facts

Provide purchase evidence, relevant installation records and any photos or diagnosis you already have. Tell us what is known and what is still uncertain.

03

Assessment

We may request relevant further information or return of the part for inspection. Keep the part available and ask us for return instructions.

04

Outcome & next steps

Approved voluntary warranty claims receive a replacement part with shipping covered. Other remedies may apply under Australian Consumer Law.

Suspect an unsafe fault? Stop using the affected part or vehicle if continued use could be unsafe or worsen damage. Get qualified assistance. Do not keep driving or recreate a dangerous failure to make a video.

Make your claim easier to assess

A practical preparation checklist

Use what is relevant to your part. These preparation prompts are not a requirement to buy every test listed or a guarantee of approval.

01 / PURCHASE

Identify the order and part

  • Order number, purchase date and your contact details.
  • Receipt, order confirmation or other evidence linking the part to your purchase.
  • Part number and vehicle details where they help identify the correct item.

Missing the original receipt? Contact us with the information you have so we can discuss other purchase evidence.

02 / HISTORY

Describe the sequence

  • The original vehicle problem and why the part was replaced.
  • Installation date and when the new issue first appeared.
  • Symptoms, operating conditions and any relevant changes or repairs.

Separate what you observed from a suspected cause. “Unknown” is more useful than a guess presented as a fact.

03 / WORKSHOP

Provide relevant findings

  • The installation invoice where your part conditions require it.
  • The mechanic’s diagnosis, checks performed and results available.
  • Why the supplied part is suspected, and relevant findings about related components.

A fault code is useful supporting information, but it does not always establish which component caused the fault. Contact us before commissioning additional paid tests solely for a claim.

04 / PHOTOS

Show the issue clearly

  • A clear view of the complete part and its identifying label.
  • Close-ups of the affected area, and packaging if damaged on arrival.
  • A short video only if the symptom can be shown safely.

Keep original files. Avoid unsafe testing or unnecessary dismantling that could destroy evidence. Tell us about any work already performed.

Understand your cover

Our replacement warranty, explained.

Read this guide with your part’s conditions and the promises provided with your purchase. This guide does not reduce existing purchase rights or change a warranty already supplied.

What we provide

Our voluntary warranty covers eligible manufacturing defects and the components listed for each part, for the applicable warranty period. Approved claims receive a replacement part at no charge, with shipping covered.

The standard three-year offer on eligible parts has no kilometre limit. The shorter periods in the part guide are exceptions to that offer.

What “part-only” means

This voluntary replacement cover does not include labour, removal or installation, time, travel, lost income or other consequential costs. It is offered to the original purchaser and is not transferable under its existing terms.

These limits do not exclude statutory rights. Where Australian Consumer Law applies, a customer may have a separate right to a refund, repair, replacement or compensation.

Installation and diagnosis

Follow the vehicle and part manufacturer’s fitting instructions. Professional installation and supporting invoices are required where specified in the individual part conditions.

Our part-fitting tutorials and repair guides are general guidance. They do not replace vehicle-specific instructions or the qualifications needed for specialised work. If documentation is missing, tell us; a separate consumer-guarantee claim must still be considered on its facts.

Fair assessment

We assess the reported fault, relevant evidence, the part’s condition and any inspection findings. A fault in another vehicle component is not automatically a defect in the part we supplied.

If you disagree with an outcome, ask for the reasons and provide any additional diagnosis or evidence for review. Submitting a claim does not waive your legal rights.

Distinguish the fault from its cause

Limits and exclusions need context.

The following describe limits to the voluntary warranty. The particular fault and relevant evidence matter; these limits do not remove consumer guarantees.

Installation or use damage

Failures caused by incorrect installation or improper use are outside this cover. Describe the fitting work and diagnosed cause so a product defect can be distinguished from damage caused during installation.

Misuse, neglect or modifications

Failures caused by misuse, neglect or post-purchase modifications are excluded. Explain any relevant changes; their existence alone should not be confused with evidence of what caused the reported fault.

External damage

Damage caused by accidents, collisions, flooding or extreme environmental conditions is outside this cover. If damage was present when delivered, photograph it and contact us as an arrival issue.

Wear and consumables

Normal wear and consumable items fall outside the additional cover as described in the part conditions. A concern about premature failure or a manufacturing defect can still be raised with us.

For example

A broken connector caused during fitting and an internal electrical fault can produce similar symptoms. Photos, diagnosis and inspection help distinguish them. This is an illustration of the assessment process, not a decision about any individual claim.

Returns, inspection and costs

Know what happens to the part.

Before sending it back

Contact us for return instructions and include your claim or order reference. Retain the part and relevant packaging until we explain what is needed. Original packaging is not a condition of a statutory faulty-goods claim, but suitable protective packaging helps prevent damage in transit.

Do not post leaking, pressurised or hazardous items without appropriate carrier instructions. Tell us if a part is difficult to remove or return.

Who pays return freight?

For approved warranty claims, defective-part return shipping is covered. Ask about the return arrangement before booking freight. If you have paid reasonable return costs for a confirmed fault, send the receipt and order reference to our support email for reimbursement.

For faulty goods that are large, heavy or difficult to remove, contact us about collection or return arrangements and the applicable costs.

Inspection and timing

Some parts require physical testing before a decision can be made. We may need the part, a clearer description or relevant workshop evidence. Ask our team for the expected next step and timing for your particular claim.

This page does not promise a fixed turnaround for every fault. Statutory remedies must still be provided within a reasonable time where required by law.

Labour and other expenses

If you seek reimbursement or compensation, explain each expense, its connection to the fault and provide invoices or other evidence. The part-only warranty is not an automatic authorisation for workshop costs.

Reasonably foreseeable losses caused by a consumer-guarantee failure may nevertheless be recoverable. Contact us before further paid work where practical; this request does not remove a statutory entitlement.

Australian Consumer Law

Your legal rights stay with you.

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

Our voluntary warranty is additional to these rights. Its time limits, exclusions, original-purchaser condition and installation requirements do not take away rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Consumer guarantees may continue after a written warranty ends.

You can raise a concern with Parts Factory as the seller, including for a part with manufacturer-only cover. Read the ACCC’s warranty guidance →

Useful answers before you apply

Warranty questions, answered.

Does every part have three-year cover?

No. Most categories in this guide have three years. Down pipes and tuning cables have one year; washer jets have the manufacturer’s one-year cover. Check the part’s purchase information and ask us if it differs from this guide. Consumer guarantees remain separate.

Can I claim if I fitted the part myself?

Some voluntary part warranties require professional installation and the related invoice. Check your category above. Tell us how it was fitted and what happened. DIY fitting does not, by itself, remove statutory rights; damage caused by incorrect fitting is a different issue from a product defect.

What if I cannot find my receipt?

Send your order reference or other purchase evidence. An order email, payment record or other information may help establish the purchase. Redact unrelated transactions if supplying a payment record. Contact us if the form’s mandatory receipt field prevents you from explaining your situation.

Do I need a mechanic to perform every possible test?

No. Start with the relevant installation invoice and findings already available, together with your part’s stated requirements. Explain any uncertainty and speak with us before arranging additional paid diagnosis solely for a claim. Requirements depend on the actual fault and part.

Can I ask for a refund instead of a replacement?

The voluntary warranty provides replacement cover. Australian Consumer Law may provide different remedies, including the choice of a refund or replacement for a major failure. Tell us what has happened and the remedy you are seeking so the correct basis can be assessed.

Do I need the original box?

Keep it if available, especially for an arrival-damage issue. A statutory faulty-goods claim does not depend on retaining the original box. Use suitable packaging for any return and ask us for instructions before sending the part.

What if the warranty has expired?

Contact us with your purchase details and fault description. Expiry of the written warranty does not automatically end consumer-guarantee rights. The circumstances of the product and failure need to be considered.

Does a replacement start a new three-year period?

This guide does not promise a new three-year period for every replacement. Ask our team to confirm the written warranty dates for your replacement and keep that confirmation with your purchase documents. Any statutory rights remain unaffected.

When does my warranty period start?

Keep your purchase and delivery records and check the warranty information supplied with your order. If the start or end date is unclear, ask us to confirm it for your purchase. This guide does not impose a new start-date rule on an existing order.

What if the part is wrong or damaged on arrival?

Contact us with your order number, part details and clear photos before fitting it. Explain whether the item differs from what you ordered or arrived damaged. Do not classify a supplied-item error or defect as a change-of-mind return.

What about Platinum or extended cover?

If you purchased extra cover, send us the order and warranty documents so we can confirm the benefits promised with that purchase. Ask for written details of eligibility, price, duration and benefits before buying any new option. This page does not promise additional years, wear-and-tear cover or priority processing.

What if I disagree with the decision?

Contact our support team with your claim reference, explain the point you dispute and include any additional evidence. Ask for the assessment reasons and a review. You can also seek independent advice or help from your state or territory consumer agency; an internal review does not remove that option.
