We stand behind the parts we sell!

What Makes the Auto Parts Blauparts Sells Different?

We've been an Audi & VW cars specialist for over 30 years. Our years of hands-on experience have resulted in a vast knowledge base of the automotive parts industry. We don't just sell any parts. Our mission is to supply only the highest-quality brand-name OFFICIAL O.E. parts. This means that wherever and whenever possible, we use the same manufacturers that supply Audi & VW. We've worked hard to establish direct partnerships with these manufacturers, cutting out the middle man and ensuring that the parts we receive are made by a legitimate OFFICIAL O.E. manufacturer. You can be confident that the parts we sell are of the highest quality and correct fit for your specific vehicle.

We go the extra mile. We don't just sell parts, we also install them in our repair service facility for our loyal customers. As fellow enthusiasts and Audi VW owners, we also use the parts we sell on our vehicles and our company test vehicles. Most parts and every BLAU brand product has gone through extra and aggressive race track testing at our local Road America race track in Elkhart Lake, WI.

We feel confident that no other parts supplier in the country goes through the quality control disciplines that we do to ensure our customers get the best OFFICIAL O.E. parts at great low prices.

Warranty Policy Details

Note: This warranty policy applies to all purchases made from this new website (Introduced November 17th, 2017). See the note at the bottom of this page if you want to warranty a product you purchased before November 17th, 2017.

How does it work?

Nearly every part we sell comes with our limited lifetime warranty from any defect in product material or workmanship for the period of time that you own the vehicle. See the list of 'What's Covered' and 'What's NOT Covered' below. The Limited Lifetime Warranty on engine components (i.e. timing belt parts) is covered for the manufacturer's recommended service interval/mileage lifespan. For instance, timing belt parts on the Audi VW 1.8T engine have a recommended service interval of 75,000 miles. If any of the timing belt parts fail before their recommended service life of 75,000 miles - they're covered under our Limited Lifetime Warranty. See our full listing of what's covered below.

SAVE YOUR RECEIPT

It is required as proof of purchase if you need to return a part for a warranty.

  • Complete our Registration Form within 90 days of original purchase.
    Failure to register within 90 days voids warranty consideration. Your original order email confirmation contains a link to our Registration Form, or fill it out by selecting the Registration Form button below. Once you've completed the required Registration Form, you'll receive an email confirming that your part(s) has been registered for our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
  • Return the registered part(s) to us.

    To return a Limited Lifetime Warranty item(s), simply choose one of the following 2 options:

    • Create a new Return Request by logging into your account. If you don't have an account, submit an RMA Request as a guest here.
    • When the request is approved, print the Packing Slip by selecting the Print Packing Slip button in the Return Request. Enclose both the Original Sales Invoice and the Packing Slip you've printed inside the box.
    • Carefully package your parts and ship them back to us. The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs. See Return Shipping for required info on returning the part(s) for warranty consideration. Upon receipt, we'll issue you a refund via Store Credit or we'll send you a Replacement (check requested choice when filling out Return Request).
    • Need it faster? Buy the new part online, then create a new Return Request. Make sure to notate your NEW replacement order number in the Message field of the Return Request form. Follow the steps notated above. Upon receipt of the old parts, we will refund you for your NEW replacement order. Due to credit card security, return refunds can only be given within 30 days of the original purchase. If the return is not received within 30 days of the re-order, the refund will be given via Store Credit.
    • Refunds are given for the cost of parts only. Shipping charges are non-refundable.

Limited Lifetime Warranty Requirements:

  • Registration is required within 90 days of original purchase.
  • Original Proof of Purchase must be included with the return.
  • Valid to the original purchaser (non-transferable) and original car on which the product is installed.
    Please Note: Only customers who registered their order and completed the Warranty Registration Form within 90 days of original purchase are eligible to return their parts for warranty consideration. Failure to register within 90 days of original purchase voids warranty consideration. Returns received that fall outside of these requirements will not be processed. Contact us with any questions.
