All returns are subject to our normal retail returns policy, plus 7 business days from the date of purchase. The return must be authorized in advance by AKG Motorsport and the product(s) must be returned clean and unused, in original condition, and in the original manufacturer packaging. Please take note that any and all shipping costs are non-refundable. Special order/custom and electrical products are non-returnable.

If a product is damaged during shipment, you must keep the box and all packaging material, and contact us immediately. You may be required to take pictures of the box and contents when initiating a claim.

All warranty issues are subject to our current retail warranty policy. No credit or replacement will be issued until the product in question has been returned to us, has been inspected, and upon inspection, it is determined that the product in question is eligible for such credit or replacement. Any available warranty is invalid if the failure of an AKG product, or a subsequent component is the result of installer and/or end-user abuse, including, but not limited to negligence, lack of maintenance, accident or improper use or installation of a product. Percent credits are at our discretion. Shipping charges are not covered under warranty. Most parts are sold for off-road use only.
