Q. Do you offer a warranty?

A. Yes. All of our OEM parts are backed by Mitsubishi's 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty.

Q. How do replacement parts affect my vehicle’s warranty?

A. It’s actually against federal law to void a warranty for use of an aftermarket part. The Magnuson-Moss warranty act, enacted in 1975, makes it illegal for auto manufacturers to void a warranty simply because the owner of the vehicle adds an aftermarket product to a vehicle. The law states that unless the manufacturer can prove the problem was caused by an aftermarket part, they have to repair the vehicle. All that said, we still think OEM Mitsubishi parts are the best option for your vehicle.

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer and means that the parts are directly from the factory. They are built to match the specifications and standards of Mitsubishi and backed by the company’s warranty.

Sometimes aftermarket parts are cheaper up front, but you may end up paying much more in the long run.

Q. How can I be sure the part I need will fit my vehicle?

A. When you place your order there’s an option to enter your VIN. Entering your VIN all but guarantees you’ll get a part that matches your vehicle exactly. If you’re still not sure, please contact us at 530-936-2324 or support@factorymitsubishiparts.com to verify fitment before ordering.

Q. Why are OEM parts better for my vehicle? Can’t I just get a cheaper aftermarket part?

A. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer and means that the parts are directly from the factory. They are built to exactly match the specifications of your vehicle. They are always built to the standards of Mitsubishi and backed by the company’s warranty. Sometimes, it's not worth the risk to purchase aftermarket parts - you may end up paying less up front but the costs down the road could be significant.

Q. How do I tell if the part is for the driver’s side or the passenger’s side?

A. As a rule, the driver’s side is listed as L (left) and the passenger’s side is R (right).
