Frequently Asked Questions
Finding Parts at PartsAvatar
We sell a broad range of auto-parts for practically every vehicle brand in North America. Whether you are looking for a deal on brake pads or trying to track down a hard-to-find sensor, Parts Avatar offers you industry-leading coverage for all of your automotive needs.
We utilize a network of warehouses across the country that specialize in both premier aftermarket brands, as well as original equipment (OE) like you would buy at a dealership, aftermarket parts like you would buy at a local auto parts store, remanufactured parts from leading companies and specialty parts from small companies you may not have heard of (like repair manuals on CD and Ford Explorer/Ranger armrest repair kits). Everything we sell comes with a full manufacturer warranty.
No, due to a very large inventory list (the number of unique SKUs is in millions), we do not have a paper catalog. All of our available parts are listed in our online catalog which is continually updated.

Payment
We accept all major credit cards, including Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. You may also pay through digital wallets like PayPal, Google Pay and Apple Pay. We also offer easy financing options through Flexiti and Sezzle, where you may pay for your parts over as much as 24 months. We do not accept Cash On Delivery (COD) or cheques.

Your online transactions on Parts Avatar are secure with bank level security. We use 256-bit encryption to protect your card information during processing.

If you have saved your card in your account with us, your card details are held securely in a reputed vault. We never save your card information on our servers, and we only store tokenised version, which is provided to us by the payment processor. Tokens contain secret information that proves an identity, such as credit card details or personal data that appears as random characters. Tokens replace the identifying information (a 16-digit card number) with substituted credentials for added protection.

If your credit card is getting rejected repeatedly, please verify the following

  1. Your billing address matches the address in your bank records
  2. Your card number, expiry and CVV are entered correctly
  3. You have sufficient funds or credit limit available in your card
  4. Your card is not blocked or inactive.

If you are still having issues, please try to make the payment through another card. You may also contact your credit card provider or your associated bank and ask them for the rejection reason. If that also does not work, try paying through the PayPal checkout. You do not need to have a PayPal account to use PayPal checkout.

If you need further help, please use our online chat and one of the experts will be happy to help.

When we issue a refund, you will receive a confirmation email. Please get in touch with us immediately if you haven’t received your confirmation email.

It takes 3-5 business days for the funds to reflect back in your account after we issue the refund. If you don't see the funds back in your account after 5 business days of receiving the confirmation email, please contact us.

There are NO hidden charges when you place an order. The prices listed for all the items are the last prices we received from our suppliers. In rare case, if there is a price change, our team will contact you to confirm the difference.

Any taxes, shipping charges, or handling charges (where applicable) are displayed in the cart before you begin the checkout.

Make sure you authorise Parts Avatar to charge you for the transaction (by clicking on the tick box) or else it will redirect you to the checkout page again. Double check your payment method - If you don't have a payment method tied to your Sezzle account, or we aren't able to charge it (because it's expired or there aren't enough funds available), you won't be able to place any new orders.
If you haven’t received your email receipt, then the reason could be that your order might not have been placed with us, or the email you used to place the order was incorrect. We also suggest you check your Spam or Promotions folder for the order confirmation email.
Sometimes an order needs further security verification before we can fulfill it. In that case you will receive an email with further steps to verify your payment method. If you do not respond to that email within 3 days, your order is automatically canceled.

Core
When a vehicle is repaired, the old or failed part that was replaced is called a core. These cores are then remanufactured (recycled) by companies to original equipment specifications. Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them, replacing the faulty and/or worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original function. The testing and procedures are the same as the original equipment manufacturers. Numerous items are still re-manufactured today and for good reason. Fuel injectors for instance and a very easy item to re-manufacture (if you have the expensive cleaning machine, all the new internal parts needed, and of course the know-how) and they save the end user hundreds of dollars. A typical gasoline fuel injector can cost $150-$300 or more easily, If you need all 8 injectors, well that is around $1500. A re-manufactured fuel injector can cost only $75-$200, purchasing 8 is half the price and a huge savings. If you need diesel fuel injectors, well then you will almost always purchase re-manufactured as many times new is not even available.
In the auto parts world, there are parts that can be recycled or re-manufactured and there are many parts which falls under this category. The customer pays the core deposit at the time of purchase of this item. After receiving their new part, the buyer can send back their old part, or "core". Once the core is returned to the seller and it has been inspected to ensure it is rebuild-able and resell-able, the core deposit is fully refunded to the buyer.
You can send your core back to PartsAvatar along with your RMA. Please see our Return Order page for instructions. Returning the core allows parts to be re-manufactured / recycled. Bringing back your core helps save our environment by keeping approximately 54,000 tons of cores out of landfills annually!
Core returns are processed the same way as a regular return, please see our Return Order page here to know about our return procedure. To receive credit, a returned core must be complete and in its original, unmarked manufacturer's packaging. Parts Avatar is not responsible for any shipping costs or other expenses associated with returning the core to us.
