Terms of Service

Last updated: September 15, 2026

These terms apply to every purchase from Reverse Garage ("we", "us"), a seller of used JDM car parts. By placing an order on this site you agree to them.

1. Our products and their condition

Everything we sell is a used, second-hand part unless explicitly stated otherwise. Some listings have multiple units available; availability is shown on the listing. Condition ratings (1–10), photos, and descriptions are our good-faith assessment of the actual item; minor wear consistent with age and use should be expected on any used part. It is your responsibility to confirm fitment and compatibility with your vehicle before purchasing.

2. All sales are final — no refunds

We do not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges. Please review the photos, description, and condition rating carefully, and message us with any questions before you buy. For local pickup, inspect the part at handoff — completing pickup confirms your acceptance of the item's condition.

Two rules sit alongside this. An auction win may be forfeited within 7 days of payment, before it ships or is collected, for a full refund (see the auction agreement below). An order chosen for local pickup that is not collected within 30 days of payment is forfeited: the part goes back on sale and the payment is not refunded (section 4).

If we are unable to fulfill your order (for example, the item is found to be damaged or unavailable after payment), we will contact you using the details from your order to make it right.

3. Ordering and payment

Payments are processed by Stripe on Stripe's secure checkout — we never see or store your card details. Prices are in U.S. dollars. For checkout purchases, applicable tax and shipping are shown before payment. Auction payments follow the auction agreement below. Starting checkout places a short hold on the item; the sale is complete when payment succeeds. We reserve the right to cancel an order created through an obvious listing error (e.g., a clearly incorrect price), in which case the payment will be returned.

You may check out as a guest or with an account. You are responsible for keeping your account password private; orders placed through your account are yours. Accounts are optional and can be deleted at any time from the account page (see the Privacy Policy for what that removes).

4. Local pickup

Arrange your pickup day and time directly with Ray by email or Instagram before coming to the warehouse. Items are handed off as-is upon inspection.

Pick up within 30 days of payment. Your order page and receipt show the date. We send a reminder a week before and a day before. If the order has not been collected by then it is forfeited: the part goes back on sale and the payment is not refunded. Shipped orders are not affected. Message us before the deadline if you need more time — we can extend it.

5. Shipping

Delivery options depend on the part: local pickup, flat-rate shipping or carrier rates calculated for your address. For checkout purchases, available options and charges are shown before payment. Auction shipping is shown before you bid, as described in the auction agreement below. We pack carefully and provide a tracking number once shipped. Once a package is accepted by the carrier, transit times and handling are in the carrier's hands; loss or damage in transit should be reported to us promptly so we can help pursue a carrier claim.

6. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

Parts are sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Automotive parts should be installed by qualified persons; you assume all responsibility for installation and use. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to an order is limited to the amount you paid for that order.

7. Auctions

Some parts are sold by timed auction. Bidding requires an account with a confirmed email, a saved shipping address and a one-time bidder registration in which you accept this mandate: "By placing a bid I agree to buy the item if I win, for my bid amount plus applicable sales tax and shipping up to the shipping figure shown when I bid (or the flat shipping rate shown). I authorise Reverse Garage to charge the card saved on my account for that total when the auction closes. If automatic payment cannot be completed, the order is held for owner review and I will be notified to update my saved card; there is no automatic payment countdown or cancellation. I understand that bids are binding, that shill bidding is prohibited, that Reverse Garage may cancel an auction with a stated reason, and that my IP address is kept with each bid for fraud review. If I win a local-pickup item I will collect it within 30 days of payment, or the order is forfeited without refund and the part is relisted; I may forfeit a paid win within 7 days of payment, before it ships or is collected, for a full refund."

A bid is a binding commitment to buy the item at your bid amount if you win.
A card saved on your account is required to bid. If you win, that card is charged automatically when the auction closes for your bid, shipping and applicable sales tax.
Applicable sales tax is calculated when the auction closes, added to your winning bid and shipping, and itemized on your receipt.
Shipping is shown before you bid; the winner is never charged more shipping than the figure shown (flat-rate items charge exactly the rate shown; local-pickup items charge no shipping).
If automatic payment cannot be completed, the order is held for owner review and you are notified to update your saved card. There is no automatic payment countdown or cancellation.
Bids placed in the last 2 minutes extend the auction by 2 minutes (at most 10 times, never more than 30 minutes past the listed end).
Shill bidding (bidding on your own items or on behalf of the seller) is prohibited.
Reverse Garage may cancel an auction with a stated reason; bidders are notified by email.
The IP address of each bid is kept for fraud review and removed when an account is deleted.
A winner may forfeit a win within 7 days of paying, before it ships or is collected, for a full refund; an unpaid win can be given up while payment remains outstanding.
Local-pickup wins must be collected within 30 days of payment. After that the order is forfeited, the part is relisted and the payment is not refunded. Shipped items are not affected.
All sales are final — parts are sold as-is.
