  • Number of miles on the Southern Automotive product;
  • Perceived problem

2. Southern Automotive will offer suggestions to help you in troubleshooting or will issue an RMA number to return the product for evaluation under its 120 DAY Limited Warranty.

3. You must "safely package" each product with its RMA, which means you must place the product(s) within a shipping box strong enough to hold the weight of the product(s) and to maintain its shape during shipping with adequate packing material so that the product(s) will not hit other product(s), component(s), or the side of the box during return shipping to Southern Automotive. You should use a professional shipping company. Clearly identify the RMA in large (approximately 2") alpha-numeric characters in two locations on the outside of the box with a bold marker.

4. Include in the shipping box the following items:

  • Copy of original invoice on which the product was purchased (must be dated and show retail store name);
  • RMA number;
  • Name, address, and phone number to which the product is to be shipped after inspection; and

5. Returns should be sent accordingly to Southern Automotive by standard commercial means, prepaid and insured, for the full invoice amount, to: Southern Automotive 597 N. Saginaw St. Pontiac, MI. 48342-1468 USA. You also have the option to deliver the items yourself and at your discretion.

If a Southern Automotive 120 DAY Limited Warranty applies, your product will be repaired or replaced at Southern Automotives option and returned to you, freight prepaid (excluding any international taxes, tariffs, customs and/or duties, etc. which must be paid by you), via UPS ground service. If the Limited Warranty does not apply, we will advise you of the specific reason for denial and explain to you the costs involved in repair or replacement of your product. After relaying this information we will, at your option, either proceed with the repairs as quoted or return your product to you in the condition it was received at the time of inspection and warranty evaluation by Southern Automotive. If the Limited Warranty does not apply and you do not want Southern Automotive to repair or replace your product, you will still be charged the disassembly and inspection charges for the product and the product will be returned UPS COD insured for the new retail replacement value. This means you must pay any disassembly and/or inspection charges, return shipping, and insurance charges to UPS before the box will be delivered back to you.
