Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create an account to order online?

All you need to do is register with your email address and a basic credit card account will be set up. However, if you would like to upgrade your account and apply for Net 10 terms you will need to contact customer service and complete a credit application form.

I’m an existing customer of General Parts; can I use the new site with my existing account information?

Yes. You can use your existing account, but you will need to create a new login for the website. For your security, General Parts has no access to your logon credentials so this cannot be copied across to the new site.

How will my new credentials get matched to my old account?

We can match up your details by your account number. Enter your account number in the registration page in the account number field. Your account number can be found on any invoice, or you can call, and we will be happy to help you.

I don’t know my account number!

Don’t worry, if you use the same email address as previously used, then our technical wizards will merge your new account with your old one behind the scenes.

Which payment systems do you accept?

We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express.

What shipping options are available?

UPS and FedEx are our shipping carriers. Standard shipping is ground. If you prefer next day, 2nd day, or 3rd day please call us as they are available at an additional cost. Will call is also available for local pick-up.

What is the cutoff time for next day delivery?

For all in-stock orders shipping from our distribution center, cut-off is 4pm central time.

Help! I can’t find the part I need.

Don’t worry you can contact one of our parts specialists who can help with any research needed. You can either use the ‘ask an expert’ box on this site, call customer service at (888) 498-1238, or email partsdirect@generalparts.com.

What is the warranty period?

All parts sold are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty period, which is typically 90 days with a valid model and serial number.

Do you sell aftermarket parts?

No, we do not. We retail exclusively in O.E.M. parts.

Where will my package be shipped from?

Our central distribution center is in Waukesha, Wisconsin. However, if our website detects you are close to one of our 24 branch warehouses and the part is available locally, then your package will be shipped from that location or be available for local pick-up.

How do I make a return?

All returns require an RMA to be issued. To receive an RMA simply call customer service at (888) 498-1238 or email partsdirect@generalparts.com. To view our complete returns policy, please visit here for our returns policy.

My part has not arrived, what should I do?
