Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about condition, fitment, ordering, delivery, returns and installation planning.
Showing all answers
Fitment & product identity
How do I know whether a part fits my vehicle?
Match the complete OEM or reference number, connector layout, mounting points, position and option-specific controls shown in the listing. Year, make and model alone do not guarantee fitment. Contact us with the RoadSpec SKU and your original part details if you need help comparing.
Does a VIN guarantee that a part is compatible?
No. A VIN can identify vehicle basics, but one vehicle may use different hardware or software configurations. Use the VIN as a starting point and still compare the original part number, connectors, position and options.
Where can I find the OEM or part number?
Look for a printed label, stamped number or etched identifier on the original component. Record every letter, number and suffix. The RoadSpec SKU identifies our listing; it is not the manufacturer’s part number.
Condition & programming
Are RoadSpec parts new or used?
Unless a listing explicitly says otherwise, our inventory is used. Review the exact listing photos, description, included pieces and visible wear before ordering. Cosmetic wear does not by itself describe function or fitment.
Will the part need programming, coding or calibration?
It may. Radios, displays, clusters, modules and safety-related electronics can require programming, coding, relearning, security-code entry or calibration. Requirements vary by vehicle and part; confirm the procedure and installer before ordering.
Will I receive the exact item shown?
Use the listing photos and included-piece description as the offer record. If anything about the pictured unit or included pieces is unclear, contact us with the RoadSpec SKU before checkout.
Orders & shipping
How long does order handling take?
Standard handling is 3–4 business days. Priority handling is 1–2 business days for an additional $4.99 when available. Handling is separate from carrier transit time.
How long does delivery take?
Carrier transit is generally 5–7 calendar days after dispatch. Delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees. See the shipping policy for current regions, charges and exceptions.
How do I track my order?
We send tracking information to the email address used at checkout when the order ships. You can also use the Track Order page. Contact support with your order number if the message does not arrive.
Returns
Can I return a part?
Eligible items may be returned within the window and conditions stated in our refund policy. Request authorization before sending anything back and keep the part, identifiers and packaging in their received condition.
Who pays return shipping, and is there a restocking fee?
For buyer-remorse, incorrect-order or fitment returns, the buyer is responsible for return shipping and a 25% restocking fee may apply as described in the refund policy. If the item arrived damaged or materially different from the listing, contact us promptly with photos so we can review the issue.
