PARTIES TO THIS LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITED WARRANTY PERIOD:  This Limited Warranty is between the owner/lessee of the vehicle at the time the repair is made yourself and Gengras.  This Limited Warranty coverage begins on the original date of service work and ends when the vehicle is no longer owned/leased by you or Gengras is sold or otherwise ceases to exist.  This Limited Warranty may not be transferred.  

LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE:  This Limited Warranty is specific to work or repairs performed by Gengras.  All claims and/or repairs associated with this Limited Warranty must be performed at Gengras.  Gengras will not pay for or reimburse you for warranty claims under this Limited Warranty if the replacement of parts and/or labor is performed by any other facility or person.  In the event of a Failure or Mechanical Breakdown of a Covered Part, subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations herein, Gengras will replace the Covered Part(s), including labor; with a new OEM part whenever possible, however, in the event a new OEM part is not available, Gengras reserves the right to: (i) repair the existing defective or broken part, (ii) replace it with our manufactured part or one of like kind and quality, or (iii) refund the cost of the part and installation labor indicated on this repair order.  Parts replaced under this Limited Warranty do not include a Gengras Limited Lifetime warranty, unless otherwise stated in writing by Gengras.  This Limited Warranty becomes null and void if the warranted part is modified, or affected by any other person(s) or facility other than Gengras.  A Failure or Mechanical Breakdown means the failure of a Covered Part due to a manufacturers defect or faulty workmanship, but does not include cosmetic failures or damage.  A Covered Part has failed when it can no longer perform the function for which it was designed.
