Return & Exchange Policy

Last Updated: August 2026

At MaxLift Direct, we want you to be confident when purchasing automotive lifts, garage equipment, tire equipment, jacks, compressors, and other workshop products from us.

If you need to return or exchange an item, please review the policy below before sending anything back.

Return Eligibility

To be eligible for a return, products generally must:

  • Be unused and in their original condition

  • Be returned with the original packaging and included accessories

  • Include all manuals, parts, hardware, and documentation supplied with the product

  • Not show signs of installation, modification, damage, or misuse

  • Be returned within the applicable return period

Certain products may have additional return requirements due to their size, weight, installation requirements, or manufacturer restrictions.

Please contact us before returning any product. Unauthorised returns may not be accepted.

Products That Have Been Installed or Used

Due to the nature of automotive and workshop equipment, products that have been installed, assembled, operated, modified, or otherwise used may not be eligible for a standard return.

This is particularly important for vehicle lifts, tire machines, wheel equipment, compressors, hydraulic equipment, and other large or specialised machinery.

If you believe a product has a manufacturing defect or arrived damaged, please contact us as soon as possible rather than continuing to use the equipment.

Damaged or Incorrect Items

Please inspect your order when it arrives.

If your product arrives damaged, incomplete, or different from what you ordered, contact MaxLift Direct promptly with your order information and, where possible, clear photographs of the product, packaging, shipping label, and any visible damage.

We will review the issue and advise you on the appropriate next steps.

For freight shipments, please also follow any inspection or damage-reporting instructions provided at the time of delivery.

Exchanges

If you need to exchange an eligible product for another item, contact our team before sending the original product back.

An exchange may be subject to:

  • Product availability

  • Return eligibility

  • Difference in product price

  • Shipping or handling costs

  • Manufacturer-specific requirements

For large or heavy equipment, additional freight arrangements may apply.

Defective Products

If you receive a product that appears to have a manufacturing defect, please contact us with details of the issue.

Depending on the product and circumstances, we may troubleshoot the issue, arrange replacement parts, coordinate warranty service, provide a replacement, or offer another appropriate solution.

Do not attempt major repairs or modifications without first contacting us, as unauthorised modifications may affect warranty or return eligibility.

Return Shipping

Unless an item is defective, damaged in transit, incorrect, or otherwise covered by an applicable consumer protection or warranty requirement, return shipping costs may be the responsibility of the customer.

Large and heavy automotive equipment can involve significant freight costs. We recommend contacting us before arranging a return so that we can provide the appropriate instructions.

Refunds

Once an approved return has been received and inspected, we will determine whether it qualifies for a refund.

Approved refunds will generally be issued to the original payment method. The time required for the refund to appear in your account may vary depending on your payment provider or financial institution.

Original shipping charges may not be refundable where permitted by applicable law.

Manufacturer Warranties

Some products may be covered by a manufacturer's warranty. Warranty terms, coverage, exclusions, and claim procedures can vary by product and manufacturer.

A manufacturer's warranty does not necessarily provide the same rights as a standard return or exchange.

If you believe your product requires warranty service, contact MaxLift Direct and we can help guide you through the appropriate process.

How to Start a Return

Before returning any product, please contact MaxLift Direct with:

  • Your order number

  • Name and contact information

  • Product name or item number

  • Reason for the return or exchange

  • Photos or other relevant information, where applicable

Our team will review your request and provide return instructions if the product is eligible.

Please do not ship a product back without receiving return instructions from us first.

Important Note for Large Equipment

Automotive lifts and other workshop machinery can be heavy, oversized, or difficult to transport. Before purchasing, we recommend carefully checking product specifications, dimensions, lifting capacity, electrical requirements, installation requirements, and compatibility with your intended application.

If you're unsure whether a product is suitable for your garage or workshop, contact our team before placing your order.

Changes to This Policy

MaxLift Direct may update this Return & Exchange Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our products, business practices, or applicable legal requirements.

Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
