Can You Install Parts I Already Bought?
Yes — Godspeed Off-Road is happy to install parts you’ve purchased yourself. We understand that many enthusiasts research and shop for their own components, and we support that. Our labor rates for customer-supplied parts are the same as for parts we source, and we bring the same level of expertise and care to every installation regardless of where the parts came from.
A Few Things to Know
When you bring your own parts, we want to make sure the installation goes smoothly for both of us. First, verify that the parts are correct for your specific vehicle — year, model, trim level, and engine matter. A lift kit designed for a Jeep Wrangler JK won’t fit a JL, and shocks valved for a Tacoma won’t perform correctly on a Tundra. Our team is happy to verify part fitment before you purchase if you share the part numbers with us.
Second, inspect the parts when they arrive. Open every box, verify the contents against the packing list, and check for shipping damage before your installation appointment. Discovering a missing bracket or damaged component when the vehicle is already on the lift costs everyone time.
Warranty Considerations
One important difference with customer-supplied parts: warranty coverage for the parts themselves remains between you and the retailer or manufacturer. If a part you supplied fails, you’ll need to work directly with your seller for replacement. Parts we source through our supply chain carry our standard parts warranty. In both cases, our labor is warranted — if a part fails due to an installation error on our part, we make it right.
When to Let Us Source Parts
For complex builds involving multiple interrelated components — like a complete suspension system with matching shocks, springs, and control arms — there’s real value in letting us source the parts. We can verify compatibility between components, ensure you’re getting the correct application-specific variants, and stand behind the complete package. But for straightforward installations like bumpers, light bars, or wheels and tires you’ve already purchased, bring them in and we’ll get them on your rig.
Related Questions
Do you charge more for customer-supplied parts?
No. Our labor rates are the same regardless of whether we source the parts or you supply them. The only difference is warranty coverage — parts we source carry our standard parts warranty, while customer-supplied parts are warranted through your seller.
Can you verify if the parts I want to buy are correct?
Absolutely. Share the part numbers with us before you purchase and we’ll confirm they’re the correct fit for your specific vehicle. This prevents costly return shipping and scheduling delays.
