Terms and Condition

Warranty Terms & Conditions – The Rover Spot

All remanufactured engines sold by The Rover Spot include a 1-year / 12,000-mile parts-only warranty, subject to the following terms:

Core Exchange Requirement

Customers must return a core engine within 2 months of receiving their remanufactured unit.
The returned core must contain the same components as provided in the replacement engine.
The Rover Spot will cover return shipping costs for the core exchange.
Failing to return the core engine will void the warranty and the new one.

Installation Requirements

The engine must be installed by a certified professional repair facility, unless pre-authorized by The Rover Spot.
Warranty coverage begins upon delivery to the repair facility.
Customers must submit VIN, mileage, and repair order(s) via email after installation.

Oil & Maintenance Documentation

Initial Oil & Filter Change: Must be performed after the first 500 miles, with documentation from a recognized repair facility (excluding quick-service chains such as Jiffy Lube).
Subsequent Oil & Filter Changes: Required every 7,500 miles for the duration of the warranty, with documented proof of service.
Warranty is void if:

Excluded Components

The Rover Spot provides engines as long-block assemblies, including:
Covered Components:

Non-Covered Components (Not included under warranty):

E85 (Ethanol) Disclaimer

The use of E85 fuel is strongly discouraged, as it attracts water, leading to rust formation and potential seal damage over time.
Using E85 voids the warranty.

Cooling System & Fuel Injector Requirements

(Not applicable to Ingenium engines)

Water pump, thermostat, and plastic piping (including heater pipe) must be replaced upon installation; failure to do so voids the warranty.
Fuel injectors must be replaced on gasoline-powered vehicles.
Fuel Injectors and Cooling Install Kit is available for purchase to be shipped alongside the engine.

Non-Transferability

The warranty is not transferable and applies exclusively to the original purchaser.

Shipping & Valve Cover Disclaimer

Valve covers are installed for shipping purposes only and must be replaced before use.
Any oil leaks or damage resulting from failure to replace valve covers are not covered under warranty.

Repair Authorization

No warranty-related repairs may be conducted without prior written approval from The Rover Spot.
Disassembling the engine without authorization immediately voids the warranty.
For repairs that do not necessitate a full engine replacement (e.g., oil leaks), The Rover Spot will negotiate a pre-approved labor rate with the repair shop.
If an acceptable rate cannot be agreed upon, The Rover Spot will identify a repair facility within a 100-mile radius to complete the repair.

Handling of Engine Failures

In the event of a confirmed engine failure:
- The vehicle must be towed to an approved repair facility at the customer’s expense.
- The intake manifold/supercharger must be removed prior to inspection.
- A third-party independent inspector will assess the cause of failure within three business days.
If heat tabs are not melted, and the customer provides complete documentation (oil change invoices & repair orders), The Rover Spot will supply a replacement engine within three weeks.

Liability Exclusions

The Rover Spot is not responsible for labor costs, towing fees, rental vehicles, transportation expenses, or any incidental or consequential damages.
