Frequently Asked Questions About Same-Day Parts Pickup
How quickly can I get parts if I order online for local pickup?
When you place an online order for local pickup, we typically have your parts ready within 1-2 hours during business hours. Once we receive your order, our parts team pulls the items, verifies everything is correct, and sends you a confirmation email when your order is ready. For very specialized or uncommon parts, we'll contact you with a time estimate if the standard timeframe isn't possible. During peak seasons (spring and summer), processing might take slightly longer, but we prioritize local pickup orders to minimize your wait.
What if the part I need isn't in stock locally?
If your needed part isn't in our Waynesville inventory, we offer several solutions. First, we can check availability at nearby dealer locations in our network, often securing parts with 1-2 day transfer times. For urgent needs, we offer expedited special ordering with next-day or two-day availability in many cases. Our parts specialists can also suggest temporary workarounds or alternative solutions to keep you riding while waiting for specialized components. Finally, we can ship directly to your home or next destination if you're just passing through the area.
Do I need my VIN number when picking up parts in person?
While not always mandatory, bringing your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) significantly improves our ability to identify exactly the right parts for your specific model. Motorcycle and ATV models often have multiple variations within the same year and model name, and the VIN allows us to pinpoint the correct specifications. If you can't provide a VIN, bringing your old part for comparison, knowing your exact model year, and any specific designation (like SE, R, or special edition information) helps ensure you get the correct components.
Can you help with installation of parts purchased for pickup?
While our primary focus is providing quality OEM parts, our knowledgeable staff can offer substantial guidance for many installation procedures. For complex installations or major repairs, we maintain relationships with several qualified independent mechanics and service shops in the Waynesville area and can provide recommendations based on your specific needs. For simpler installations, we can often provide verbal guidance, recommend appropriate service manuals, or point you toward helpful resources to complete the job yourself.
What forms of payment do you accept for in-store pickup?
Our Waynesville location accepts all major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express), debit cards, cash, and shop credit. For larger purchases, we also offer financing options through Synchrony Financial. While we don't accept personal checks for security reasons, we do accept cashier's checks and money orders. For commercial or fleet accounts, we offer invoice billing with approved credit applications. All in-store purchases receive a detailed receipt, and we can provide additional documentation for insurance claims when needed.
