What is the return policy for Chevy accessories?

Most Chevy accessories purchased from Chevrolet's official store can be returned within 30 days of delivery if unused and in original packaging; refunds are issued to the original payment method, and return shipping is typically the customer's responsibility unless the item is defective or the wrong item was sent.


The policy balances customer flexibility with product stewardship. It generally applies to online purchases from shopchevrolet.com and other Chevrolet-branded channels; in-dealership purchases may have different terms. Always verify the current policy on Chevrolet’s official returns page or by contacting Chevrolet Customer Care for the latest details.

The following terms govern most Chevy accessory returns, though exceptions may apply for special orders or opened electronics.



  • Return window: 30 days from delivery or receipt, depending on the retailer's terms.

  • Condition: items must be unused, uninstalled, in their original packaging with all manuals and accessories included.

  • Non-returnable or restricted items: custom-made, special-order, or clearly marked non-returnable items; some electronics may require the packaging to remain sealed.
