    Shoppers who choose Cove Garage Express can discover appealing items at prices generally 15-25% lower than what they would typically pay at conventional retail or dealer outlets. All the products we offer are being sold by their respective owners. When making a purchase through Cove Garage Express, you engage in a private transaction with the seller, which we facilitate anonymously, securely, and conveniently.
    The Cove Garage Express process offers distinct advantages over dealing directly with a private seller for several reasons:
    1. Diverse Selection - Cove Garage Express provides a broad array of items to choose from, streamlining the process compared to coordinating test-drives with multiple sellers in different locations. We ensure the items are of utmost quality by conducting thorough inspections, background checks, professional photography, and detailed listings for each item on sale.
    2. Expertise - Our team comprises mechanics, car enthusiasts, lending specialists, and registration clerks, among others, ready to address any inquiries you may have.
    3. Convenience - Serving as a comprehensive one-stop service, we handle everything from sales to delivery. Cove Garage Express offers an efficient avenue to secure items below retail price without the typical associated hassles.
    4. Safety - By exclusively interacting with us, you avoid interactions with strangers, eliminate the risk of missed appointments, and sidestep potentially uncomfortable face-to-face negotiations with the seller. Our platform ensures an anonymous, secure, and comfortable experience.
    Every item under our care is assigned a distinct six-digit inventory number. Within the inventory section, potential buyers can access comprehensive information and images of each item.
    The Transaction ID# (TRN) is a distinct 10-digit number allocated to each transaction. It serves as a tool for Buyers and Sellers to monitor real-time transaction status, track delivery progress, verify payment status, and gain other relevant information. Checking the Transaction Status also grants buyers access to payment instructions.
    Please note that the TRN is exclusively accessible to registered customers who currently have an ongoing transaction.

    • Check Eligibility. Confirm that the item you intend to return is eligible for a return. You have a window of seven days from the date of your used item's purchase to initiate a return for a complete refund. Cove Garage Express emphasizes that our sales personnel will not pressure you to opt for an alternative item during the return process.
    • Inspect for Damage. Examine the item for any new scratches or dents that were not present at the time of your original purchase. A full refund will only be granted if the used item remains in the same condition as it was upon delivery. In other words, if any damage occurred after the purchase, such as backing the item into a pole shortly after acquisition, the money-back guarantee will not be applicable.
    • Item Return Process. If you decide to proceed with the return, ensure you possess the appropriate identification and the documents issued to you on the day of delivery (e.g., Delivery Inspection Report). If the purchase agreement bears another individual's name, the concerned party must be the one requesting the refund. Complete the provided online form, and our representatives will contact you to arrange the item pickup. Cove Garage Express processes refunds through Bank Transfer. Once your refund request is submitted, you can anticipate receiving the refund within 2 days.

In the event that your satisfaction is not met, please reach out to our Customer Service within seven business days from the receipt of your purchase. Our aim is to facilitate efficient and swift interactions for both our consignors and buyers.

  • Timeframe: The item must be returned within seven days from the date of purchase. The returned item should be in the same condition as it was when delivered and should not have been driven for more than an additional 300 miles (applicable only to items with odometers, excluding shipping distances).
  • Quality Assurance: While we believe our items are in exceptional condition, we acknowledge that errors may occur. To provide you with top-notch quality, each pre-owned item undergoes a comprehensive safety inspection before being listed. If any issues arise, we address them at the seller's expense. In the rare instance of oversight, rest assured that our 7-Day Money-Back Guarantee ensures your peace of mind.
  • Satisfaction: We endeavor to match your requirements with the item we sell, but preferences may differ. If you are dissatisfied with your purchase, you have a seven-day window to return the item and receive a full refund. Your satisfaction is our priority.
