Warranty

AIT will determine how the transmission repair should be done. AIT may require that the unit be returned for the repair. Otherwise, AIT will provide parts to the customer to make the repair. If the customer performs an authorized repair, defective parts must be returned to AIT before labor costs will be reimbursed.
