Performance Machine & Design – Shop Policies

By placing an order with Performance Machine & Design, the customer agrees to all policies listed below.


General Information

Performance Machine & Design specializes in high-performance and racing parts. Many products are built, machined, modified, or assembled to order. Due to the nature of performance parts and custom machining work, lead times and product availability may vary.

The best way to contact us is by email or through our Facebook page. Our team spends most of the day machining parts, assembling orders, and operating equipment, so phone support is limited.


Right to Refuse Service

Performance Machine & Design reserves the right to refuse service, cancel orders, issue refunds, or deny future purchases at our discretion.

Orders may be canceled and refunded if customers are repeatedly rude, abusive, threatening, fraudulent, unprofessional, or otherwise difficult to work with.

Orders placed by customers previously refused service may be canceled and refunded without notice.
