Parts

Off-course you can place any order over the phone, WhatsApp or e-mail. However, if the order consists of a special-order part, this will need to be prepaid upfront. In such a case you can also make a payment transferred and once confirmed you will be notified.

Returning an item depends on the type of item. The purchased invoice must go with all claims and returned goods. Please note that there are no returns on electric or special-order parts. No return after 3 days.

In the case of a refund, depending on the amount of the refund this can be done right away. Otherwise, a bank transfer will be made, or store credit can be granted to your account if you like.

When it comes to ordering the correct part for your vehicle, it is always one of our requirements to search this by using the correct VIN #. This will ensure that the parts is the correct ones for your vehicle specs in case of multiple models with different specs in the market.

For parts that are not in stock, we have several methods for ordering this. One method takes longer than the other. We order our stock orders every week, by weekly or monthly, depending on the manufacturer. These are shipments that arrive by boat and have the longest lead time.

Every manufacturer also has an emergency ordering system and a VOR (Vehicle Of Road) ordering method. Depending on the size and amounts of parts needed we could use one of these methods.

We also have contact with dealers in the US and could have these items shipped quicker if required. Lead times differ from source but here are some of our latest updated average lead times if there are no delays with parts, shipping or customs.

 

Brand : Ford US 
Emergency : 27
VOR : 11

Brand : Ford Europe 
Emergency : 31
VOR : 12

Brand : Mitsubishi  
Emergency : 43
VOR : 34

Brand : Mercedes-Benz
Emergency : 28
VOR : 17

Brand : Other sources

In the case of such an event, all claims and returns must be accompanied by an invoice and within 3 days of the physical parts hand over date. After inspection, a replacement part will be supplied for you at no extra charge.

Yes, we do. Yrausquin Motors leases to companies registered in the Aruba Chamber of Commerce.

We do lease agreements between 3 to 5 years depending on the brand. The process starts by requesting a quotation. Once you agree with the price, the Lease Department will request from you a copy of the Aruba Chamber of Commerce, a copy of the ID of the person authorized to sign and who is registered on the Aruba Chamber of Commerce, Audited Financials, and a Reference letter from the Bank.

The monthly payments depend on many factors, such as down payment, trade-in, campaigns, bank interest rates, value price of the chosen vehicle and how many years you want to have this financed by your bank.

The vehicle insurance, same as the previous question regarding the monthly payment depends on the vehicle, type of coverage and how many deductibles you have. In such events, we can contact or refer you to your Insurance Company to get a quote.

During a service appointment, our Service Technician’s will replace the oil and oil filter and perform a Multipoint Inspection (MPI) on your vehicle. This MPI starts with a test drive then we perform all inspections necessary to know if there will be any other items needed and complete our MPI report. Then we continue with the replacement of the Oil and Oil Filter, clear the AC drain, Rotate the tires, if possible, suspension and steering is lubricated where possible, top off all fluids if needed and possible. All done by our factory trained technicians.

  • If your vehicle is drivable, we will order your part the normal way, which will take about an estimated time of 4 weeks.

The cost of diagnostic is determined by the type of diagnostic needed. The most common is the electrical diagnostic that includes a malfunction light on or check engine light. To check the check engine light, we need to hook up a diagnostic tool on your vehicle and perform a quick test. The quick test starts at Awg. 79,50.  The quick test provides us with information that we will need to perform a pinpoint test. A pinpoint test cost starts at Awg. 36,60 depending on how many codes there are and how extensive the diagnostics are. So, the starting price of a diagnosis is Awg. 116.10. Once these tests are done, we will be able to provide an estimate of the parts needed and/or repairs needed to repair your vehicle.
