SURCHARGE RATES

At Essex Turbos we believe in keeping things simple which is why you find none of our turbo’s are sold with a complex surcharge acceptance specification system, weighted in accordance with the old units condition. The price of the turbo outlined in this document is the final price you will pay.

We do however, ask that you pay a fully refundable surcharge if you request a unit to be shipped from stock in advance of your old unit being returned to us. Please remember this is a fully refundable deposit upon the old units return to us within three weeks of purchase and is not weighted against condition.
