Price Match Guarantee

PartSource states a Price Match Guarantee under which it will match any local competitor's regular or advertised in-store Canadian retail price on an identical in-stock item at checkout or within thirty days of purchase at a PartSource store. The policy applies only to competitor brick-and-mortar retail locations within a radius of 20 km from where the price match is requested within Canada. It excludes items subject to typographical or advertising errors, offers requiring the purchase of more than one item, free offers with an additional purchase, credit or financing programme offers, prices available only with a proprietary form of payment, loyalty programme prices, clearance sales after purchase, special sales events such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday, bankruptcy, clearance or liquidation sales, used, damaged, refurbished, returned, open-box or display merchandise, wholesale distributors, sales not available to the general public, scratch-and-save discounts, mail-in rebates, volume discounts beyond average consumer end use, gift card promotions, 'Spend and Get' sales, coupons or credits from third parties not providing the product or service, emergency automotive parts sourced from third parties, online-only retailers based outside Canada, and brick-and-mortar locations outside Canada. The item must be identical, including product features, applicable warranty, manufacturer, model number and size or volume. The store determines whether an item is identical or from a local competitor, and the guarantee may be modified or withdrawn at any time without notice.

Promotions and additional conditions

The site states that regular prices shown are PartSource's regular prices at which the products will be offered by PartSource as of July 2025, and that regular prices in the flyer are suggested regular prices. Market conditions may cause prices to change without notice. Certain items may be subject to additional fees, including environmental handling or disposal fees, which may vary by province. For promotional items such as hot buys, special buys, clearance and seasonal items and bonus-with-purchase items, the company advises shopping early, as no rainchecks or substitutes will be given. PartSource reserves the right to limit quantities, to correct typographical, illustrative or pricing errors, and, unless otherwise indicated, to offer substitute equivalent products where advertised products are unavailable or in the event of advertising errors.

A bonus wiper blade installation and windshield washer fluid top-up is offered only with the purchase of a pair of new wiper blades at PartSource. Installation applies only to standard wiper blade installations compatible with the vehicle, and does not apply to oversized vehicles or vehicles requiring specialty installation. Windshield washer fluid may vary by store and is provided up to a maximum of 3.78 L per vehicle, subject to availability of store staff.
