We are proud of the people who make them. We are proud to be a family run business in the USA.  Our pride, is your assurance, that you will get only our very best with every order we ship.



MAINTENANCE


The Minimizer™ fender itself should never need maintenance other than the occasional wash using any all purpose cleaner.  Paint is not necessary because the polyethylene material used to make the Minimizer™ fender is corrosion resistant.


Make sure that all the bolts attaching the fender to the mounting hardware are snug and not overly tight.  Occasionally check the bolts holding the mounting hardware to the frame to assure  they are securely tightened.


If you bend or break any of the mounting hardware replace them immediately.  This will relieve any stress on the fender.  If you have any questions about your Minimizer™ fenders please do no hesitate to call our customer service people at 800-248-3855.


Again thank you for choosing the Minimizer™ poly fender.

OUR FAMILY'S WARRANTY


Now that the legal guys have had their say, here's what we say:


We’re human, we know that sometimes, “THINGS” happen. With our extensive background in plastic materials and the trucking industry, we understand the physical properties of the materials we use and we know that our plastic just doesn't “break” or “crack” under normal use unless the unforeseeable happens. If so – we have probably done it ourselves, or have tested our material to the utmost extremes and have seen it before. Be sure to check out our videos at www.minimizer.com or www.youtube.com or ask a Minimizer sales rep. for one.


We've engineered our fenders & brackets to last longer than the life of your truck. We’re a family company, we do care about the products we produce on a daily basis.


So there is an inherent respect for you, our customer, who makes their living using the vehicles and equipment our products serve to protect. So don't tell us you were "driving along” when your bracket broke or bent back and your wheel is now rubbing the fender. We are drivers and were founded by a driver, too. We've been around the block a few times. If you dumped your truck into a monster pothole, dropped a trailer, got hit by a reckless vehicle operator or backed over your flap and pulled the fenders off we sympathize with you and will try to help you out, as we've done or seen all those things. We want you to keep running our products. So in the event of unlucky stuff happening, please refer to our Stuff Happens (SH) policy below.


SH POLICY


We will offer to replace the part in question or sell replacement parts at a significant discount to our customers who forget that our products are not at all times “invincible”. We extend this to original owners only. If you bought it at an authorized Minimizer dealer, please see them for details. We will require a digital photo of the damage or the original part back. We promise to make it right for you. We do not want an “Accident” to leave a bad taste in your mouth regarding Minimizer Products. Always remember we have been in the trucking industry for 25 years and have seen it all. Nothing is unexpected with us.
