Before work begins on your vehicle you will be asked if you
want an estimate. If you do not want a written estimate, you
must sign an “Estimate Waiver”.
Otherwise you will be given an estimate based on a comprehensive overview of
your vehicle. The estimate must be signed and returned before any work on your
vehicle begins. In addition a deposit may be required depending on the size
of the job. If your repair estimate is more than 10 hours of labor, a deposit
covering all parts and half the labor must be prepaid. Our estimates are written
based on our 15 years experience of working on vintage (defined as anything
10 yrs or older) vehicles. However, do to the age of the vehicle, other problems
(such as rust or rot for example) may add additional time or parts cost to
your estimate.
For this reason, we ask that once work begins on your vehicle you remain in
contact with us so we can alert you to any additional costs. We will provide
you a time frame for your work to be completed (subject to part availability).
In order to stay within our time frame and keep our shop running efficiently,
we ask that you provide us with as many contact phone numbers as possible (email
also works well) and that you return any phone calls to us as soon as possible,
preferably within 2 hours.
If for any reason you do not remain in contact with us, your repair work may
be halted, returned to the end of our priority list and your vehicle will be
subject to a storage fee after 2 weeks.
