The availability, scope, price, and completion time of each service may vary depending on the vehicle, damage, parts, insurance approval, and other circumstances.

3. Estimates and Damage Assessments

Estimates are based on the visible damage and information available when the vehicle or submitted photographs are reviewed.
Additional damage may be discovered after the vehicle is disassembled or inspected more thoroughly. If additional work is required, we will seek authorization before performing repairs that exceed the approved estimate, as required by applicable law.
Photo estimates are preliminary and may change after an in-person inspection.
An estimate does not create an obligation to begin repairs unless the work is authorized by the customer or an authorized representative.

4. Repair Authorization

No repair work will begin without customer authorization.
Authorization may be provided in writing, electronically, verbally, or by telephone where permitted. By authorizing repairs, you confirm that:
You are the vehicle’s owner or authorized representative.
You approve the listed repairs, parts, and charges.
You authorize reasonable vehicle operation when required for inspection, calibration, testing, or quality control.
You will pay amounts not covered by an insurer or responsible third party.
If additional damage is discovered, we will contact you or the authorized insurance representative before completing additional chargeable work.

5. Insurance Claims

We may help communicate with your insurance company and provide repair documentation, photographs, estimates, supplements, and invoices.
However:
We are not an insurance company or insurance adjuster.
We cannot guarantee that an insurer will approve or pay a claim.
Insurance coverage decisions remain the insurer’s responsibility.
You remain responsible for deductibles, exclusions, depreciation, betterment charges, and other unpaid balances.
Claim delays may affect the repair schedule and completion date.
Authorization from an insurance company does not replace the vehicle owner’s responsibility for charges not paid by the insurer.

6. Parts and Materials

Depending on availability, repair requirements, customer approval, and insurance coverage, repairs may use:
Original equipment manufacturer parts
Aftermarket parts
Recycled or reconditioned parts
Used parts
New replacement parts
The type of parts used will be identified in the estimate or repair documentation where required.
Customers requesting the return of replaced parts must make that request before repairs begin. Certain warranty, core-exchange, hazardous, or insurer owned parts may not be returnable.

7. Payments and Charges

Payment is due when repairs are completed and before the vehicle is released, unless another written arrangement has been approved.
The customer is responsible for:
Insurance deductibles
Non-covered repairs
Betterment or depreciation charges
Approved additional work
Towing and storage charges when applicable
Taxes, fees, and other authorized costs
We may accept payment methods displayed at our location or communicated during the repair process.
Returned payments, disputed transactions, or unpaid balances may result in additional charges or lawful collection activity.

8. Towing, Pickup and Delivery

Towing, pickup, and delivery services are subject to location, availability, vehicle condition, road access, weather, and safety requirements.
“Free” towing, pickup, or delivery offers may be limited by:
Service area
Distance
Repair authorization
Insurance coverage
Vehicle condition
Promotional terms
Any applicable conditions or charges will be communicated before the service is provided whenever reasonably possible.
Vehicle pickup and delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed.

9. Storage and Unclaimed Vehicles

Customers must collect their vehicles promptly after receiving notice that repairs are complete or that the vehicle is ready for release.
Storage charges may apply when a vehicle remains at our facility beyond the communicated pickup period, subject to applicable law and any written agreement.
Vehicles with unpaid balances or vehicles that remain unclaimed may be handled according to applicable New York laws, including lawful lien procedures.

10. Repair Completion Times

Repair dates and completion times are estimates only.
Delays may result from:
Parts availability
Insurance authorization
Additional hidden damage
Manufacturer procedures
Required calibrations or inspections
Weather or transportation issues
Circumstances outside our reasonable control
We will make reasonable efforts to provide updates, but we do not guarantee a specific completion date unless agreed in writing.

11. Warranties

Any warranty applying to repairs, workmanship, parts, paint, wraps, tint, or other services will be stated separately in writing.
Warranty coverage may be limited by time, mileage, service type, part manufacturer, or other written conditions.
Warranty coverage may not apply to:
New accident damage
Misuse, neglect, or improper maintenance
Normal wear and tear
Rust, corrosion, or pre-existing damage
Repairs or alterations performed by another business
Damage caused by environmental or external conditions
Customer-supplied parts or materials
Items expressly excluded in written warranty documents
Because there is no universal standard warranty for auto repairs, customers should rely on the specific written warranty supplied with their repair documentation. FTC warranty guidance
