By agreeing to the work to be completed as shown on the Quotation you are agreeing to these terms and conditions.
Definitions:
We, Us refers to the company Car Body Repairs Ltd trading as Dent Removal.
You, refers to the client.
Estimate, refers to the verbal estimate.
Quote and Quotation refers to the written quotation which may be associated with an estimate, booking or repair location:
We may provide You with a verbal estimate before vehicle damage has been visually assessed and this will be made on a worst case scenario, where upon receipt of images, a formal fixed price quotation will be issued via email to the client.
The Quote prepared by Us is an offer to repair the dent damage presented on your images at the price stated. The customers agreement, however stated, to proceed with repairs constitutes acceptance of that offer and forms a binding legal contract incorporating these Terms of Business.
If for any reason, including but not limited to variables such as vehicle availability, We are unable to carry out the repair process at the specified time or location indicated on the Quote, any and all liability incurred by Us as a result shall be discharged if we make an offer to conduct the repair at the Quotation price on an alternative time or location convenient to both parties, whether or not such time date and location is identified or such offer is accepted.
Repairs may be completed at a location agreed with the customer, or at a location nominated by us. We have absolute discretion to decide on the location for the repair. This decision may be changed, including on the date of the booked repair..
We require a repair location where the customers vehicle can be easily accessed and the dent removal process is typically completed on average with 2 hours on a SAME DAY basis, however, we reserve the right to return on another day, usually the following day, if necessary to complete the repair. Quotations are typically only valid for 7 days, however a fixed priced quotation may be reopened upon our discretion.
Repairs:
We undertake to carry out the repairs indicated on the Quotation. If we decide that a particular class of dent may not be removable to our normal standards, we shall notify you in advance.
We understand that this can sometimes lead to disappointment, however We would rather only complete a repair if we are 100% sure we can get your vehicle back to pre damage state, unless You advise us that you still wish to proceed with the repair, knowing the finish will not be 100%
We reserve the right to decline to proceed with any process that would require further work to be completed outside the scope of the original schedule of repair work. In these circumstances the full Quotation price remains payable by the customer. Further work that does not increase the Quotation price may be proceeded with without the requirement for customer authorisation.
We aim to repair the damaged vehicle back to pre damage standard and we discharge our obligations under any repair agreement by providing a high quality, hand-completed dent removal. In normal circumstances, such a repair is very unlikely to be detected by a casual examination of the vehicle by an untrained observer unaware of the previous damage location.
It is the absolute responsibility of the customer to advise Us by way of images or video, any vehicle damage they wish us to assess for the purposes of providing a fixed price quotation.
It is also the absolute responsibility of the customer to advise Us, of any non-original parts on the vehicle that would hinder a repair. In case of incompatibility with a non-original part (whether or not notified by the customer), We have the right to void this contract in these circumstances, We will not be obliged to complete or rectify any repair and We have the absolute discretion to refuse any liability in relation to the Quotation that You accepted.
