Diagnostic Authorization
Owner authorizes diagnostic testing necessary to identify vehicle issues. Diagnostic fees are non-refundable and due whether or not repairs are approved.
Estimates & Repair Approval
Estimates are based on visible and testable conditions. Diesel vehicles may have hidden or additional failures discovered once work begins. No additional work will be performed without Owner approval. Approval may be given verbally, by SMS, or electronically.
