A few things first
Ask any question you have before the work starts. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
Keeping it that way
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Timing
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
Pricing, plainly
A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
