This is an ESTIMATE based on the customer’s interpretation of what is wrong with their car. It does not include tax, shop supplies or incidental parts that may require replacement with the job. This car has not been tested or diagnosed by any of the ASE Certified Master Technicians at {your shop name} (looking at a car in the parking lot is NOT a test or diagnosis). If the customer wishes to have this problem diagnosed, additional charges will accrue at a rate of $xx.xx per hour for mechanical problems and $xxx.xx per hour for electrical and driveability problems. The above estimate will then be adjusted to reflect what is really wrong with the vehicle at which time the customer can decide whether or not to have the repairs performed. If repairs are declined, customer will be responsible for paying any and all diagnostic charges and for all tests performed.
This is an estimate and should not be considered a fixed
price for all work to be performed as there are some
unknown factors that could reflect a higher cost of some
repair items once the work has started. Also , due to the ‘
rushed ‘ nature of this proposal there may be a higher cost
on materials and other services not available for proper
quotes at such short notice.
