Repair Process
Vehicle Analysis: In this stage, technicians evaluate the vehicle and create a report listing all necessary
repairs. This report details any damage or outstanding maintenance required, and includes expected
repair costs. This report has been delivered to [Customer.Name], and was used to create the repair
description and cost itemization in this contract.
Additional Damage: During the repair process, additional problems may be uncovered. In the event that
[Company.Name] technicians discover the need for repairs outside of those listed in this contract, work
on the vehicle will cease, and written notification of required repairs will be sent to [Customer.Name].
[Company.Name] will not perform any repairs outside of those listed in this contract without prior
written authorization from [Customer.Name].
Insurer Estimate: In the event that an insurance claim is filed by [Customer.Name] related to the repairs
performed, [Company.Name] will create an insurance estimate for submission to the insurer. This
estimate is intended for internal use by the insurer for purposes of validating the insurance claim and
reserving funds for payment at the conclusion of repair services.
Non-OEM Parts
[Customer.Name] acknowledges that any repairs using parts not made by the vehicle’s manufacturer
(commonly known as “aftermarket parts”) may lead to the following:
Lease or Finance Violation: Some lease and finance contracts require the purchaser or lessee to make
repairs using only original manufacturer parts (“OEM Parts”). Aftermarket parts used in repairs may
violate these contracts.
Decrease in Value: Repairs made using aftermarket parts may lead to increased depreciation and lost
vehicle value.
Manufacturer Warranty: Some vehicle manufacturers require that all repairs be made using only OEM
parts. Use of aftermarket parts may void vehicle warranties.
In recognition of the above risks, [Company.Name] shall not use any parts for repairs unless those parts
are approved for use by [Customer.Name]. It is advised that [Customer.Name] take the above risks into
account when choosing parts for necessary repairs.
While [Customer.Name] has the sole right to choose which parts are used for repairs to the listed

repairs using parts which are deemed inadequate or unsafe.

correct any defects in workmanship related to the repairs performed in relation to this contract. This
