If you are on a budget, you must inform us at the start in writing. We do not want to complete extensive work on your car only for you to turn around and say, "I only have X amount to spend."
Be clear about your spending limits. If you need to cap the number of hours we work, this must be agreed upon before we start. If you do not set a limit, we will work based on what is required to complete the job properly.
Example scenarios:
- You bring in an Aston Martin, and after inspection, it needs a new engine or a full carburetor rebuild. We do not want to reach the end of the job only for you to claim you cannot afford the work or did not authorize it.
- You bring in a modified car for tuning, but it needs additional repairs to make it safe. If there is a limit to what you want to spend, we need to know before we begin, not after the work is completed.
Aborting a job part way through is not an issue. However, every hour worked up to that point and any parts fitted must be paid for before the vehicle is released. If you decide to stop the work, that is entirely your choice, but all completed labor and any installed parts remain chargeable.
Clear authorization is key. If you authorize work, you are committing to pay for it. If you want a spending cap, tell us before we start, not after we’ve done the work.
If you are upfront and realistic about your budget, we can work with you to find the best solution within your limits.
