What the estimate describes
Review the proposed parts, labor, refinishing and any outside services. Ask which damaged areas are included and which findings remain unresolved.
Inspection and disassembly
Confirm the estimate process and any inspection or disassembly charge before the visit. Do not assume a photo review establishes the final repair scope.
When the scope changes
Ask for the reason for added work and the revised cost and timing. Confirm authorization and any insurer coverage decision before additional work proceeds.
Questions about payment
Establish payment arrangements, any applicable deposit and what will be due at collection. Current pricing comes from the shop's estimate for your vehicle.
