REPAIR AUTHORIZATION
I hereby authorize Rusty Drewing Collision (RDC) to disassemble my vehicle as necessary for inspection and estimating purposes. I authorize RDC to perform and complete the estimated repair work on my vehicle. I acknowledge that RDC will input my basic personal information and my vehicle's VIN number into CCC One estimating software for the purpose of estimating parts, labor, and materials. Additionally, RDC may enter this information into other third-party software or websites for estimating, parts ordering, insurance supplements, researching OEM procedures, diagnostics, and scanning.
I authorize RDC to scan my vehicle as necessary to check for fault codes as part of the diagnostic and repair process. I grant employees of RDC permission to operate my vehicle for test drives and inspection purposes. I also authorize RDC to negotiate on my behalf with the responsible insurance company for the cost of repairs to my vehicle.
I understand that the cost of repairs may increase if additional damage is discovered after disassembly. RDC cannot guarantee an exact completion date due to various factors such as parts availability, weather delays, insurance processing, and unforeseen hidden damage. All projected completion dates are subject to change. RDC is not responsible for rental vehicle costs while my vehicle is being repaired.
LIMITED POWER OF ATTORNEY
PARTS POLICY
RDC will order necessary parts to repair my vehicle, and I accept financial responsibility for those parts should I cancel my repair appointment. Restocking fees may apply, and a deposit may be required for special-order parts.
Old parts removed from my vehicle will be discarded unless I provide written notice requesting otherwise. If I choose to keep my old parts, a core charge may apply.
RDC recommends using new OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts unless unavailable due to backorders or special circumstances. If aftermarket or used parts are required, I acknowledge that my insurance company may only authorize and cover the cost of such parts. If I prefer OEM parts instead of insurance-authorized aftermarket parts, I agree to pay the difference in cost.
MECHANIC'S LIEN
PERSONAL ITEMS & VEHICLE DAMAGE
I understand that RDC is not responsible for loss or damage to my vehicle due to fire, theft, weather, or causes beyond their control. I acknowledge that sublet work may be performed by outside vendors as necessary.
TOTAL LOSS POLICY
PAYMENT POLICY
Payment in full is required before my vehicle is released. Any insurance deductible must be paid at the time of pickup. If RDC and my insurance company do not agree on the repair cost, or if my insurance company does not cover all costs (including labor rates, part price differences, or betterments), I acknowledge that I am responsible for any unpaid charges. It is my responsibility to seek reimbursement from my insurance provider.
Accepted Payment Methods:
Credit card fees apply to transactions over $3,000.
