WORK AUTHORIZATION

Repair Authorization

I hereby authorize the required repair work to be completed to my vehicle along with the necessary materials. I hereby grant New Beginnings Collision Center and its employees permission to operate the vehicle herein described on street, highway, or elsewhere for the purpose of testing and inspection. An express mechanic’s lien is hereby acknowledged on the vehicle should the need occur, to secure the amount of the remaining balance due.

I understand that New Beginnings Collision Center will perform scan code diagnostics as recommended or required by the vehicle manufacturer to identify diagnostic codes in the vehicle computer systems.

I understand that all New Beginnings Collision Center estimates and final invoices are based on flat rate hours as is customary in the Collision Repair industry, not actual time spent on repairs. I understand that a flat rate hour is a unit of time given for a certain repair operation and that actual time spent on a repair operation can vary greatly from the flat rate time given to a labor procedure depending on technician experience and equipment provided and/or training.

I understand that New Beginnings Collision Center is not responsible for loss or damage to vehicles and/or articles left in vehicles in case of fire, theft, or any cause beyond our control. Please remove any personal articles from your vehicle.

I understand if there is any suspension damage to the vehicle, it will need to be repaired to perform the post scans and all sensor calibrations. These calibrations will also require a full tank of gas to be run properly. If the suspension damage is not connected to the accident and insurance will not cover the repair, then I am responsible for covering the cost of the suspension and alignment repair. I further understand that New Beginnings Collision Center can not release the vehicle back to me without these final calibrations and repairs being completed due to safety regulations.

I understand that New Beginnings Collision Center is not responsible for any rental fees incurred in the respect to timeliness of the repairs because of the limitations of rental coverage on insurance policies, as we cannot guarantee a completion date due to unforeseen circumstances (parts availability, supplemental damage, mechanical repairs, insurance company delays, etc.).

I understand that storage charges will accrue 3 days after notification of the completion of repairs. New Beginnings Collision Center will charge a daily storage fee of $75. Further, I understand that my vehicle may be deemed abandoned if I fail to retrieve the vehicle within 30 days of the completion of the repair.

I authorize my insurance company to pay New Beginnings Collision Center directly for all repairs, including supplemental payments. I hereby appoint New Beginnings Collision Center as a true and lawful attorney-in-fact to endorse, on my behalf, any insurance check received as payment for repairs performed on vehicle.

This repair authorization is the entire agreement between you and New Beginnings Collision Center. This authorization replaces all earlier oral and written discussions, agreements and understandings between the parties to this authorization. Any changes or waivers to this authorization or its terms and condition are only valid if they are in writing and signed by both you and an authorized manager of New Beginnings Collision Center.

The forms of payment New Beginnings Collision Center accepts are Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, debit cards, cashier’s checks, properly endorsed insurance checks, and cash. All credit card transactions are subject to a 3% surcharge. There is no surcharge for debit cards.
