Many areas are checked for proper operation; instrument panel gauges, stereo operation, power windows, and locks, as well as all lights, to name just a few.

Upon collection of the vehicle, the client will sign a Clearance Certificate and pay the applicable excess fee, or total amount if the work was done on their own account.
Every customer is called approximately one week after they pick up their vehicle to make sure that they are happy with not only the repair work, but the entire repair process.
