ESTIMATES

An estimate is our considered approximation of the likely cost of the work and/or goods, and is valid for 14 days from when we send it to you.
Any estimate is based on the published recommended retail price for the goods involved at the time of the estimate. If the manufacturer or other supplier of the goods changes the published recommended retail price after the date of the estimate, we will notify you of any consequent increase in the estimate. If the increase will be more than ten per cent (10%) of the total estimate, you may give notice in writing within 14 days cancelling your order. If we do not receive notice of cancellation within this period, the estimate will be amended as proposed.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if it appears during progress of the work that the estimate will be exceeded by more than ten per cent (10%), we will notify you and will not continue with the work unless you expressly authorise us to do so.
If you have left the vehicle with us for an estimate but have not accepted the estimate, or have failed to collect the vehicle, within 14 days of the date of the estimate or (if earlier) the date of cancellation, we may charge you, at our published rates in force at that item, for the storage of the vehicle from the end of that period.
