2. PARTS, SERVICE, MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS

 

AUTHORIZATION TO WORK

Any vehicles delivered to Western for the purpose of repair will be repaired in a good, quality manner. Western assumes that any driver bringing in any vehicle or trailer has the authorization to request the needed repairs unless instructed otherwise in writing by the owner. The owner agrees that faxed and/or emailed authorizations have the same binding effect as if they were signed original authorizations. The owner further agrees that receiving an authorization to use the owner’s credit card will be deemed as authorization to provide the necessary parts and labor. Western may operate the equipment for purposes of testing, inspection, or delivery at owner’s risk

 

BIDS

Bids are only valid for the item bid upon and do not include any extra work, modifications, or add-ons. The bid represents only an estimate of the price of the bid repair and is not to be taken as warrant of future performance. Bids are subject to part availability and pricing, and may be increased at any time due to increase price of parts or labor. Bids are subject to the conditions implied in the bid and are based on the most economical means of repair. Western reserves the right to revise its bid at any time, including if the most economical means of repair becomes unavailable or the assumption upon which the bid was made changes.

 

CHARGES

Western will perform all necessary repairs and maintenance on the owner’s vehicle(s), and the owner will pay Western for labor and parts at the current flat rate for such parts and services. The charge for parts and services may not be the actual cost Western pays for the parts or services. Western retains the right to raise its flat rate for service and parts from time to time as business necessity demands without notice. The customer agrees to pay Western for tear-down, inspection and reassembly even if no repairs are made.

 

COST OF SUPPLIES

A token charge equivalent to 10% of the labor charge (17% for welding & fabrication) will be added to the invoice to cover the cost of supplies used during the repair of equipment.  If goods or services are shipped to the customer and the paperwork is not formally signed, the customer agrees and understands that acceptance of the goods and/or services obligates them to the billing terms as though either they themselves, or their agent, signed acceptance for the bill.

 

DELAYS

Western Service Center, LLC, its affiliates, and its employees are not responsible for any delays caused by unavailability of parts or delays in parts shipment or for loss or damage to the vehicle or any articles left in the vehicle in case of fire, theft or any other cause beyond Western’s control. The customer will pay Western for tear-down, inspection, and reassembly even if repairs are not made. The Customer agrees to promptly pay all outstanding invoices related to repairs to Western. All invoices not paid in full within seven (7) days after all repair work has been completed will be charged interest at the rate of 2% per month.   

 

RISK OF LOSS OR DAMAGE

The customer should not leave valuables or goods in the vehicle, truck or trailer, and assumes all risk for loss, theft, confiscation, destruction, spoilage, vandalism, etc. Western is not responsible for any items left in the vehicle, truck or trailer, or for damage due to confiscation, inspection, accident, vandalism or normal wear of the vehicle while being repaired, waiting for repairs, or being stored after repair.
