All work is carried out at the customer's chosen location unless otherwise agreed.

The customer is responsible for ensuring the vehicle is in a safe, legal, and accessible location.

We reserve the right to refuse or stop work if conditions are unsafe, impractical, or present risk.

Diagnosis is a process of testing and elimination and does not guarantee fault identification within a fixed time.

Multiple faults may require additional diagnostic time.
