This certificate assures the repairs to which you and Automotive Collision Specialists have agreed on Repair Order No. (job number goes here) have been completed. We guarantee the work performed at Automotive Collision Specialists so long as said vehicle shall remain under the present ownership. Items on the repair order, such as Sublet Work or Sublet Labor, are subject to the guarantee of those suppliers. This warranty shall only apply if the defects occurred under normal driving conditions and not where any vehicle has been subjected to accidents, negligence, abuse or misuse. Specifically excluded from this written warranty are rust coming through the metal, scratches and gravel marks acquired from driving conditions. This is a fragmented, four part Written Warranty, and specific additional stipulations pertaining to each fragmented part are stated hereafter.

1.

The Shop will, at its sole option, repair and re-paint any metalwork warranted hereby.
2. Painting, stripes and decals: Automotive Collision Specialists provides a Lifetime Written Warranty on painting-related priming and painting work against solvent blistering, peeling, hazing and excessive loss of pigmentation; and a Two (2) Year Written Warranty on the application and adhesion of decorative stripes and decals, excluding defects which are caused by extreme environmental conditions to which the vehicle may be exposed. The Shop will, at its sole option, re-prime, re-paint, re-stripe or re-decal the specific section or sections of the vehicle warranted hereby. Paint Warranty is valid only when paint is applied over original factory finishes that are free of defect.
3.

4. Parts: Automotive Collision Specialists guarantees that parts or materials used are of the first quality. Those parts or materials are subject to the guarantee of that supplier. We will assist you in handling any claim under the supplier’s guarantee. We guarantee that used parts or other than original equipment manufactured parts were not used without authorization from you as noted on the Repair Order.

Specifically excluded are incidental costs, such as towing fees, car rental charges, travel expenses or assemblies and components which are not specifically covered by this Written Warranty, nor are consequential damages such as damage to other assemblies and components resulting from a defective part or installation of such part installed or repaired during the repair included in this Written Warranty.

This Written Warranty shall not be varied, supplemented, qualified or interpreted by any prior course of dealings.
