Questions to ask before you say yes
- Is the quote based on my car's logbook, and can I have it in writing?
- What's included, how long will it take, and what's parts and what's labour?
- Will you call me before doing anything beyond the quote?
- Is your business an AIS station, if the pink slip is due as well?
- What's your NSW repairer licence number?
Why those questions
RACV's advice is to ask whether the quote follows your logbook, get a written estimate covering the work, the time and the parts and labour, and make sure you're contacted before anything extra starts. In NSW, a repairer must only do work you've authorised, and a price agreed before the job starts is generally binding.
Every repair business in the state needs a motor vehicle repairer licence, and you can check one on the public register. Car service in Sydney explains what each service should cover.
Where we'd start
We'd ask all five before handing over the keys and keep the written quote. A good mechanic answers them in a couple of minutes, and the answers tell you a lot about how the job will go.
