Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a written service agreement for repair work?

A written agreement protects you by clearly defining the work to be done, the cost, and the timeline. It also limits your liability and helps resolve disputes if the client is unhappy.

Can I include a warranty disclaimer in my service agreement?

Yes, you can limit your warranty to specific terms, such as 90 days on labor, and disclaim warranties for parts that are covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Be careful to comply with state laws regarding implied warranties.

What should I do if the client asks for additional work not in the agreement?

Your agreement should require written approval for any changes or extra work. This prevents disputes over unexpected costs and ensures you get paid for all work performed.
