CUSTOMER’S ACCOUNT
If Customer would like to purchase Services from Company, He must first contact with Us via our Website (we call this Your “Quote message”).
When contacting us, Customer must provide Us with true, accurate, and complete data about Him and His car and keep this information up to date, otherwise we might not be able to process His “Quote message”.
ORDERING SERVICES FROM COMPANY
Customer can make a request or order to purchase Services from Company by “Book our Services” providing Company with all of the necessary information that we need to confirm His order (Customers “Booking”).
After we send him the invoice Customer can pay for Booking by using credit or debit cards or bank transfer or any other methods as indicated on the Website from time to time, and will have to write Us His preferred payment method when He submits His Booking to Company.
Customer confirms to Us that the payment card or bank account He use is His or that He has been specifically authorised to use it to purchase His Booking.
Once Customer placed a Booking, we’ll send Him an email to acknowledge that we’ve received it and are reviewing it but this doesn’t mean that we’ve accepted Customers Booking just yet. Customers Booking won’t be approved and a contract of sale won’t be formed between Us until we have reviewed His Booking, verified Customers payment method and provided Him with confirmation of His Booking by email (let’s refer to an accepted Booking as our “Contract”).
If we are unable to accept Customers Booking, perhaps because the Services He has requested aren’t available or because His payment method was unsuccessfully verified, we will let Him know by email and obviously won’t charge Him. However, we have to reserve the right to reject Bookings in our sole discretion.
SERVICES PRICING
All Services that Company displayed on the Website are priced in Pounds Sterling, inclusive of VAT, unless expressly stated otherwise but are subject to availability.
Company does our best to make sure that Services and pricing information are current and complete but won’t be liable for inaccurate or out of date information. It’s possible that, despite our best efforts we may get Services prices wrong from time to time; if we do, we will contact Customer for instructions before we accept His Booking and process His payment.
Company may update our Services prices and charges from time to time, but these changes won’t affect any existing Contracts.
All quotations are valid for 30 days from the date of issue, unless they include a specific promotional offer which has an earlier expiry date.
PROVISION OF THE SERVICES
Company will try wherever possible to collect Customer’s car at the time and collection address as specified in the Booking confirmation, unless otherwise agreed with Customer in writing (“Pick Up Point”).
The estimated completion date for the Services is as wrote in His Booking confirmation unless changes to His Booking are necessary (please see Clause 8 below). Customer check the status of His Booking by contact Us using the details in Clause 1.3.
If Customer’s car is considered to be roadworthy, we will try wherever possible to provide a driver to deliver His car back to Him at the time and delivery address as specified in the Booking confirmation, unless otherwise agreed with Customer in writing (“Drop Off Point”). However, if a defect is discovered by our Services which means His car is not safe to drive, He will need to arrange for collection. We can provide a recovery truck service to deliver His car to a point of your choosing but this cost will need to be agreed by Customer and payment made in advance, as agreed between us.
We will remind Customer either via the Email and/or by sending Him a text message to his given phone number 2 hours before we pick up and drop off your car.
If Customer is not at the Pick Up Point, and if we are unable to contact Him after repeated attempts we will cancel His Booking. If He is not at the Drop Off Point and if we are unable to contact Him after repeated attempts, we may have to arrange storage of His car at a local garage or other storage facilities. If this happens, we will let Him know and charge Him for the associated storage costs and the delivery costs incurred with re-delivering His car to Him.
Upon collection and delivery of Customer’s car, He will be asked to sign a receipt from one of our appointed drivers, and He may also be asked to provide identification documents (photo driving licence or passport) so we can be sure about Customer’s identity.
Any parts fitted to Customers car will come with a manufacturer’s warranty, which apply from the date of the Contract. Customer must ensure He retain a record of His Contract and any information we supply to Him relating to guarantees for parts supplied.
We can’t be responsible for delays outside of our control but if we let Customer know that there’s a substantial risk of delays to the provision of the Services and if He can’t wait for His Services, He can contact us to cancel His Contract and ask for a refund of any Services not performed or provided.
CHANGES TO CUSTOMER’S BOOKING
If Customer wish to make a change to His Booking please contact Us. We will let Him know if the change is possible. If it is possible we will let Him know about any changes to the price of His Booking, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of His requested change and ask Him to confirm whether He wish to go ahead with the change. If we cannot make the change or the consequences of making the change are unacceptable to Customer, He may want to end the Contract (please see Clause 9 for more information).
We may need to change Customer’s Booking:
if the information He has provided to Us in the Booking is not correct or incomplete;
if we are no longer available to fulfil His Booking;
to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
where further essential work to His car has been identified upon inspection or commencement of the Services;
but in any event, we will notify Customer and obtain His approval before any changes (including the price) to His Booking are made. If He is unhappy with these changes, He may then contact Us to end the Contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any Services not provided.
CHANGING MIND ABOUT BOOKING
Customer has the right to cancel His Booking and receive a full refund for any reason from the date He place His Booking until the expiry of 14 days from the day the Contract was made (i.e the day that He received an email from Us accepting His Booking). However, once we have started the Services (usually one day before the Pick Up day, when we have assigned the garage and driver) He cannot change His mind, even if the 14 day period is still running. If He cancel after we have started (but not yet completed) the Services, He must pay Us for the Services provided up until the time He tell Us that He has changed His mind.
If Customer would like to cancel His Booking, He can let Us know by contacting us using the details set out in Clause 1.3 above.
If Customer cancel His Booking and He is due a refund we will refund Him by the method He used to pay for the Services, as soon as possible and this will be no later than 14 days’ from the date He tell Us that He is cancelling His Booking.
PROBLEMS WITH THE SERVICES
We are under a legal duty to supply Customer with Services that confirm with our Contract and which are carried out with reasonable care and skill, and the parts we use to fulfil those Services must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. Customers right to cancel set out in Clause 9 above does not affect His legal rights as a consumer in relation to Services. For more information please see https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/.
If Customer has any questions or complaints about the Services received, if items are faulty or the Services provided are not what He ordered, must contact Us immediately using the details set out above with His details and a description of the problem. If the Services or items are found to be faulty by reason of our default or negligence and shown to be such to our satisfaction, We will, at our option, repair or replace the defective items or refund the price of the defective services or items in full if: (i) Customer must give us notice in writing as soon as possible on discovering the defect; and (ii) We are given a reasonable opportunity to examine His car. We will not be liable for any defect in the Services or the items He has received if: (i) He fail to notify us of the defect; (ii) He fail to afford us the opportunity to rectify the problem; (iii) He subject the car to misuse, negligence or accident or use the car for racing, rallying or similar sports; or (iv) He alter or repair the car without our written consent.
Without affecting His general rights as a consumer, if the Services were provided in accordance with the Contract and with reasonable skill and care, and the parts fitted were correct, not faulty or defective then we will generally be unable to provide any refund for Services provided or an exchange on parts fitted to Customer’s car.
We may need to cancel Customer’s Contract in the event that He did not provide Us with accurate or complete information, including His personal information, details about His car or other Booking information, or if He otherwise break our Contract. We will first contact Him to try and obtain or correct the information in question or resolve the problem, however if we are unable to contact Him after a number of attempts or otherwise unable to resolve the problem, we may cancel His Contract and make a refund to Him for any Services not provided.
