Industry Tips
Certain states have regulations that mandate how automotive repair dealers must act, what they must disclose when you bring your car in for an estimate of repairs, and what they may not do. Knowing what these are can take some of the uncertainty out of the repair transaction. It's also important, though, to do what you can to make your car last longer before repairs are necessary.
For Colorado residents, the Motor Vehicle Repair Act generally requires repair garages to obtain written consent to any repair before work is performed. A repair garage must also provide an oral or written estimate of all costs associated with a particular repair. A repair garage cannot charge more than 10% over the estimate it gives for labor or parts, or $25 dollars, whichever is less, without the consent of the consumer. Additionally, consumers may have private remedies available to them under the Motor Vehicle Repair Act.
