Ask what the first charge buys

A repair estimate and a diagnosis are not always the same service. An estimate may price work after the fault is known. Diagnosis is the time and testing needed to find the fault.

What will you test?Ask which scan, inspection or measurement is included in the first charge. Does the fee apply to the repair?Some businesses apply a diagnostic charge when the repair is approved; others keep it separate. When will I get a firm total?A major repair may need more testing before parts and labor can be priced.
