Your authorization form

This is a starting template, not legal advice. Repair and contract rules are different in every state. Have a lawyer in your state look it over before you rely on it. Some states require specific wording on estimates and authorizations.

How this works

What an authorization form does

It is the customer saying, in writing, "yes, do this work at this price, and here are the rules." When a customer disputes a bill, a signed authorization is the first thing you will wish you had.

Terms worth having

Approval before extra work, your diagnostic fee, when payment is due, storage fees for cars left too long, no warranty on parts the customer brought, and what your own warranty covers. Only turn on the ones you will really enforce.

Two ways to use it

Print the authorization form with blanks for the customer and vehicle and have them sign it on site. Or copy the terms as plain text and paste them on your website, estimates and invoices.

Common questions

Do I need written authorization before a repair?

Some states require it and every tech should want it. A signature before the work is the simplest protection against "I never approved that."

Can I use the same terms on my estimates and invoices?

Yes. Copy the terms as text and paste them wherever your customers see a price. Showing the terms before the job is what makes them hold up.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is a starting template in plain English. Laws differ by state, so have a lawyer in your state review it.
