Walk It Through: The Repair Shop Bill
A written estimate on request, no charge beyond it without consent, and a look at the replaced parts.
A driver drops off a car with a grinding noise, and the shop says it will call with a price.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One repair and one shop. Warranty disputes, insurance claims, and a shop's lien for an unpaid repair bill are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
