I’m Automotive offers various levels of service and warranties, which may differ as a result of your desire to economize. As all repair services offered are predicated on repairing or painting over existing conditions. Our warranties are limited to the workmanship we perform and the materials we use.
ACCEPTING YOUR REPAIRED VEHICLE
Please take the time to thoroughly inspect your vehicle upon receipt.
With respect to the warranties covering workmanship. I’m Automotive requires you note any dissatisfaction at the time you pick up your completed vehicle. When you accept your completed vehicle in conditions that don’t allow for making an adequate inspection, such as bad weather or inadequate lighting. You may take your car home and bring it back. Preferably the next business day, to note any dissatisfaction with the services we performed. If you cannot return the next business day. You may telephone to make an appointment for a re-inspection, to take place within the next (5) business days. If such arrangements are not made, we will assume the repairs received were satisfactory and only the specific workmanship and material warranties listed below are acceptable.
BODY PANELS AND PARTS
If you have elected to replace a panel rather than have it repaired, two options are available to you. Each carries a different warranty:
An Original Equipment Manufacturer (O.E.M) body panel is one produced by the Original Equipment Manufacturer and purchased through one of their designated agents, i.e. a new car dealership.
The Limited Warranty for an O.E.M. body panel, replaced in its entirety is:
1 year limited warranty on the occurrence of rust.
Limited lifetime warranty on proper fit and alignment provided the adjacent panels are in good condition.
Aftermarket or Used body panels – Ninety (90) day limited warranty on the occurrence of rust.
Mechanical parts – All mechanical parts replaced as a result of accident damage, are warranted for ninety (90) days or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.
PANEL REPAIRS
Panel repairs are warranted against shrinking or cracking for a period of 1 year. We cannot be responsible for the cracking of old body filler on previous repairs. I’m Automotive will not offer a warranty on our paint on any area where a customer did their own body work as noted on the repair order.
STRUCTURAL REPAIRS – LIFETIME
All materials used in the repair of structural panels are warrantied for as long as you own the vehicle. However, if additional or hidden damage that would affect the performance of the vehicle is found during or after the repair. The customer will be responsible for any additional parts or labor required to make these necessary repairs.
This warranty is voided should the vehicle be involved in a subsequent accident, or if structural problem results from the O.E.M. design flaw, or if the vehicle is affected by an “Act of God”, such as in a Flood or Hail Damage.
RUST REPAIR
Some automotive designs cause dirt and moisture to accumulate in areas that promote rust. The inherent design of the car prevents a permanent solution. The re-occurrence of rust on any particular vehicle is not within this or any I’m Automotive’s control. All rust repairs and materials used in repairing rust are warranted for ninety (90) days.
SURFACE REPAIRS
Surface reconditioning will be performed only if requested and is detailed on your repair estimate. All areas that I’m Automotive reconditions are warranted against the occurrence of rust for ninety (90) days.
ANTI-CRACKING
In cases where paint removal (stripping) is necessary to eliminate cracking, peeling, or delamination, I’m Automotive will warrant that the new finish will not crack for period of three (3) years. This warranty is offered only to vehicle owners who elect stripping services and covers only those panels on the vehicle that have been completely stripped to the bare metal. These areas must be noted on your repair order. Old damage of body filler found under stripped areas is excluded from this warranty. Additional charges may apply to repairing old body filler found under existing paint surfaces. Cracking may show through the new paint if stripping to bare metal was necessary yet, was not elected by you the customer.
SPOT/PANEL REFINISHING
Color match can only be warranted to meet the customer’s acceptance upon delivery of the vehicle and payment. With the exception of the five (5) business days inspection period outlined previously. If a customer is advised that the color will not match, and such advice is noted on estimate or Repair Order, we will have predetermined an exact color match is impossible. All the materials used to spot or panel refinish any area of the vehicle, are warranted against loss of gloss for as long as you own the vehicle.
PAINT SERVICES
I’m Automotive’s warranty covers all I’m Automotive Paint Services. Each warranty varies depending on the chemical makeup of the color coat or top coat. Our Paint Services offer limited warranties against failure due to application, loss of adhesion (peeling) or premature fading and chalking, as listed below.
This warranty will be voided should the vehicle or body panel be damaged in a subsequent accident or with the transfer of ownership.
I’m Automotive warrants that all paint applications will be done in a proper and sound manner. We use the most professional techniques and the correct amount of materials to assure a uniform color coat and good, consistent gloss. Minor imperfections such as painted over nicks, chips and scratches may be visible under the new paint. These are deemed acceptable unless they were listed as specific repair items on the customer’s itemized repair order.
We will always take care to minimize dust or dirt from settling into the new paint finish while it is curing. Minimal amounts of dust are inherent to the repainting process. To insure your complete satisfaction we offer a five (5) business days inspection period (outlined in this warranty under “Accepting your Repaired Vehicle”). This also applies to the application of the new paint surface.
