Free Auto Body Technician
Service Agreement
One bad frame pull or a botched paint match turns your profit into a debt you'll be paying off for months. Without a signed paper, that 'buddy' client will leave you holding the bag for three grand in wasted clear coat and OEM parts.
Pro Contractor Tip
Never touch a hidden dent or rusted frame rail until you get a signed Supplemental Authorization clause for the extra labor and parts.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Auto Body Technician, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when I find hidden damage that wasn't in the original estimate?
Stop the tools and don't spend another dime until you invoke your 'Supplemental Work' clause; having this in writing ensures you get paid for the extra labor instead of eating the cost of hidden repairs.
The customer wants to bring their own cheap aftermarket parts—should I let them?
Only if your contract includes a 'Customer-Supplied Parts' waiver that releases you from any warranty liability, otherwise you'll be fixing their garbage for free when it fails to fit.
How do I deal with customers who leave their finished car taking up my shop space for weeks?
Include a 'Daily Storage Fee' in your terms that kicks in 48 hours after notice of completion; it turns your wasted floor space into a revenue stream and forces them to settle the bill.
