Free Paintless Dent Repair Tech
Service Agreement
One bad hail storm and a handshake deal will leave you holding a bag of broken glue tabs and unpaid invoices while the body shop pockets the insurance check. If you don't lock down who pays for hidden damage and brittle trim, you're working for free to fix the car's pre-existing sins.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Pre-existing Finish Release' to ensure you aren't held liable when a client's cheap aftermarket respray flakes off during a standard glue pull.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Paintless Dent Repair Tech, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I stop a customer from nitpicking a microscopic wave in a double-metal crease?
A written agreement defines 'industry standard' using specific lighting tools; if the reflection holds under the board as agreed, the job is done and the check gets signed.
The shop is holding my pay until the insurance supplement clears—how do I get paid today?
Your contract needs to state that your labor is due upon completion, not when the insurance company feels like cutting a check, otherwise you're just giving the shop an interest-free loan.
Who pays for the $300 blind-spot sensor that snapped during a standard door panel removal?
Use a 'Hidden Damage and Consumables' clause to shift the cost of brittle, one-time-use hardware and hidden electronics back to the client so it doesn't eat your entire profit margin.
