If you decide not to proceed with the work, they must reassemble the car at no further cost and within the maximum time stated on the teardown estimate. When the repair job is finished, you will receive an invoice, which must show the repair shop name, address, and registration number. All work performed, including any work done under warranty at no charge, must be listed on the invoice. Labor and parts must be itemized separately, and each part must be clearly identified. It must be noted if any used, reconditioned, or rebuilt parts were used.
Sales tax is included as a separate item.
At the time you sign the work order, you may request that the repair shop return to you any parts that are replaced. The shop is required by law to return the parts to you only if you request them before the work is done. If the shop installs a rebuilt part, the old part is usually returned to the supplier as partial payment for the rebuilt part. This payment is called a core charge. If you want the old part back, you may have to pay the core charge.
