Upon request of the customer and before the commencement of repairs, the shop shall provide the customer with a price estimate for the repairs. The repair price estimate shall be made in good faith by the shop and may not be exceeded except for good cause and additional charges over the price estimate may not be incurred without approval of the customer. Nothing in this section may be construed as requiring a shop to provide a price estimate if the shop does not agree to perform the requested repairs.

This price estimate will not be exceeded if the motor vehicle is delivered to the shop within five days. After the motor vehicle is delivered to the shop the repair price may be less than the estimate but will not exceed the estimate without your permission. Your signature on the repair order will indicate your authorization of repairs at the price estimated.
You are entitled to the return of any or all replaced parts, except parts which must be returned to a manufacturer because of warranty and/or exchange agreement, if you request the parts at the time your order is taken. Those parts which must be returned to the manufacturer will be made available for inspection to you when you pick up your vehicle if you request the parts at the time your repair order is taken.”
