Clicking the boxes indicates you have read and agree to the following statement(s):

TEARDOWN AUTHORIZATION- I authorize the TEARDOWN and APPRAISAL of the listed vehicle. I understand if, for any reason, the vehicle repairs are cancelled before completion, there could be charges incurred for the estimate, teardown, non-returnable parts, restocking fees, negotiations and storage, where applicable. These charges must be paid in full prior to release of the vehicle.
REPAIR AUTHORIZATION- I authorize Hunter Body Works to complete the estimated repair work to be done along with necessary materials. And hereby grant Hunter Body Works and/or its employees permission to operate the listed vehicle on streets, highways or elsewhere for the purpose of completing repairs, testing and/or inspection. An express mechanic's lien is hereby acknowledged on the listed vehicle.
AUTHORIZATION TO ACCESS DATA- I understand that modern vehicles are complex, and that electronic data recorded in vehicle systems may help to diagnose necessary repairs and confirm applicable systems are functional after repairs are performed. I authorize Hunter Body Works to access this data as part of the repair process and agree I am ultimately responsible for any additional charges this service may incur.
NATURAL / WEATHER DAMAGE- In the case of damage caused by wind, fire, hail, flooding or other "Acts of God", I agree to file a claim for the damages with my own insurance company. I understand that Hunter Body Works is unable to keep all vehicles inside or under cover to protect from the elements and is not responsible for these types of losses.
LABOR RATES & COSTS- I understand that Hunter Body Works’ labor and material rates are posted and considered fair and reasonable. If my insurance company does not cover these rates or any portion of the repair, I agree to be responsible for the difference.
PARTS- Hunter Body Works highly prefers to use only OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement parts. We understand insurance companies often prefer the use of NON-OEM (aftermarket) parts, recycled/LKQ (Like Kind in Quality) parts or reconditioned parts to reduce costs. If said insurance company chooses to utilize these types of parts, we will first give you the option to pay the price difference to the OEM parts. We reserve the right to refuse the use of any parts we think may sacrifice quality and safety.

HUNTER BODYWORKS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY NON-OEM PARTS CHOSEN BY THE OWNER OR INSURANCE COMPANY. THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON NON-OEM PARTS INCLUDING FIT, FINISH, AND ANY LABOR ASSOCIATED.
I understand collision repairs are a complex process and typically take 2-6 weeks, on average.
RENTAL VEHICLES- Certain events, such as insurance delays, parts delays, extensive vehicle damage, etc. may result in longer repair times. These longer repair times may exceed the limit of your rental coverage. Hunter Body Works will not be responsible for any rental expenses.
PAYMENTS- Hunter Bodyworks accepts insurance checks, personal checks, money orders, credit cards and cash as accepted payments.
Please be sure all payees (including lienholder, if applicable) have endorsed the insurance check(s) prior to completion of repairs.
CREDIT CARDS- I understand an additional 3% processing fee will apply to all credit or debit card payments.
POWER OF ATTORNEY- I hereby constitute and appoint Hunter Body Works as my agent (attorney-in-fact) to act for me in any true and lawful way to accept and endorse, on my behalf, any and all checks, drafts, or bills of exchange received by me or by Hunter Body Works, from any insurance company and apply them to the cost of repairs of the listed vehicle, provided that such proceeds are used only for payment due Hunter Body Works.
