Compliancies

Front Office:    “Waiver & Release of Liability”
- Vehicle Unsafe to Drive

ABOUT:  “Waiver & Release of Liability” - Form
This Form is used when a customer walks into your store requesting an estimate for repairs.  
However,  upon inspecting the vehicle you identify that it is “Unsafe to Drive” on Public Roads (e.g.
Severe - Tire or Suspension Damage, Radiator Leak, Cracked Transmission ...etc)

Waiver and Release of Liability:
“Vehicle Unsafe to Drive on Public Roads”
This section indicates that the Repair Facility has taken steps to warn the customer that their
vehicle is unsafe to drive on Public roads.

Notification to Owners "Insurance Provider”
This Step Helps the Store to “Capture the Sale”
This section helps the Repair Facility to "Capture The Sale".   Motivate the customer to fill out this
section of the form and assist them in faxing it to their Insurance Agent who will generate a claim
and notify you if customer has rental coverage.  The key is to put the customer in a safe rental car,
have them sign the “Tear Down Authorization” so you can get started to prepare an estimate for
damage.

Note: A release of liability gives you a layer of protection, but it doesn't altogether negate the
possibility of a lawsuit. It does however make it difficult for the client to prove or claim that they
have come to harm without any warning from your store.
