What Happens When I Arrive |
|
When you arrive you will park your vehicle in the car park and proceed to the reception area. Here you will check in, sign the appropriate disclaimers, and will then be assigned the appropriate bay depending on the type of work you intend to carry out. During the check-in process, you will complete a form with general information including name, address, phone number, method of payment, type of repair/maintenance to be performed, and expected time of completion. This form will have a disclaimer relinquishing The Motor Gym from any liability resulting in the customer's inability to perform the repair. You will be given ten identification tags that can be traded for tools. You must give up one tag for each tool you wish to rent. This process prevents any one customer from accumulating all the tools, which would limit other customers' access. The price to rent the tools will vary. If the method of payment chosen is credit card, then the card will be swiped prior to service. If however you wish to pay in cash, then you must either leave a credit card, drivers license or cash deposit before the ten tags are issued. When you have completed your work, you will finish the check-out process prior to removing the vehicle from the repair bay. You will the return all of the identification tags, or the tools you have received for the tags. Once the tool account has been reconciled, the completion time will be recorded and the invoice prepared. The invoice will provide an itemised list of costs to include: bay rental fee (based on time and type of bay), tool rental fee (based on the category of tools rented), miscellaneous charges (computer printouts of repair instructions or explosion charts), and taxes. After payment is made, you will be allowed to remove your car from the bay.
