Estimate and Invoice Discrepancies:
I understand that the final invoice from Champions Collision 1, Inc. for the repairs on my vehicle may not match the insurance company’s estimate regarding parts, labor, or procedures used. Parts prices are based on recent Estimating Software; however, prices may vary due to currency fluctuations or varying supplier costs. I acknowledge that repair techniques are employed based on Champions Collision 1, Inc.’s judgment to ensure a high-quality repair. Labor charges are based on hourly time allowances as provided in the collision repair industry estimating software and the experience of the technicians. These charges may be more or less than the actual time spent on repairs.
