14.1. A good advice

Before car delivery on car-care centre for the next servicing or repair:
– Wash up it, tidy up in salon and leave houses or in garage all superfluous: personal things, the tool, etc.;
– Consult with skilled motorists and familiarise with the corresponding literature on car repairs – at least approximately it is necessary to imagine character of malfunction and possible amount of works.
At car delivery on car-care centre accurately describe to the master-inspector malfunction symptoms (to define its true reason – a car-care centre problem). To be present at repair it is rather desirable, as the help at constantly arising small auxiliary operations and their coordination considerably accelerate process. So you can check process and quality of repair is better, but it is desirable to refrain from councils about a course of performance of work.
The list of necessary spare parts at repair and account materials is better for co-ordinating with the master performing work. The spare parts bought on the party, usually are cheaper, than given by service, but give to careless repairmen fine possibility to write off application of poor-quality spare parts or poor carried out repairs on the owner of the car. Consult to the master, and if he guarantees quality, spare parts are better for getting at it (especially it concerns the whole knots and units – at them various latent defects which can be revealed only at car operation are possible).
Carefully study the accounting presented to you in which normo-hours, their cost, a kind of the spent works, the list of spare parts with instructions of the prices, and also references to all price-lists used at calculation and standard documents should be specified. Necessarily ask the check or приходный the cash warrant.
At carrying out of big, technically difficult and expensive repair suggest to conclude the written contract. In the contract the order of giving of claims, a warranty period for the performed operations should be specified in repair. Thus conditions should correspond to the statutory act «Rules of granting of services in maintenance service and repair автомототранспортных means», confirmed by the governmental order of the Russian Federation from July, 24th, 1998 № К639, and not to contradict item 730-739 ГК the Russian Federation about household подряде. All it should be on hands at the client with an order or account copy. Do not forget to specify number of the licence or the certificate on registration with instructions of the exact legal address of car-care centre.
At poor-quality repair it is possible to make a complaint to firm according to the law «About protection of the rights of consumers». If guarantee period is not specified, the claim in written form is accepted within six months and if it will not satisfy within 10 days – safely bring an action. If orally to agree with service the administration is not possible and to accept the claim refuses (the document should be in duplicate; on the second, remaining with the client, should undersign in reception of the written claim), send its certified mail with the assurance of receipt and the investment inventory. When the given service refuses to eliminate lacks, it is possible to carry out repairs and in other place, and cost of works to include in the requirement about the indemnification with the appendix of financial documents and the certificate of examination with obligatory instructions that the breakage or malfunction reason – poor carried out repairs. Well and for judicial suit participation of the lawyer and the independent expert of you is desirable.
Works on periodic maintenance service are resulted in the service book applied on each car.
