Engine Detail Release of Liabillity Form

APerfectShine · 09-07-05, 04:43

I recently had a customer raise a fuss about an engine that was sprayed off according to their instruction. I'm going to need to use a release of liability form for engines that I do in the future. Does anyone have such a form readily available for me to use?

Thanks a lot!

I have one that is a must! I have in the past sold a CD copy of all my forms so I can't send you a copy without being unfair to the persons that already bought the CD from me but I can tell you that it is a must to cover yer arse!! One in every 40-50 cars gives us a scare.

Cleaning engines is a huge liability for the money so you really need to be protected.

Couldn't you just cover engine detail liability in the standard waiver? Or do you not have everyone sign a waiver? I guess I am too litigous thinking.

The waiver at the bottom of my work order is big enough already and nobody ever reads it. I like having the engine laibility seperate so I can wipe it out and go over it with them.

would you mind posting your work order? Just to see what it includes?

Thanks

Sorry, I have sold copies of it to people on this forum. How happy will they be if I post it for free.

Get a work order from anywhere and use that as a template.

I'd be interested in the price as well.

I'm in the process of getting all my forms together, and an engine detail release of liability form is number one on the list. As Joe says, it's definitely a must.

Definitely a good idea. I don't clean engines very often because it just isn't worth opening myself up to the liability.

Scott,
We cover everything witha degreaser, close the hood and wash, clay, wheels, etc.. the rest of the vehicle then come back and do the engine withthe pressure washer and an old wash mitt. We also do the underside of the hood.

We get min. $45 for an engine detail. It takes us about 15 min for the average job.

That works out to about $180 an hour There is very little product use and with the liability form signed I am good to go..

Also the jobs that have bitten us in the rear just took extra time to dry off conections or other minor PITA thing to get it running.

It is easy money.
