We guarantee the work performed at BORCHERDING COLLISION CENTER so long as said vehicle shall remain under the present ownership. Items on the repair order such as Sublet Work or Sublet Labor, are subject to the guarantee of those suppliers. This warranty shall only apply if the defects occurred under normal driving conditions and not where any vehicle has been subjected to accidents, negligence, abuse or misuse. Specifically excluded from this written warranty are rust coming through the metal, scratches and acquired from driving conditions. This is a fragmented, four part Written Warranty and specific additional stipulations pertaining to each fragmented part are stated hereafter.

The Shop will, at its sole option, re-prime, re-paint, re-stripe or re-decal the specific section or sections of the vehicle warranted hereby. Paint Warranty is valid only when paint is applied over original factory finishes that are free of defect.

MECHANICAL REPAIRS: BORCHERDING COLLISION CENTER provides a Lifetime Written Warranty on all mechanical repairs pertaining directly to original collision damage, excluding suspension, air conditioning or other electrical assemblies or components. The Shop will, at its sole option, re-repair any mechanical assembly or component warranted hereby.

PARTS: BORCHERDING COLLISION CENTER guarantees that parts or materials used are of first quality. Those parts or materials are subject to the guarantee of that supplier.
