2. WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS

LIMITED WARRANTY ON SERVICES: Flywheels warrants that the Services will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner (“Services Warranty”).  The Services Warranty is valid for a period of 30 days from the date the Services are performed. Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and Flywheels’s entire liability under the Services Warranty, is the repair of any nonconforming portion of the Services. The Services Warranty is valid only if the vehicle is returned, at Customer’s expense, to one of Flywheel’s repair facilities. Any claim for repairs to be performed by other than a Flywheels facility must be approved in writing by Flywheels prior to commencement of any work. The Services Warranty extends only to the Customer for whom the Services were provided and not any subsequent purchaser. FLYWHEELS PROVIDES NO OTHER WARRANTIES CONCERNING ITS SERVICES AND DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

 

PARTS – MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES ONLY: Any warranties on any Parts are limited only to those written warranties provided by the applicable Part’s manufacturer.  EXCEPT FOR ANY SUCH WARRANTIES MADE BY MANUFACTURERS, THE PARTS ARE SOLD WITHOUT ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EACH OF WHICH IS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

 

NO OTHER WARRANTIES:  EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, FLYWHEELS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. Flywheels neither assumes nor authorizes any other person to assume for it any liability in connection with the services or any parts provided to customer in conjunction with the services.

​

3. Rates; Authorization; Additional Repairs.

Flywheel’s charges for labor are not based on actual mechanic’s time, but are established by multiplying Flywheel’s labor rate by industry time allowances or Flywheel’s own judgment of the time to be charged.  If an estimate is provided, Customer will not be charged more than the estimated price approved by Customer.  However, if Flywheels discovers that different or additional repairs are indicated, Customer will be contacted for authorization to make such additional repairs.  Authorization may be given by Customer orally or in written form, including email.  In the event that Customer authorizes commencement but does not authorize completion of a repair or service, a charge will be imposed for disassembly, reassembly, or partially completed work. Such charge will be directly related to the actual amount of mechanic’s time and/or parts involved in the inspection, repair, or service performed.  Flywheels will submit warranty claims on behalf of Customer for manufacturers for whom it is authorized to perform warranty service; however Customer understands and agrees that it is responsible for full payment for any Services provided that are not covered by warranty.  Flywheels is not responsible for any loss, damage, or other liability caused by, arising from, or related to repair or maintenance work recommended by Flywheels that is declined by Customer. Customer agrees that Flywheels employees may operate Customer’s vehicle for purposes of facilitating the repairs, including but not limited to diagnosing, road testing, and sublet services.
