FAQS
Towing Your Vehicle
If your vehicle is not drivable (i.e. leaking fluids, body parts
rubbing tires) and the police have not called a tow truck, we can
arrange one for you. Please let us know where your vehicle is located
and NCRC will schedule a pick-up with one of several local towing
companies.
What are your hours and do I need an appointment for an estimate?
Our
hours are Monday thru Friday from 7:30am to 5:00pm. You do not need an
appointment to receive an estimate. Please come by at your convenience.
Closed all major holidays.
Is there a cost to have an estimate performed?
NCRC does not charge for estimates. We will provide you with a thoroughly written, free estimate.
Why are your prices sometimes higher?
A lower estimate may
not include all necessary work or parts. You may ask for a line by line
comparison if you aren't sure why one estimate is different from
another. NCRC tries to write a complete preliminary estimate but
occasionally we will find hidden damage once we do a tear down of the
vehicle. Any price differences will be discussed with you and your
insurance company.
Can I take my vehicle to any shop?
You, as the consumer,
have the right to choose where you want to have your vehicle repaired.
You do not have to obtain more than one estimate or appraisal for
vehicle repair.
When can I drop off my car for repairs?
We like to set an
appointment for dropping your vehicle off so that we minimize the time
your vehicle is in our shop. We do have an after hours drop for those
who are unable to make it during regular business hours. Please call us
at (615) 776-8766 for an appointment.
Payment Policies
Full payment is required when picking up
your vehicle. If insurance is involved, please bring the insurance
check and deductible (if applicable) with you. Acceptable forms of
payment are cash, personal check, properly endorsed checks, Visa,
MasterCard and Discover.
What are betterment charges?
Parts that wear out and need
replacement with time and use (i.e. tires, batteries and suspension)
are subject to betterment charges are pro-rated based on actual mileage
on your vehicle.
Can I wash and wax my vehicle?
