❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

**Q: Is this different from the BizFormsBoutique mechanic contract?**
A: Far more detailed! We have a 42-item Vehicle Intake Report, 12-line Repair Estimate Form, built-in customer-supplied parts disclaimer (they don't include this!), diagnostic fee clause, mechanic's lien, abandoned vehicle clause, and 4 bonus documents vs their 0.

**Q: What's the Vehicle Intake & Condition Report?**
A: A full multi-point inspection form you complete when EVERY vehicle arrives. Covers exterior (15 items), interior (9), under hood (9), tires & brakes (5 positions with tread/pressure). Documents pre-existing damage BEFORE you touch the car. Essential protection against false claims.

**Q: Does this handle customer-supplied parts?**
A: Yes! Section 3.4 is a dedicated Customer-Supplied Parts Disclaimer — no parts warranty, fitment at customer's risk, re-install labor if part fails. With customer initials. Other sellers sell this as a SEPARATE product!

**Q: Does this cover mechanic's liens?**
A: Yes! Section 7 includes mechanic's lien clause with state law reference. Laws vary by state — check your local statutes.

**Q: Is this legally binding?**
A: This is a template for informational purposes. Auto repair is heavily regulated by state. Check your state's Bureau of Automotive Repair / Motor Vehicle Repair Act. Consult an attorney.
