Refund Policy
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
Our Commitment to Customer Satisfaction
At Eagle Engineering & Design, we are committed to providing professional automotive customization services that meet or exceed customer expectations. This refund policy outlines the terms and conditions for refunds and ensures transparency in our business practices.
Service-Based Business Nature
As a service-based business specializing in automotive modifications and installations, our refund policy differs from retail product returns. Once services are performed and parts are installed, reversal may not always be possible or practical. We work closely with customers during the consultation process to ensure clear understanding and agreement before beginning any work.
Pre-Service Cancellation
Consultation and Estimate Phase
- Consultations and estimates can be cancelled at any time without charge
- No payment is required until services are approved and scheduled
- Estimates are provided free of charge and without obligation
After Service Agreement
- Cancellations more than 48 hours before scheduled service: Full refund of any deposits
- Cancellations within 48 hours: Refund minus 25% restocking fee for ordered parts
- Same-day cancellations: Refund minus cost of any special-ordered or custom parts
Partial Service Completion
When services are partially completed due to unforeseen circumstances:
- Customer-Initiated Changes: Payment required for completed work plus cost of installed parts
- Technical Issues: We work with customers to find alternative solutions or provide appropriate refunds
- Vehicle Compatibility: If modifications cannot be completed due to unforeseen compatibility issues, refund of unperformed services
Completed Service Satisfaction
Service Quality Issues
If you are not satisfied with completed work due to quality issues:
- Report concerns within 10 days of service completion
- We will inspect the work and determine appropriate resolution
- Options may include: corrective work at no charge, partial refund, or alternative solutions
- Our goal is to resolve all quality concerns to customer satisfaction
Performance Expectations
- Performance improvements are estimates based on typical results
