Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• have you fitted this make and model before and can you show photos or references
• will you disconnect the battery and take airbag/sensor safety precautions
• is paint blending included and what warranty do you offer on the colour match
• do you supply OEM parts or aftermarket and can you itemise parts and labour costs
• how will you test parking sensors and camera functionality after refit
• what is your process and estimate if hidden structural damage is discovered
How to Avoid Surprises
• check you have space for a van and vehicle ramps or a workshop lift
• confirm paint colour code and provide key/immobiliser details if required
• agree who supplies parts and get a written estimate for paint blending and sensors
• check parking restrictions or permits if the vehicle will be left overnight
• keep pets and children away and ensure a safe area for testing electrical systems
