WORKSHOP TERMS

Repairs

We always have your best interests foremost when we are repairing your vehicle, but we cannot always complete repairs as we expect; additional parts or labour may be required once a job is underway. We will endeavor to contact you, but if we can’t, we may have to abandon the repair until we can speak to you, this could delay the repair so please ensure you are contactable while your vehicle is with us. We always charge for workshop time spent working on your vehicle. If no problem is not found or an issue cannot be replicated you will still be charged for the diagnostic time spent. If you have a maximum budget, then tell us, we will always comply. This could mean we are unable to complete the repair, however, as soon as we feel this is the case we will stop work and contact you to ask how to proceed.

All outstanding bills must be settled in full before release of the vehicle, we do not offer any form of credit facility for workshop jobs. MSC reserve the right to refuse to release a vehicle if there is a balance outstanding against it.

Only parts supplied and fitted by us are covered by our guarantee. We do not guarantee parts supplied from 3rd parties even if we have fitted them. Similarly are not responsible for problems arising from parts we supply being incorrectly fitted by others.

Prices QUOTED will always be in writing. If it is not in writing then it is only a guide and may change once work commences.

Non Standard Parts or Non Main Dealer work may void any Factory warranty.

Storage Charges: Repaired vehicles that have not been collected within 7 days after work is completed will be charged £10 per day storage. For vehicles NOT being repaired the charge is £15.00 per day.

“RACING PARTS” are for RACE USE ONLY. They are supplied for their intended racing use, and have NO WARRANTY!! We do not recommend using race or competition parts on road vehicles. If you ask us to supply and/or fit these parts, then this is at YOUR OWN RISK. It may be necessary to alter, update or improve other components for parts we supply to work effectively. There may be a real risk of serious engine damage, or of accident if parts are not tuned to work together. We are not responsible for this.

Recovery will be charged according to our costs; the minimum charge is £20:00 . We advise you to use specialist roadside recovery, or AA /RAC cover. We cannot repair your scooter at the roadside or at your home. If we find nothing wrong, or that the problem is incorrect operation, or for example a flat battery, or the spark plug cap fallen off, the recovery charge will still be made. Warranty does not cover this situation. If you have “free recovery”… but call us, we charge you for our recovery service.

We do not have an emergency recovery or emergency repair service. Recovery will be within normal business hours and where possible at a time convenient for you.

Warranty Repairs

We always strive to complete repairs under warranty, but authority must first be given from the Manufacturer. If authority cannot be obtained out of office hours or Saturdays, or if the Warranty Web-Site cannot be accessed, the repair must be paid for. Where warranty authority is given later a refund will be made. If NO FAULT IS FOUND (ie due to incorrect operation, or a perceived fault that simply does not exist or cannot be proven) then neither MSC nor Manufacturers warranty will apply; and a charge will be made, even for investigative work where no fault can be found.

Cancel a Vehicle Purchase.

As there has been no face to face contact, you have a 14 day “cooling off” period to cancel the contract from the date you have paid the deposit. As the purchase of your new bike is both for a service and a product the amount you may be entitled to be refunded depends on when you let us know that you wish to cancel.

The day that you pay us the deposit you authorise us start the paperwork and documentation for your new bike. If you wish to cancel at this stage and before your new bike is delivered, the administration cost for this work is £120 (including VAT)

When your bike arrives it will be booked in for its PDI (Pre Delivery inspection) at this stage, we work on the bike to perform the checks that are required to make the vehicle fit for the road. As part of your order you authorise us to carry out this work and a basic PDI costs £200. If at this stage we have added accessories to the bike it becomes a bespoke product and the order is non-cancellable so you will be responsible for the full balance.

The final stage in the process is registration, if we register a standard bike then it becomes a bespoke product as it has your name permanently applied to its history and the order becomes non-cancellable so you will be responsible for the full balance.

Any cancellation must be sent in writing to MSC Ltd, Pasture road, Stapleford, Nottingham, NG98GG or emailed to sales@scooters.co.uk.
