These are charges determined by your insurance carrier on parts that have a specific “lifetime” associated with them and are pro-rated based on the year and mileage of your vehicle. Example of these parts are radiators, exhaust components, tires, and specific suspension parts to name a few. If your vehicle’s repairs have parts that are depreciated you will need to pay that amount at the completion of the repair process.

Once your vehicle has been returned to your care you will be able to wash it as normal. We do suggest though that you do not wax or use any sealer to any of the painted areas of your vehicle for one month.
