Technical support labour and equipment diagnostic services are conducted in a confidential manner, mutually between LR and C and supplied by LR at a previously agreed daily rate plus travel costs where applicable, as required by C. At the discretion of LR, C may arrange and pay directly for local travel and living costs, especially if outside the UK. C will always be responsible for vehicle and its insurance.
Technical diagnostic support and advice will never be carried out within a vehicle on track at a race circuit.
- Diagnostic services carried out at LR premises
LR will provide an estimate of timescale for diagnostic work to C but cannot be held responsible for delays due to unforeseen circumstances.
C will be responsible for delivery and collection of vehicle to and from LR Ltd.
C is responsible for their vehicle and its insurance at all times whilst work is carried out by LR.
The business premises at LR have limited space. LR assures C every effort and care is taken with vehicles but ultimately they are left with LR at C’s risk.
Where C or their representative attend a diagnostic session at the discretion of LR, instructions for safety in the workshop will be given by LR and must always be adhered to. Ultimately, LR cannot be held responsible for the actions of C or their representatives.
LR retains the right to refuse any work/tuning if C presents a vehicle which is not in a suitable state of preparedness. Any advance payment by C will be forfeit and goods purchased in preparation for the project may be chargeable.
C is expected to have a level of mechanical understanding and handling commensurate with their vehicle being worked on by LR.
C must inform LR of any previous work carried out on the vehicle by themselves or a different supplier which may, in any way, impact on the services or goods sold by LR to C.
C should notify LR prior to the booking if there are concerns regarding any aspect of their car. LR can then discuss with C the required repair and obtain C’s agreement for this to be done by LR or otherwise, prior to commencing diagnostic work.
Goods and services supplied to complete the schedule of work but not included as part of the initial booking estimate will be charged to C. All reasonable attempts will be made by LR to keep C informed of such developments and obtain C’s agreement to go ahead. This is providing LR has enough time to complete the job without affecting other appointments or workload.
C must confirm to LR that all installed audio and visual recording equipment has been removed from the vehicle prior to their appointment. If not, LR reserves the right to remove such equipment, including power supplies, memory cards etc and handover to customer for their own re-installation after LR work is complete.
By default, unless stated otherwise at time of booking a diagnostic service, C gives permission for LR to capture photos, audio or videos of their vehicle undergoing work at LR premises and indefinitely use on LR managed promotional media. Permission by C cannot be withdrawn retrospectively and LR cannot be held liable for media images of C’s vehicle obtained without permission and displayed on non LR managed media.
- Vehicle collection & aftersales
Post LR work, if a vehicle is licensed for public road use, LR advises C should take a test drive in the local area before setting off on journey to next destination. LR advises C to have alternative transport in place in the unlikely event that the test drive proves unsatisfactory and the car remains with LR for follow up work.
Vehicle recovery and breakdown cover must be held by C enabling recovery to LR’s business premises.
All power, torque or any other results recorded during LR ’s diagnostic service are not guaranteed and outcomes may be different when a vehicle is not in LR’s diagnostic workshop.
When LR notifies C that their vehicle is ready for collection, C will be expected to remove the vehicle within 3 working days unless alternative arrangements are in place. Where no previous arrangement applies, from day 4 and onwards a storage fee of £25 per day maybe charged.
LR will advise C of any parts necessarily and permanently removed by LR from C’s vehicle. These will be placed into short term storage for up to 5 working days awaiting collection by C. If no alternative arrangements are made and they are not collected during this time, by default C gives LR explicit permission to dispose of the parts removed from C’s car, for which a disposal fee may be levied.
18.Emissions
