HOW QUOTING WORKS
A clear quote before
the work starts.
GEAUX AUTO separates diagnosis, labor, parts, mobile costs, supplies, tax, and approved outside work—so you can see what you are paying for and decide with confidence.
FROM REQUEST TO ROAD-READY
Eight simple checkpoints. You stay in control.
Share the vehicle and concern
Send the year, make, model, engine, VIN when available, mileage, location, photos, and the exact symptoms.
We review fit, access, and safety
We confirm whether mobile service is appropriate, what access looks like, and whether diagnosis or towing is the safest first step. A/C availability is vehicle-specific and confirmed after vehicle, refrigerant, equipment, access, and procedure review.
You receive an itemized estimate
The quote separates labor, parts and fluids, mobile fee, supplies, tax, and any approved third-party cost.
You approve the scope
No repair work begins until you approve the quoted plan. Questions are welcome before you decide.
Parts are funded before ordering
A parts deposit may be required before items are purchased or reserved for your appointment.
We schedule the appointment
After scope and parts availability are confirmed, we agree on a service window and safe service location.
We service and verify
If conditions reveal a needed change, work pauses and the updated scope is explained before any added cost.
You receive the final invoice
The invoice reflects completed, approved work and documents the services, parts, fees, and applicable discounts.
PRICING AT A GLANCE
Competitive by design. Clear by default.
A mobile model, job-based labor, and parts billed at actual invoiced cost help keep pricing competitive without hiding the details.
Includes the defined initial testing window for one concern. Additional diagnostic time requires approval.
Any approved travel or unusual-access surcharge is quoted as a separate line item before scheduling.
Capped at $10. Covers normal consumables used to complete approved work.
| Quote item | How it is handled |
|---|---|
| Parts & fluids | Billed at actual invoiced cost with 0% parts markup. |
| Labor | Quoted by approved job scope. Access may adjust labor using Standard 1.0×, Moderate 1.2×, or High/Restricted 1.4×. |
| Quote validity | 7 calendar days from the issue date. Supplier price or availability changes after expiration require a revised quote. |
| Tax & outside work | Applicable tax and any approved towing, machining, programming, disposal, or third-party work are shown separately. |
| Customer-supplied parts | Require prior approval. GEAUX AUTO covers workmanship on the installation, not the supplied part. |
Why the diagnostic comes first
A warning light or symptom can have several causes. Testing protects your budget by narrowing the failure before parts are ordered. The goal is the right repair—not the longest parts list.
POSSIBLE SAVINGS
Simple discounts, applied fairly.
Eligibility is confirmed before the final quote. Discounts do not stack; the single best eligible offer is applied to qualifying labor or fees.
New customer
Up to the standard $25 mobile fee may be waived on a qualifying first visit.
Military community
Active-duty service members, veterans, and military spouses may receive 20% off qualifying labor.
Referral or returning customer
10% off qualifying labor, capped at $25, may be available for referrals or returning customers.
Good information saves time
Complete vehicle details, clear symptoms, photos, and a safe accessible work area can reduce back-and-forth and help us quote accurately.
Your approval is the guardrail.
GEAUX AUTO does not add repair work simply because the vehicle is already apart. If the confirmed condition changes the plan, you receive the reason and revised amount before work continues.
