[Rev. 2016] No. 46 of 2012 Consumer Protection (4) Despite subsection (3), a repairer may charge a fee for an estimate if the repairer is unable to obtain, without unreasonable delay, authorization to proceed with the work or repairs and the goods are reassembled before being worked on or repaired so that the goods can be moved in order to free repair space. 46. Authorization required (1) No repairer shall charge for any work or repairs unless the consumer authorizes the work or repairs. (2) No repairer shall charge, for work or repairs for which an estimate was given, an amount that exceeds the estimate by more than ten per cent. 47. Authorization not in writing If an authorization required by section 44, 45 or 46 is not given in writing, the authorization is not effective unless it is recorded in a manner that meets the prescribed requirements. 48. Posting signs A repairer shall post the prescribed signs in accordance with the prescribed requirements. 49. Return of parts (1) Every repairer shall offer to return to the consumer all parts removed in the course of work or repairs and shall return all such parts unless advised when the work or repairs are authorized that the consumer does not require their return. (2) Every repairer shall keep parts removed from goods being repaired separate from the parts removed from any other goods and, if their return is requested by the consumer, shall return the parts in a clean container. (3) Subsections (1) and (2) do not apply to― (a) parts for which there has been no charge for the part or for work on or repair to the part; or (b) parts replaced under warranty whose return to the manufacturer or distributor is required. 50. Invoice The repairer shall, on completion of work or repairs, deliver to the consumer an invoice containing the prescribed information in the prescribed manner. 51. Warranty for vehicles (1) On the repair of a vehicle, every repairer shall be deemed to warrant all new or reconditioned parts installed and the labour required to install them for a minimum of ninety days or five thousand kilometres, whichever comes first, or for such greater minimum as may be prescribed. (2) The warranty in subsection (1) is in addition to the deemed and implied conditions and warranties set out in section 5. (3) The person having charge of a vehicle that becomes inoperable or unsafe to drive because of the failure or inadequacy of work or repairs to which a warranty under this section applies may, when it is not reasonable to return the vehicle to the original repairer, have the failure or inadequacy repaired at the closest facility available for the work or repairs. 25
