These Terms & Conditions apply to all services provided by South Coast Paint Protection. By booking a service with us, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms.

1. Bookings & Quotes

All quotes provided are estimates based on the information supplied by the customer at the time of enquiry.

Final pricing may vary if the vehicle condition, size, or scope of work differs from the details originally provided.

Quotes remain valid for 14 days unless otherwise stated.

A booking is only confirmed once a date and time has been agreed and, where required, a deposit has been received.

2. Deposits & Payments

Certain services such as ceramic coatings, paint protection film (PPF), or larger jobs may require a booking deposit to secure the appointment.

Deposits are non-refundable if the appointment is cancelled with less than 48 hours notice.

Full payment is required upon completion of the service unless prior arrangements have been made.

South Coast Paint Protection reserves the right to retain the vehicle until payment has been made in full.

3. Vehicle Condition & Inspection

Vehicles will be inspected upon arrival prior to work commencing.

Customers must disclose any known issues including:

previous paintwork

repainted panels

body repairs

existing damage

aftermarket modifications

South Coast Paint Protection is not responsible for issues arising from previous repairs, weak paint, or poor paintwork quality.

4. Paint Correction & Detailing Expectations

Machine polishing and paint correction can significantly improve paint condition, but not all scratches or defects can be safely removed.

Some deeper defects may remain to avoid unnecessary removal of clear coat.

Results may vary depending on:

vehicle age

paint condition

previous repairs

factory paint thickness

5. Ceramic Coating Services

Ceramic coatings provide surface protection but do not make the vehicle scratch-proof.

The longevity and performance of coatings depend on:

proper maintenance

environmental conditions

washing methods

Customers are responsible for following recommended aftercare guidelines provided by South Coast Paint Protection.

Failure to maintain the coating properly may affect performance and durability.

6. Paint Protection Film (PPF)

Paint Protection Film is designed to protect painted surfaces from stone chips and minor impacts.

While PPF significantly reduces damage risk, it cannot guarantee complete prevention of all impacts or damage.

Due to the nature of installation:

small edges may be visible in certain lighting

minor imperfections may occur

film edges may be present around complex shapes

These are considered normal within the industry.

7. Window Tinting

Window tinting must comply with South Australian road regulations.

South Coast Paint Protection will install tint within legal limits unless otherwise requested by the customer.

We are not responsible for legal issues if a customer specifically requests tint outside of legal specifications.

Newly tinted windows must not be wound down for 3–5 days to allow proper curing.

8. Liability & Damage

While all care is taken when working on vehicles, South Coast Paint Protection is not liable for:

pre-existing damage

fragile or deteriorated paintwork

mechanical faults

electrical faults unrelated to our work

Customers are encouraged to remove all personal belongings from the vehicle before service.

South Coast Paint Protection is not responsible for lost or damaged personal items left inside the vehicle.

9. Cancellations & Rescheduling

Customers must provide at least 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

Late cancellations may result in the loss of any booking deposit.

South Coast Paint Protection reserves the right to reschedule appointments due to:

weather conditions

equipment issues

unforeseen circumstances

10. Warranty

Where applicable, product warranties for coatings, films, or tint are provided by the product manufacturer.

Warranty coverage may be void if:

the vehicle is not maintained correctly

improper cleaning methods are used

the vehicle is involved in an accident or damage event

Full warranty details will be provided at the time of service.

11. Customer Responsibility

Customers agree to:

provide accurate information about the vehicle

ensure the vehicle is available at the agreed time

follow aftercare instructions provided

Failure to comply may affect service results or warranties.

12. Right to Refuse Service
