Information on our Lifetime Guarantee
In addition to any guarantee an insurance company offers on the work that we provide,
at Van Eck Collision we also offer our own lifetime guarantee on our services.  This means
that we guarantee for as long as you own your automobile the body repair work and
refinishing work that we provided.  This does not mean that we guarantee the parts that were
purchased and installed on our client's vehicles.  However, if you have a concern about a
recent repair dealing and you have questions regarding our services or the parts that were
replaced please feel free to contact any of our locations for assistance.  We will have to
physically inspect your vehicle to give you certain information regarding your warranty on the
repairs.

Furthermore our company warranties vary if the vehicle is a recreational vehicle, personal
watercraft, emergency apparatus, or commercial vehicle.



Maintaining your vehicle after repairs
After your vehicle has been repaired you need to wait 30 days before having your vehicle
hand waxed.  You should avoid machined car washes as well, as they can cause damage to
your vehicle and do no provide the proper protection for your vehicles paint coat.  

In 30 days you should bring your vehicle back to us to get a hand wax.  

At least 1 time per month you should bring your vehicle in to get a full service hand wash.  

Every 90 days you need to bring your vehicle to us to get the old wax removed and a fresh
coat of wax applied by hand.  

Finally, an exterior detail (buff, polish, and wax) is highly recommended 2 times per year, or
every 6 months.  

Plus you should have your vehicle's interior detailed as well 1 time per year.

best.  We offer free pick-up and delivery with-in 5 miles of our locations, and we also will put
