New law to protect Ontario car owners will be better pro- tected now that a new motor vehicle repair law has been passed announced Consumer Minister William Wrye today. As of October 1, the Motor Vehicle Repair Act will require mandatory war- ranties ori new and reconditioned parts and associated labor, written estimates on request, and full disclosure of repair rates. "This new legislation will take the sur- prise element out of repair bills," said Mr, Wrye. "All repair outlets will be required to post signs stating repair rates and the methods used to calculate the charges. In addition, written estimates, including any related fees, must be provided on request." The act will be proclaimed on October 1, 1988. Included in the new legislation, are the following provisions: - Written estimates must be provided on request ; - Customers must be advised, in advance, if there is a fee for an estimate and the amount of the fee; - The actual repair cost cannot exceed 10 per cent of the written estimate without authorization; - The repairer must offer return of remov- ed parts to the consumer when the work is authorized; - A warranty must be provided on new or reconditioned parts and associated labor for a minimum of 90 days of 5,000 kilometres. For motorcycles and motor- car owners assisted bicycles, the warranty period is 30 days or 1,500 kilometres. An important feature of this legislation is the stipulation that repair outlets cannot charge more to insurance companies than to individual consumers. "This will help keep the costs of insurance down," said the Minister. After the job is completed,the repair outlet must provide the customer with an invoice showing the date, the name and ad- dress of both consumer and repairer, licence number and other particulars of the vehicle, odometer reading, description of work performed, a listing of all parts in- stalled and their price, the number of hours billed and subsequent cost, total amount of invoice and terms of the warranty. Should the vehicle become unsafe or in- operable while the warranty is in force, consumers will be able to recover original charges. The original repairer will be given the first opportunity to rectify the problem, only if it is practical for the consumer. All repair outlets will display a sign directing consumer complaints to the nearest regional office of the Ministry of Consumer and Commercial Relations. "This basic car repair protection will en- sure Ontario consumers have access to the information they need to make informed decisions on all aspects of maintenance and repair of their cars," said Mr. Wrye.
