Hiring auto repair shops in Ames: what to check yourself

  1. Ask for the license number and look it up. The license should be in the company's or owner's name, not a third party who lends it.
  2. Get the insurance certificate sent from the insurer to you. Ask for liability and, if they have employees, workers' compensation.
  3. Make sure the contractor pulls any permit. If you are asked to pull it as the owner, treat that as a red flag.
  4. Tie payments to finished stages rather than paying most of the price up front.
  5. Get the scope, price and warranty in writing before work starts.
