Company Policies

​​1. Payments for keys and services.

 

Once a mobile service has been booked, we require a DEPOSIT made on the total invoice prior to travel via a secure square payment checkout link. For lockout services, we require FULL PREPAYMENT. This is done in order to reserve our limited appointment slots and to protect our company from no-shows or last minute cancellations. This fee is 100% refundable ONLY if cancelled prior to departure and PARTIALLY refunded if our technicians have already arrived. If Car-Tek, due to unforeseen circumstances, cannot fulfill the appointment, you will receive full reimbursement. The full payment of the work order invoice is due on arrival before work begins. All special key, fob, module, locks and hardware pre-orders require payment upfront.

We reserve the right to retain a 45$ attempt to program fee when CUSTOMER supplied keys fail to register to host vehicles they are trying to be programmed to.

Separately, If we are unable to program a key to a vehicle due to a mechanical/electrical issue unrelated to the security system, we reserve the right to charge a 75$ Diagnostics Fee. This can Include a diagnostics report of the vehicle's trouble codes from our scan tool.
