Text — 2026 Florida Statutes
(1) No motor vehicle repair shop shall charge for making a repair price estimate unless, prior to making the price estimate, the shop:
(a) Discloses to the customer the amount of the charge or, if the amount cannot be determined, the basis on which the charge will be calculated; and
(b) Obtains authorization on the written repair estimate, in accordance with s. 559.905, to prepare an estimate. No motor vehicle repair shop shall impose or threaten to impose any such charge which is clearly excessive in relation to the work involved in making the price estimate.
