1. Express Authorization
If you expressly authorized the repairs, you are required to pay for them. This can be done orally or in writing. For example, if you bring your car to a mechanic and ask them to fix the brakes, you are giving express authorization for the work to be done.
2. Implied Authorization
Implied authorization occurs when you have said or done something that leads a reasonable person to believe that you want or expect repairs to be done on your car. This can include actions like leaving your car with a mechanic for an extended period without specifying what repairs you want done, or allowing a mechanic to begin repairs without explicitly objecting.
3. Lack of Authorization
If you did not expressly or impliedly authorize the repairs, you are not responsible for paying for them. This can include situations where the mechanic performs unnecessary repairs, or does repairs without your knowledge or consent.
It's important to make sure that you understand the terms and conditions of any repair agreement you sign before allowing work to begin on your car. If you have concerns about the repairs or charges, you should contact the mechanic to clarify or seek advice from a legal expert.
