Terms
Terms & Conditions
Last updated: May 2026
These terms set out the agreement between A1 Auto Styling and you when you ask for a quote, book a service, or use this website. They are written in plain English because they should be readable.
1. About these terms
These Terms & Conditions are the agreement between Beau Ronald McClymont (ABN 93 781 460 967), trading as "A1 Auto Styling" from Unit 26 / 13–15 Ellerslie Rd, Meadowbrook QLD 4131, and you, the customer, when you book a service, ask for a quote, or use this website. References to "A1 Auto Styling", "we", "us" or "our" mean Beau McClymont trading as A1 Auto Styling. By booking a service or paying a deposit you agree to these terms.
2. Quotes
Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date we send them, unless we tell you otherwise in writing. A quote is based on the information you give us about your vehicle and what you want done. If the vehicle's actual condition differs from what was described — heavy contamination, severe paint damage, prior poor-quality work that needs correction first — we will let you know before we start and confirm any price change with you in writing.
3. Pricing and GST
All prices on this website, in quotes and on invoices are in Australian dollars. A1 Auto Styling is a small business not currently registered for GST, so we do not charge GST on our services. If our turnover crosses the GST threshold in future and we register, GST will be added at that point and we will let you know.
4. Payment
For most services, payment is due on completion via card or bank transfer. For higher-value bookings (typically ceramic coating packages, or full multi-day work), we may take a deposit when you book to secure your slot. The deposit and the balance amount will be clear on your quote and booking confirmation.
Payments not received on completion may incur interest at 10% per year, calculated daily, plus any reasonable recovery costs, after we have given you written notice and an opportunity to pay. We accept bank transfer, EFTPOS, and major credit cards via our payment processor.
5. Booking confirmation
A booking is confirmed when you accept the quote and (if a deposit applies) we have received the deposit. Once a booking is confirmed we hold the slot for you and decline other work for that window.
6. Lead times and timing
Times we quote (for example "ceramic coating takes 1–2 days") are estimates in good faith based on the vehicle, the work, and the weather. They are not guarantees. We will let you know promptly if anything is going to push past the quoted timing — weather is a common reason for ceramic coatings since cure conditions matter.
7. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Telling us the truth about the vehicle's current condition when asking for a quote
- Bringing the vehicle to us at the booked time, or making it available at the booked location for a mobile booking
- For mobile bookings: providing safe and lawful access to the vehicle and (where the service requires it) reasonable access to water and power. If the location is not suitable we will let you know on arrival and may need to reschedule or relocate the work.
- Removing all personal valuables from the vehicle before the service. We are careful but we are not responsible for items you have left inside.
- Inspecting the work on completion. We will walk you through what was done and answer questions.
8. Variations after confirmation
If you want to add to or change a confirmed service (add a coating, change a tint shade, add interior work etc.), let us know as early as possible. We will tell you whether it is feasible within the booked slot, what it will cost, and how it changes the timing. Variations only become binding when both of us have confirmed them in writing (email, SMS, or messaging counts).
9. Cancellation and rescheduling
You can reschedule a booking at no charge if you let us know at least 48 hours before the appointment.
Cancellations more than 48 hours before the appointment: deposit refunded in full minus any payment-processor fees we cannot recover.
Cancellations within 48 hours of the appointment: deposit is non-refundable because we have held the slot and turned away other work. If you have a genuine emergency we will work with you in good faith.
Cancellations after the service has started: you are responsible for the work completed up to that point at the quoted rate.
This does not affect any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
10. Custody of the vehicle
When we are working on your vehicle (whether at our workshop or at your premises for a mobile booking), we take reasonable care. We carry public liability insurance.
For workshop bookings, your vehicle is in our custody from the time you drop it off until you collect it. We will keep it secure and out of the weather where possible.
For mobile bookings, your vehicle remains in your control and on your premises — we only have working access during the booked window.
11. Inspection on completion
We walk you through the finished work at handover (workshop) or on completion (mobile) so you can inspect it in good light and ask questions. If you notice something at handover, raise it with us then so we can address it on the spot.
If you notice an issue with the work after you have driven away, contact us within 7 days, in writing, with photos. We will assess and respond.
12. Warranty on our workmanship
We stand behind our work. If the finish on a service we have performed develops a fault caused by our workmanship — for example a ceramic coating failing to bond properly, tint film lifting at the edges within the manufacturer warranty period — we will fix it without charge.
Manufacturer warranties on coating products and tint film are passed through to you directly — we will provide the paperwork and registration where the manufacturer requires it (5-Year and 10-Year ceramic coatings carry the product manufacturer's warranty when applied by an authorised installer).
Workmanship warranty does not cover damage from accidents, vandalism, third-party work performed on the vehicle after our service, harsh chemicals, automatic car washes with abrasive brushes, or normal wear and tear from use.
13. Australian Consumer Law
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. In particular:
- We will provide our services with due care and skill
- The services and any products supplied with them will be fit for the purpose you described to us, or reasonably expected for the service
- The services will be supplied within a reasonable time when no time has been specified
You are entitled to cancel the service contract and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value, if the services have a major failure. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If the failure does not amount to a major failure you are entitled to have problems with the service rectified in a reasonable time and, if this is not done, to cancel and obtain a refund for the unused portion of the contract.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
14. Limitation of liability
Subject to the Australian Consumer Law (which we cannot exclude), our total liability for any service is limited to the price paid for that service. We are not liable for indirect, consequential or special loss (including loss of use, business interruption, or third-party labour costs) to the extent permitted by law.
15. Force majeure
We are not responsible for delays or cancellations caused by events outside our reasonable control — severe weather (especially for outdoor ceramic and detailing work), illness, vehicle breakdown affecting our equipment, supplier failure, public-health orders, or government action. We will let you know promptly and either reschedule at the next available slot or refund any unworked deposit.
16. Photos and content
We take before-and-after photos of every vehicle for our work record. We will only post photos of your vehicle to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, this website or any other public surface with your permission. If you have given permission and change your mind, message us and we will remove the post within a reasonable time.
The photos, drone footage and video we create stay our work — we may use them for our own marketing across our own channels. We will not sell your vehicle's likeness to a third party for advertising without your consent.
17. Privacy
How we handle your personal information is set out in our Privacy Policy.
18. Website use
The content on this website is for general information about our services. We do our best to keep prices, descriptions and availability accurate — the quote we give you in writing for your specific vehicle and service is what governs the work, not page copy.
19. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia. Any dispute that we cannot resolve directly with you will be heard by the courts of Queensland. Consumer disputes may also be referred to the Queensland Office of Fair Trading or the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC).
20. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of the page tells you when. The terms in effect at the time you booked a service govern that booking.
