Customer Payment Information
Whenever possible we collect our service fees over the phone prior to dispatch. The deposit is due up front and is the same as the cost of the customer's insurance deductible. If not filing a claim, the default deposit is $1000. Ask the customer if they're prepared to make their payment over the phone and continue.
