Terms & Conditions
These terms apply to all bookings and services provided by Metro Valeting
Prices and estimates
Published prices apply to vehicles in fair / typical interior and exterior condition as described in our service descriptions.
Estimates are valid for 14 days unless otherwise stated.
We reserve the right to charge additional fees where a vehicle's condition requires extra time, materials or specialist handling (e.g. heavy soiling, pet hair, biohazard or industrial contamination).
Bookings, cancellations and no-shows
Bookings are recommended. Walk-in service is subject to availability.
Cancellations or reschedules should be made at least 24 hours prior to the appointment where possible.
We reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee for late cancellations or no-shows.
Vehicle condition, pre-existing damage & inspection
All vehicles must be handed over with keys and any valuable items removed. We are not responsible for loss of personal items left in the vehicle.
We will inspect and record visible pre-existing damage when the vehicle is accepted for service. You will be asked to acknowledge this record where practical.
We accept no liability for pre-existing faults or damage.
We employ reasonable skill and care. Liability for loss or damage is limited to direct proven loss attributable to our negligence.
We are not liable for:
Pre-existing damage.
Damage resulting from inherent defects, corrosion, electronic or mechanical failure unrelated to our work.
Cosmetic marks considered normal for age or wear (minor scratches not identified on the pre-service inspection).
Damage caused by items left in the vehicle.
Any damage suspected to have occurred during service must be reported immediately on collection. We will investigate promptly; where liability is accepted, we will arrange repair, reimbursement or other remedy at our discretion.
For safety and hygiene reasons we may refuse to accept vehicles with obvious biohazard contamination until decontamination is arranged; additional charges will apply.
Service limitations and exclusions
We do not warrant removal of permanent stains, odours from certain contaminants, or repair of damage resulting from previous improper cleaning or aftermarket products.
Specialist services (e.g. paint correction, heavy contamination removal, structural cleaning) incur additional charges and require separate agreement.
Add-on protection products carry manufacturer-specific warranties where applicable; these will be provided at point of sale.
Protection products and coatings
Ceramic and protective coatings are applied to clean, defect-free surfaces. Additional surface preparation (decontamination, light polishing) may be required at extra cost.
No coating guarantees permanent stain or scratch prevention. Effectiveness and durability depend on vehicle use, environment and maintenance. Manufacturer aftercare instructions must be followed to retain product performance.
Data protection & privacy
We collect and store personal data necessary for bookings and service delivery. We handle personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
Photographs
Photographs of vehicles may be taken for record-keeping, marketing or quality control unless you decide to opt out.
