Terms of service

The deal, in plain words.

These are the terms for headlight restoration work and for texting with us. Nothing here is a surprise — it's what I'd tell you standing in your driveway.

Quotes and pricing

$119 covers both headlights on most cars. Bigger trucks and SUVs, four-headlight setups, and lenses far enough gone to need extra sanding stages cost more. Any price quoted from a photo is an estimate — the final number is confirmed in person before work starts, and you're free to say no at that point and owe nothing.

Payment is due when the work is finished.

What the warranty covers

If a lens I sealed clouds or yellows again within twelve months of the service date, I'll redo it and you don't pay again.

It doesn't cover physical damage — rock chips, cracked or broken housings, or moisture inside the assembly from a failed factory seal. Those are replacement problems, not restoration problems, and I'll tell you if that's what you have before starting rather than after.

The warranty covers redoing the work. It doesn't extend to other costs.

Getting the work done

The job takes about two hours and happens wherever the vehicle is parked. I bring my own power and water — you don't need to supply anything. I'll need access to the vehicle and enough room to work around the front of it.

The coating has to go onto a dry lens and cure, so rain moves the appointment unless there's a garage or carport. Either of us can reschedule; just say so as early as you can.

Some lenses are past restoring. If yours is one of them I'll say so and won't take the job — I'd rather turn down work than sell you something that won't hold.

Honest limits

Restoration is not replacement. AAA laboratory testing measured restored headlights at roughly 70% of the light output of new ones, against about 20% for weathered lenses. That's a real improvement and it is not factory output. If you need factory output, you need new housings.

Results vary with the vehicle, the age of the lens and how far the damage has gone.

Text messaging terms

Texting 843-261-5780 starts a conversation and is your consent to be texted back. Messages are one-to-one replies about your job: quotes, scheduling, arrival windows and your before-and-after photos.

Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply and message frequency varies. Carriers aren't liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. The privacy policy has the detail.

Photos of your car

Every job gets a before-and-after photo, and I may use those photos to show the work — on this site, or when I'm standing in front of someone asking for a job. They show headlights, not license plates or people. If you'd rather I didn't use yours, say so and I won't.

Questions or problems

Text or call 843-261-5780. If something isn't right, tell me before you tell the internet — I'd rather fix it. These terms are governed by the laws of the state where the work was performed.
