Code of Ethics
The Debbie Helps Florida Code of Ethics
Every business listed in the directory signs this before it is published.
- Quote it before you touch it. Give the customer a clear price or a written estimate before work starts, and say what is and is not included.
- Charge what you quoted. No surprise add-ons. If the job changes, ask first and get the customer's okay before the price does.
- Treat the vehicle like it's yours. Note existing damage at drop-off, protect interiors and finishes, and return the vehicle the way you'd want yours back.
- Say what a product really does. Be straight about how long a coating, film or treatment lasts and what upkeep it needs. Put any warranty in writing.
- Hold the licenses and insurance your work requires. Carry every license, registration and insurance policy Florida and your local government require for what you do.
- Respect the customer's time and property. Show up when you said, keep the customer informed, and leave their driveway, garage or slip clean.
- Handle complaints honestly. Listen, make it right where you were wrong, and never pressure, threaten or retaliate over a review.
- Compete fairly. No fake reviews, no bait-and-switch pricing, no running down a competitor with claims you can't back up.
A business that breaks the Code can be removed from the directory. If a listed business didn't live up to it, tell us.
