Plain-language change summary

The amendments to Bill SB 228 clarify the rules around collision repair estimates for damaged vehicles. Key changes include a shift in wording so that customers need to request a written estimate before repairs begin, rather than automatically receiving one, which gives them more control over costs. Additionally, there's a focus on ensuring that repairs must adhere to the originally provided estimate or a confirmed price quotation. These changes are important as they aim to protect consumers from unexpected costs and ensure transparency in the repair process.
