Website Terms
Terms and Conditions
By accessing this website, submitting a request or booking a service, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or services.
Permitted Use
Website Use
You may use this website only for lawful personal or business purposes. You must not:
- Submit false, misleading or fraudulent information.
- Attempt to interfere with website operation or security.
- Upload malware, harmful code or unauthorized content.
- Copy or misuse website content without permission.
- Use automated tools to scrape or overload the website.

Pricing
Estimates and Service Pricing
Website pricing, calendar pricing and telephone estimates are provided for guidance unless expressly confirmed as a final written quote.
Final pricing may depend on factors including:
- The volume, weight and type of material.
- Labour and time required.
- Stairs, elevators, parking or restricted access.
- Disassembly or special handling requirements.
- Disposal, recycling or transfer-station fees.

Where practical, the customer will be informed of the final price or any material adjustment before work begins. Additional work requested after approval may result in additional charges.
Scheduling
Bookings, Access and Cancellations
A submitted form does not guarantee an appointment. A booking is confirmed only after Garage Guys accepts the request and provides confirmation.
The customer is responsible for:
- Providing accurate service and contact information.
- Ensuring safe and legal access to the property.
- Obtaining required building, parking or elevator permission.
- Identifying items that must not be removed.
- Disclosing hazardous, unusually heavy or restricted materials.
- Being present or providing authorized access.
Cancellations or rescheduling requests should be made as early as possible. Garage Guys may apply a cancellation, travel or missed-appointment fee when a confirmed booking is cancelled late or access is unavailable.
Garage Guys may reschedule or cancel a service due to weather, unsafe conditions, equipment problems, staffing issues or other circumstances beyond reasonable control.
Restricted Materials
Items We May Refuse to Remove
Garage Guys may refuse any item that is unsafe, illegal, hazardous or outside the agreed service scope. Restricted items may include:
- Asbestos or suspected asbestos-containing material.
- Biohazardous or medical waste.
- Explosives, ammunition or weapons.
- Fuel, propane, chemicals, pesticides or solvents.
- Unknown liquids or hazardous substances.
- Items exceeding safe lifting or transportation limits.
- Materials requiring specialized permits or disposal.
The customer must disclose potentially hazardous items before the appointment.
Transactions
Payments, Deposits and Refunds
Payment is due according to the estimate, invoice or booking terms provided to the customer. Accepted payment methods may be shown during booking or on the invoice.
Deposits may be required for certain services, large projects, special disposal arrangements or floor-coating work. Deposit refundability will be stated before payment.
Refund requests are considered based on the circumstances, work completed, disposal fees incurred, materials ordered and the applicable booking terms. Completed and approved services are generally non-refundable except where required by law.
Property and Ownership
Customer Authorization
By identifying an item for removal, the customer confirms that they own the item or are legally authorized to have it removed. Once items are loaded and removed, Garage Guys may recycle, donate, transfer or dispose of them.
Garage Guys is not responsible for the removal of items that the customer or an authorized representative identified for removal. Customers should inspect the work area before the crew leaves.
Risk
Limitation of Liability
Garage Guys will use reasonable care while performing services. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Garage Guys will not be liable for:
- Pre-existing damage or unsafe property conditions.
- Damage caused by inadequate access or structural weakness.
- Loss of items mistakenly identified or authorized for removal.
- Delays caused by traffic, weather or third parties.
- Indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from website or service use.
- Third-party platforms, payment processors or linked websites.
Nothing in these Terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded under applicable consumer-protection law.
