Clear rules for payments, scheduling, diagnostics, and corrections
This page explains how JJ; Corp handles quote requests, scheduling, diagnostics/inspections, repair approvals, cancellations, dispatch/no-access situations, delivery/unload trips, and correction requests. The goal is simple: clear expectations for customers/partners and fair protection for our crew.
What words mean on our site and invoices
- Quote request: Your initial request for service details and pricing.
- Estimate / quote: A job price based on the information provided. Accuracy improves with photos and specifics.
- Diagnostic / inspection: Labor/time used to identify a mechanical issue and determine repair options.
- Repair: Approved work performed after diagnostic/inspection. Payment required before repair work begins.
- Dispatch / no-access: A trip where we cannot work due to access/site conditions (store closed, no manager, locked gate, etc.).
- Delayed: A temporary status used when backlog/weather/access/safety issues push scheduling.
Quote requests & scheduling rules
Quote requests can be submitted any time. Review/approval happens during business hours. We normally communicate in this order: Customer Portal (recommended) → Email → Text → Call.
What to include (so we can quote quickly)
- Exact address + type of location (home/store/shop/warehouse).
- What you need done (clear description).
- Timing (ASAP vs specific date/time window).
- Access rules (gate codes, check-in rules, manager name, receiving rules).
- Photos/videos when relevant.
Scheduling basics
- Scheduling depends on availability, travel distance, job type, access rules, and safety.
- We may schedule a time window (traffic and earlier jobs can shift arrival).
- If conditions change (weather/safety/access), we will notify you.
Accepted payments and general rules
Accepted payment methods
- Debit/Credit (including tap-to-pay).
- Square invoice (online) — payment is completed using the secure invoice link sent by email from [email protected]. The customer portal does not process payments.
- No cash.
General payment rules
- Repairs or additional work are only started after approval and payment is confirmed.
- If a location requires special access rules, the customer/partner must ensure access is available at the scheduled time.
- If a job cannot be performed due to access or site conditions, dispatch/no-access fees may apply.
Security & scam prevention
- JJ; Corp will never request sensitive information by text message or phone call (SSN, full card numbers, banking info, passwords, or one-time codes).
- We do not take card details by text. Online payments are handled through a Square invoice link sent from [email protected].
- We will never ask you to pay by gift cards, crypto, or wire transfer.
- Text verification: Logistics is the primary number that will text customers. If another associate needs to text you, we will post a portal message confirming that associate’s number first.
- If anything feels off, stop and message us through the customer portal (recommended) or email [email protected].
Diagnostic/inspection vs repairs
Mechanic work is handled in two steps: diagnostic/inspection first (when needed), then repairs after you approve the repair quote.
Diagnostics / inspections (not free)
- Diagnostic/inspection is a paid service (labor and time to identify the issue and determine repair options).
- Diagnostic/inspection fee can be collected before or after, but is normally collected after the inspection is completed.
- Diagnostic/inspection is not free, even if repairs are done elsewhere later.
Repairs (payment required before we start)
- Any repairs or changes approved after diagnostic/inspection must be paid before repair work begins.
- If additional issues are discovered, we request approval and payment before continuing.
Automatic diag/repair rule (same-visit only)
If we leave the site for parts/tools/time/schedule reasons, the diagnostic is treated as a completed standalone service and is not credited later.
What we do not offer (mechanic)
- Bodywork or paint.
Cancellations, refunds, and dispatch/no-access
Repair cancellations and refunds
- Cancel within 2 hours: full refund.
- Cancel after 2 hours: no refund.
Dispatch/no-access fee
- If a worker is dispatched or arrives and service cannot be performed due to access/site/customer conditions, a dispatch/no-access fee applies (usually $30).
- Dispatch/no-access fees are not refundable.
- The job can be rescheduled for another day based on availability.
Common no-access examples
- Store closed or manager not available for check-in.
- Locked gate, wrong address, or access code not provided.
- Unsafe conditions on site.
- Customer not present when required for approval or access.
Construction deposits & site readiness
Construction work requires a ready site and materials. Delays often come from missing materials, access problems, or site not prepared.
Deposits (non-refundable once set)
- Construction jobs may require a deposit to schedule.
- Once a deposit is set and scheduling is confirmed, it is non-refundable.
Site/material readiness
- Customer is responsible for ensuring the site is ready and accessible at the scheduled time.
- If we arrive and cannot begin due to customer readiness/material issues/access problems, a dispatch/no-access fee may apply (usually $30).
Delivery/unload: mileage charges & failed delivery
Delivery/unload jobs are access-dependent. If a location refuses delivery or cannot accept it, the trip still involves miles and labor.
Trip and mileage responsibility
- Delivery/unload jobs are charged by mile and/or agreed job price.
- If delivery cannot be completed due to store refusal, store closed, no manager available, or access rules, the customer/partner is responsible for the trip/miles as scheduled.
- If a second attempt is requested later, a new payment is required for the additional run/miles.
Examples of failed delivery
- No manager available to authorize unload.
- Store closed or cannot accept shipment.
- Dock/receiving rules changed without notice.
- Receiving area blocked / no designated unload area.
Job status and delays
We use simple status steps so customers and partners understand where a request is.
Status timeline
- Submitted → Logistics Approved → Scheduled → In Progress → Completed
- Delayed may appear when backlog, weather, safety, access, or scheduling changes occur.
Communication
- We normally communicate in this order: Portal → Email → Text → Call.
- If your job needs a manager/check-in, keep someone available during the scheduled window.
- If approvals are needed and we cannot reach you, the job may be rescheduled.
Corrections & issue reporting window
If something seems incorrect, report it quickly so we can review documentation while details are fresh.
Reporting window
- Issues must be reported within 72 hours of job completion.
- Provide a clear description and photos if possible.
What happens next
- We review job notes and documentation (including before/after photos).
- If it’s something we can correct and it is appropriate, Operations schedules a correction when available.
Before/after photos and records
For verification and quality control, workers may take before/after photos and notes. These records help confirm what was done and protect both the customer and the crew.
- Photos are used for internal documentation (verification, quality control, and dispute review).
- Photos are stored in our system for job verification.
Common questions (security, payments, scheduling, and fixes)
These are the most common situations we see. If something feels unusual (unexpected texts, payment requests, or urgency), verify it in the customer portal first.
Contact routing (official)

- Jobs / quotes / job status: Logistics (use the quote form first when it’s not an emergency).
- Hiring + manager applications: HR (text preferred).
- Employee complaints: HR.
