Prepaying for repairs
We had a lightening strike on our boat last June. We got a repair estimate for $15k. We are in the process of scheduling the repair, and the company is asking for full payment (parts&labor) before they start the job.

Is this standard practice?? We’ve never had to prepay before, but we’ve also never had such a big job.

Our big fear is getting scammed.

Your thought please…

TIA
