In the event that a determination is made that the actual charges for the repairs to be made will exceed the total written estimate for repairs given under section 158.30, by the sum of ten (10) per cent of the total written estimate, the customer shall be immediately notified by telephone, telegram, mail or written notice of the new estimate charges. Such notification shall be at the expense of the person engaged in the business of making repairs. A customer so notified may authorize the repairs based upon the new estimate charges or may cancel the order for repairs. When the repairs are authorized a revised estimate shall be provided the customer; provided, the parties may agree that the repair work may commence prior to receipt of the revised estimate. If the order for repair is canceled by the customer the unrepaired or partially repaired item shall be released immediately, in reasonable like condition as and where received for repair and upon payment of whatever charge is imposed for the release of the unrepaired item in an amount not to exceed the estimate therefor, as provided in section 158.30 if such estimate was included in the written estimate of repairs.
