WHICH WORD?
quote/estimate/quotation
Before asking someone to do a piece of work, for example to repair a vehicle, it is usual to ask them to tell you how much they expect it to cost. They do this by giving you a written estimate or a quotation/quote.
A person giving a quotation/quote often agrees to limit their fee to the amount stated in it.
A person giving an estimate usually keeps the right to change their price if circumstances change, for example if the price of parts rises or the work takes longer than expected.
