About this example

This example is the invoice an independent garage in Columbus, Ohio, hands a customer when she collects her 2015 Honda Odyssey: an engine warning light traced to a failed ignition coil, the 105,000-mile cambelt and water pump service, and new front brake pads and discs.

A repair invoice has to show the customer what was done to her car and why, so this one is built around the job card. The first line identifies the car by year, model, VIN, registration and mileage in and out, and records when the work was authorised. Each job is its own section, with the labour on standard-time hours, what the technician found, and every part with its part number. Workshop consumables and hazardous waste disposal are listed as fees rather than hidden, and Ohio sales tax applies to the whole invoice, labour included. A vehicle health check page records the results and the work recommended for later with estimates, and the last page covers the warranty, how to pay on collection, the authorisation and old parts, and the customer's signature.

Who it is for

Independent garages, mechanics, tyre and brake centres and mobile mechanics who invoice customers for parts and labour.
