Invoicing is important for both your automotive repair shop and your customers. It’s a record of sale and services provided that can also act as a reminder for a customer’s next service, show future service recommendations, and offer an opportunity for promotional material. Invoices are a final way to document work done and explain to the customer which services their vehicle needed and why. Building an invoice unique to your repair shop can open up opportunities to prolong the relationship between shop and customer. That said, what information should be included on your auto shop’s invoices?

## Elements That Your Auto Shop Invoice Should Include

Whether you include all, some, or none of these features, the experts at BOLT ON TECHNOLOGY suggest these invoice elements are “must-haves” for total customer transparency and communication as well as shop protection and accountability.

- **Vehicle mileage in and out of the shop**
- **All findings from their digital vehicle inspection**
- **Any measurements (such as brakes and tires)**
- **Information on what was done during the visit, including anything added to the ticket after the initial estimate was created**
- **Any work that was recommended and NOT done**
- **Recommendations about what needs to be done in the future**
- **The date of the next service appointment**

## Adding Car Repair Software to Your Repair Shop

With a [digital inspection software](https://www.boltontechnology.com/products/inspections/), you can expand the amount of information you automatically plug into an invoice. With a few simple clicks, your prebuilt invoices will always include the same relevant information.

For Mitchell users, Jump Start can help you improve your business by making you more efficient. Jump Start gives your shop categories and canned jobs that can be used for service recommendations. You can also include repair descriptions right in your invoice so customers have a thorough understanding of the work you did.

For everyone else, Report Pro is a multi-tool designed for growth and profitability. Report Pro allows you to build an invoice that includes highlighted technician recommendations for the customer’s next visit, as well as offer customers coupons based on their vehicle’s needs. This feature helps remind customers of the services they need and prepares them for the cost of service in advance.
