    • Vehicle year/make/model/VIN
    • Part numbers + warranty
    • Signed repair authorization
    • Parts vs labor split
    • Estimate-vs-actual approval

    Auto repair shop invoice FAQ

    Do I charge sales tax on auto repair work?

    Most US states tax parts/materials but exempt labor. Use Glo Invoice's per-line tax toggle so each auto repair line item is taxed correctly. Check your state — a few (HI, NM, SD, WV) tax services too.

    Should I require deposits?

    Yes — 50% deposit on parts orders over $300. Glo Invoice supports partial payments.

    How do I bill warranty work?

    List all items, zero-out warranty-covered lines, and reference the warranty claim number.
