Automotive locksmith invoice FAQ
Do I charge sales tax on automotive locksmith work?
Most US states tax parts/materials but exempt labor. Use Glo Invoice's per-line tax toggle so each automotive locksmith line item is taxed correctly. Check your state — a few (HI, NM, SD, WV) tax services too.
What if they don't have ID?
Decline the job. Liability is too high. Document refusal.
Can I program any key?
Most pre-2020. Some Tesla/BMW/Mercedes require dealer tools — disclose first.
