    What is a brake shop invoice?

    An brake shop invoice is the bill you send a customer AFTER the work is done. It lists every part, labor charge, and tax, and tells the customer what they owe and how to pay.

    What every brake shop invoice should include

    • Pad thickness measurements
    • Rotor min-spec check
    • Fluid moisture test
    • Bed-in instructions
    • Warranty (life-of-pad)

    Brake shop invoice FAQ

    Do I charge sales tax on brake repair work?

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

    Should I always replace rotors?

    If under min-spec, mandatory. Otherwise customer's call — document refusal.

    Are ceramic pads worth it?

    Less dust, quieter, lasts longer. Offer as the upsell line item.
