    Muffler & exhaust shop invoice FAQ

    Do I charge sales tax on exhaust repair work?

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

    Are aftermarket cats legal?

    Federally yes; CA requires CARB-EO #. Print the EO # on the invoice.

    Warranty on welds?

    Lifetime on workmanship is standard. Bake it into your reputation.
