What this template covers

  • The call-out fee and the scan before any repair, as their own lines
  • Brakes per axle, parts and labor apart
  • Labor per hour, so book time and actual time are easy to compare
  • Add-on parts with the approval written in the detail
  • A spot for VIN and mileage, which you'll want for the warranty

From the driver's seat, tell Redline "invoice Chris Alvarez $777.89 for the battery and front brakes". It drafts one amount with a one-line description. Approve it, copy the pay link to his phone, and he pays by card before you close the hood.

File the parts store receipt against the job as an expense, and Reports shows what the call made after parts. Redline doesn't decode VINs or look up parts, so keep those in your notes.
