How to price it

  1. 1

    Labour by book time

    Price labour from the standard time for the job, not the time it took last time. Customers trust a number they can compare.

  2. 2

    Parts with a short validity

    Parts prices move week to week. Keep the validity short, 7 to 14 days, and confirm before you order.

  3. 3

    Get approval before the work

    A signed or accepted estimate before you open the engine ends “I never agreed to that”.

Send it from your phone, invoice with one tap

Wow Invoice turns this template into a 1-minute estimate: pick the design, add your logo, tap your saved items, and send it by text or email. When the client says yes, one tap turns it into the invoice.

Questions

Why should a mechanic give a written estimate?

The customer approves the price before you start, and in many places the law requires it. If you find more work, send a new estimate before you do it.

Is this auto repair estimate template free?

Yes. Download the PDF example for free. The Wow Invoice app is free to download too, and makes estimates and invoices on your phone.

How does my client accept the estimate?

You send it from the app by text or email, and the client signs it to say yes. Then you turn it into an invoice with one tap.

Can I turn the estimate into an invoice?

Yes. When the client says yes, turn the estimate into an invoice with one tap, with the same items and prices.
