Garage workflow checklistHow to run a garage day without losing the thread.

A practical check-in, job, billing and collections checklist for a single-location workshop.

The simple model

Keep one source record for each vehicle visit. Let that job record carry the work into an invoice, then attach each collection to the invoice. The owner can read the unfinished work and unpaid balances without reconstructing the day from separate notebooks.

  • 01 · Check in
  • 02 · Do the work
  • 03 · Invoice
  • 04 · Collect

At check-in

  • Can staff find a returning vehicle by registration or mobile?
  • Is there one clear open job record for this visit?
  • Can the next person see what work was requested?

Before the invoice

  • Do service and part lines match the completed work?
  • Are the customer, state and GST details correct?
  • Is the invoice series ready for the current financial year?

Before closing the day

  • Were cash, UPI and card receipts entered against invoices?
  • Which invoices remain part paid or unpaid?
  • Which jobs are still waiting or in a bay?

The 60-second bill

The short path, when the work is already known.

A quick bill is not a shortcut around the records. It is the same job, lines and invoice in one screen, for the counter when the customer is waiting.

Try the four moves. The timer is a pace guide; the real app does the writes and calculates the tax on the server.

Four moves. One bill.
