Why it's laid out like that

The lines follow how the job was actually priced: a call-out or diagnostic fee, labor at an hourly rate or by book time, and parts at your supplied price. Each part is separately checkable, which is the whole point — a customer who can verify the bill pays it.

On completion, at the roadside or the driveway, before you pack up. Mobile repair is a cash-on-completion trade almost everywhere.

Common questions

Should diagnosis be credited against the repair?
Your call, but say which on the invoice. Many mechanics show the diagnostic charge and then discount it visibly as a line when the repair is booked.
How long should a parts warranty be?
Twelve months or 12,000 miles is the common standard for installed parts. Put it on the invoice so there is no argument if the part fails.
Do customer-supplied parts change anything?
Yes — note that you warranty labor only on customer-supplied parts, on the invoice, every time.
