Invoicing tips for auto body shop invoice template

  • Break labor into body, refinish, and frame categories at their separate door rates — insurers audit blended rates.
  • Note whether each part is OEM, aftermarket, or LKQ; carriers reimburse differently and customers ask.
  • List the deductible as its own line so the customer sees exactly what they owe versus the insurer.
  • Document supplements separately with their own approval date rather than rewriting the original estimate.
  • Charge paint and materials by refinish hour using an industry rate guide so the figure is defensible.

Auto Body Shop Invoice Template invoice FAQ

Do I charge sales tax on auto body repairs?

In most US states you charge sales tax on parts, paint, and materials, while pure labor is often exempt. A few states tax the full repair. Itemize taxable parts separately from labor so the tax line is accurate.

How do I invoice when an insurance company pays part of the bill?

Show the full repair total, then list the customer's deductible as a separate line. The carrier pays the balance directly or reimburses the customer — referencing the claim number on the invoice keeps both payments matched.

What's a supplement and how do I bill it?

A supplement covers hidden damage found after the original estimate. Add it as new line items with its own approval date and adjuster reference rather than altering the original estimate.

Should I list aftermarket versus OEM parts?

Yes. Labeling each part OEM, aftermarket, or recycled/LKQ is often required by insurers and protects you if the customer disputes part quality or pricing later.
