Car servicing, priced by the job not the hour

What makes a garage different

Most services have a price before anyone looks at the car, the bay is the bottleneck, and the cost of the parts decides whether the job made money. The variation happens mid-job, which is exactly where a written quote stops helping.

How JoQuote handles it

Each service or package is a price-book item. The customer books a slot and sees the price; the work arrives as a job. Parts go on as costs, labour goes on as lines, and the invoice shows what the job actually was.

What you get

• Fixed-price services and packages
• Parts recorded as costs against the job
• Extra work quoted and approved as a new version
• Payment taken by card or on account

Questions

What if the job needs more than the package?

You add lines and send the new total; the customer approves the version they were shown.

Can I see what a job actually earned?

Yes — parts and labour are both on the job, so the invoice minus its costs is the answer.
