6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

6.1 Overview. This Contract imposes special restrictions on how the Client and the Coach must handle confidential information. These obligations are explained in this section.

6.2 The Client's Confidential Information. While working for the Client, the Coach may come across, or be given, Client information that is confidential. This is information like customer lists, business strategies, research & development notes, statistics about a website, and other information that is private. The Coach promises to treat this information as if it is the Coach's own confidential information. The Coach may use this information to do its job under this Contract, but not for anything else. For example, if the Client lets the Coach use a customer list to send out a newsletter, the Coach cannot use those email addresses for any other purpose. The one exception to this is if the Client gives the Coach written permission to use the information for another purpose, the Coach may use the information for that purpose, as well. When this Contract ends, the Coach must give back or destroy all confidential information, and confirm that it has done so. The Coach promises that it will not share confidential information with a third party, unless the Client gives the Coach written permission first. The Coach must continue to follow these obligations, even after the Contract ends. The Coach's responsibilities only stop if the Coach can show any of the following: (i) that the information was already public when the Coach came across it; (ii) the information became public after the Coach came across it, but not because of anything the Coach did or didn't do; (iii) the Coach already knew the information when the Coach came across it and the Coach didn't have any obligation to keep it secret; (iv) a third party provided the Coach with the information without requiring that the Coach keep it a secret; or (v) the Coach created the information on its own, without using anything belonging to the Client.

6.3 Third-Party Confidential Information. It's possible the Client and the Coach each have access to confidential information that belongs to third parties. The Client and the Coach each promise that it will not share with the other party confidential information that belongs to third parties, unless it is allowed to do so. If the Client or the Coach is allowed to share confidential information with the other party and does so, the sharing party promises to tell the other party in writing of any special restrictions regarding that information.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Neither party is liable for breach-of-contract damages that the breaching party could not reasonably have foreseen when it entered this Contract.

8. INDEMNITY.

8.1 Overview. This section transfers certain risks between the parties if a third party sues or goes after the Client or the Coach or both. For example, if the Client gets sued for something that the Coach did, then the Coach may promise to come to the Client's defense or to reimburse the Client for any losses.

8.2 Client Indemnity. In this Contract, the Coach agrees to indemnify the Client (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of: (i) the work the Coach has done under this Contract; (ii) a breach by the Coach of its obligations under this Contract; or (iii) a breach by the Coach of the promises it is making in Section 3 (Representations).

8.3 Coach Indemnity. In this Contract, the Client agrees to indemnify the Coach (and its affiliates and their directors, officers, employees, and agents) from and against liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) related to a third-party claim or proceeding arising out of a breach by the Client of its obligations under this Contract.

9. GENERAL.

9.1 Assignment​. This Contract applies only to the Client and the Coach. Neither the Client nor the Coach can assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Contract to a third-party (other than by will or intestate), without first receiving the other's written permission.

9.2 Arbitration. As the exclusive means of initiating adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising under this Contract, a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules.

9.3 Modification; Waiver. To change anything in this Contract, the Client and the Coach must agree to that change in writing and sign a document showing their contract. Neither party can waive its rights under this Contract or release the other party from its obligations under this Contract, unless the waiving party acknowledges it is doing so in writing and signs a document that says so.

9.4. Noticies.

(a) Over the course of this Contract, one party may need to send a notice to the other party. For the notice to be valid, it must be in writing and delivered in one of the following ways: personal delivery, email, or certified or registered mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested). The notice must be delivered to the party's address listed at the end of this Contract or to another address that the party has provided in writing as an appropriate address to receive notice.

(b) The timing of when a notice is received can be very important. To avoid confusion, a valid notice is considered received as follows: (i) if delivered personally, it is considered received immediately; (ii) if delivered by email, it is considered received upon acknowledgement of receipt; (iii) if delivered by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), it is considered received upon receipt as indicated by the date on the signed receipt. If a party refuses to accept notice or if notice cannot be delivered because of a change in address for which no notice was given, then it is considered received when the notice is rejected or unable to be delivered. If the notice is received after 5:00pm on a business day at the location specified in the address for that party, or on a day that is not a business day, then the notice is considered received at 9:00am on the next business day.

9.5 Severability. This section deals with what happens if a portion of the Contract is found to be unenforceable. If that's the case, the unenforceable portion will be changed to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that change is not permitted by law, in which case the portion will be disregarded. If any portion of the Contract is changed or disregarded because it is unenforceable, the rest of the Contract is still enforceable.

9.6 Signatures. The Client and the Coach must sign this document using Bonsai's e-signing system. These electronic signatures count as originals for all purposes.

9.7 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this document shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America.

9.8 Entire Contract. This Contract represents the parties' final and complete understanding of this job and the subject matter discussed in this Contract. This Contract supersedes all other contracts (both written and oral) between the parties.

As an auto repair business owner, updating your knowledge of auto repair invoice templates is one of the first things you should concern yourself with. Not only does that help to establish professionalism, but it also strengthens your brand identity.

Drafting and sending professional invoices using an auto repair invoice template might seem like something only a financial expert should handle using expensive accounting software, but that's not always the case; anyone can learn to draft an invoice themselves. 

So, how can you create your professional invoice? This piece will answer that, as well as quick invoicing steps, what a billing process is and when you need to issue an invoice. Let's dive right in!

What Is an Auto Repair Invoice Template?

Auto repair businesses and auto body services owners are in charge of both repairs and payment terms. To make payment easy, you need professional invoices and this is where the auto repair invoice or body shop invoice template comes in.

The auto repair invoice template is a document that you issue to your clients. It shows the total sum of money they should pay for an oil change, engine repair, or general car maintenance service you offered.

In most auto repair shops, vehicles are not released until the car owner fulfills the terms of the invoice. Hence, you mustn't leave out any information in the invoice template; all items such as materials, labor, parts, and delivery fees should be duly included. Also, give room for any changes.

When to Issue an Auto Repair Invoice

An invoice is meant to come just after a service has been carried out. This means you shouldn't give out an invoice before you start working on the car. 

An auto repair invoice should be given as soon as a car owner comes for their car. The invoice, in this case, will serve as proof that the job has been done, and the customer will be free to take their car once you collect payment. 

How Can I Create a Customized Auto Repair Invoice?

Creating an auto repair invoice is simple and can be done with a predesigned template; all you will need is to fill in your information. A simple google search with the keyword " Free Auto Repair Invoice" will bring up different free auto repair invoice template options for you to choose from. 

Below are the steps to customizing your auto repair invoice templates:

  • Download a free Auto Repair Invoice Template and select your desired format i.e google docs, google sheets, PDF, etc.
  • Upload your business or brand logo (not all free templates have this feature). 
  • Add your name, contact details, and business name in the appropriate section. 
  • Highlight all the services that you provided along with how many hours you spent and the unit price of each service.
  • Fill in the client's details and street address in the appropriate section.
  • Indicate an acceptable method of payment.
  • Outline all the necessary terms and conditions
  • If there is a need for a privacy policy, you can also include it.
  • Conclude with a few lines of a personal message (you can recommend future auto maintenance services in this section)
  • Save and send the auto repair invoice using via the client's email.

Note, that your auto repair invoice template should contain important information like; due date, hourly rate, and total price.

Types of Auto Repair Invoice Template

This is a crucial factor to consider before you draft an invoice. Make sure that the invoice you are using tallies with the services you provide and your desired payment method. The following and some free invoice template types most auto repair business owners use:

  • Hourly
  • Contract
  • Hourly
  • Project-based
  • Deposit
  • Service plan

Each auto repair work invoice must have the company name, business info, a brief description, customer information, vehicle information, invoice number, tax calculations, and in some cases, insurance information.

How to Bill Auto Repair Services

Some steps to follow when charging for your auto repair services include:

Agree on a Fixed Price with the Client

This is the first thing to do; you should do this before starting work. As a standard, many auto repair businesses set their prices most times to cover everything that went into the repairs of the customer's car.

In some cases, a client may complain about the cost of your services. What to do on such occasions? you two can negotiate a price

In all, you must strive to impress your clients, and being flexible is one of the surest ways to do this. If a good number of your clients end up being happy with your services, there's a high chance that you will gain valuable referrals from them.

List Out The Replacement Parts

In this step, you outline all the auto parts you intend to replace while working on the job. Running an analysis will help to provide you with a clear view of everything that can make the repair process smoother.

For example, an aluminum car part would cost more than steel. Due to that, you want to avoid making random guesses. Avoid doing guesswork.

Consider the Cost of Licensing and Insurance

Beyond your expert skills, what makes you stand out as an auto repairer is the various licenses, liability insurance, and registered trademarks that improves credibility.

Now, acquiring these licenses isn't exactly cheap. That's why you should factor them when costing your services, especially if you are required to constantly pay for them. You can create a customized invoice for this purpose. 

Cross Check the Invoice 

Great invoices are often vetted for correctness before they are issued out. One more look at your invoice enables you to see that the total amount, client's email, and other important details that ordinarily would have been overlooked are all error-free.

Finally, do a follow-up to ensure that the invoice gets to the intended customer. 

Final Thoughts

Regardless of the kind of business you do, having a means of creating invoice templates makes a perfect combination with the service that you offer. That said, every auto repair shop needs a system that generates an invoice for every service done on a customer's vehicle. This will help the business to maintain a professional image in the minds of their potential and existing customers.
