Tips for Mechanics
- List parts and labour separately on every invoice — it is industry standard and builds trust with customers.
- Include the vehicle registration, make, model, and odometer reading on all invoices and work orders.
- Provide a written quote before starting any repair over $100 — it is a legal requirement in several states.
- Keep work orders filed by vehicle rego for easy retrieval when customers return for follow-up service.
Compliance Notes
- Motor vehicle repairer licence is required in most states.
- Written estimates must be provided for repairs over the state threshold.
- GST registration is mandatory at $75,000 turnover.
- Consumer guarantees under Australian Consumer Law apply to parts and labour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Must a mechanic provide a written quote before starting work?
In most states, a mechanic must provide a written quote or estimate if the repair will exceed a specified amount (e.g., $100 in Victoria). The customer must authorise the work before you begin.
How should a mechanic invoice for warranty work?
Invoice the parts manufacturer or warranty provider directly, referencing the warranty claim number. The customer invoice should show the work done with a $0 balance if fully covered, or list the gap amount if partially covered.
What records should a mechanic keep?
Keep copies of all invoices, quotes, work orders, and parts purchase orders for at least five years. Vehicle-specific records should include rego, VIN, odometer readings, and a description of all work performed.
