Invoice templates for mobile mechanics billing customers for vehicle repairs and servicing at home, work, or roadside locations.
A mobile mechanic invoice is issued by a self-employed mechanic who travels to the customer's vehicle to carry out repairs and servicing on location, rather than at a fixed workshop. Mobile mechanics offer the convenience of home, workplace, or roadside repairs for routine servicing, brakes, clutches, batteries, tyres, and many other repairs that do not require specialist garage equipment. Mobile mechanics are a growing sector in the UK, driven by customer demand for convenience and competitive pricing. By eliminating the overhead of a fixed workshop, mobile mechanics can often charge less than a traditional garage while maintaining professional standards. A mobile mechanic's invoice should clearly show the call-out fee, labour rate, parts, and any travel charge. For roadside breakdown attendance, additional callout rates may apply.
| Service | Typical Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Call-out fee (within local area) | 50 | callout |
| Labour (per hour) | 60 | hour |
| Full service (parts and labour) | 200 | service |
| Battery replacement (supply and fit) | 120 | battery |
| Brake pad replacement (per axle, parts and labour) | 160 | axle |
| Roadside breakdown callout surcharge | 40 | callout |
Issue invoices at the time of the repair, ideally via a mobile app that generates a professional PDF invoice on-site. PayPal, SumUp, and Square card readers make it easy to take payment at the roadside. Keep a clear record of all jobs including date, vehicle registration, work carried out, and parts used. This is essential for your self-assessment tax return and for any warranty claims. For fleet customers and corporate accounts, invoice monthly with a summary of all vehicles attended, work done, and parts fitted. Include vehicle registrations on each line for easy fleet management. State your parts warranty and workmanship guarantee on the invoice or in your terms. Most mobile mechanics offer a 3 to 12-month guarantee on parts and labour, which is similar to a fixed workshop.
