Workshop invoice software for Australian mechanics
An invoice is where every minute and every part on the job turns into money. Workshop invoice software builds it straight from the job card so nothing is retyped or forgotten.
What an Australian workshop invoice needs
For the ATO rules on tax invoices, check the ATO website. Our free invoice template covers the basics.
- The words "tax invoice", your business name and ABN, and the date.
- A description of parts and labour, with GST shown.
- Vehicle details (rego, make, model, odometer) so the customer and you have a record.
- Payment terms and a simple way to pay.
Why invoice from the job card
When mechanics add parts and labour to the job card as they work, the invoice is ready when the car is. That stops the end-of-day scramble and the parts that never get charged.
Workshop Hub builds GST invoices from the job, sends them by email (and by text on Shop and Pro+) with a card payment link, and on Shop and Pro+ checks for missed charges before you send.
Sync with your accounting software
Invoices and payments should flow to Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks Online automatically. See accounting for workshops.
FAQ
- Can I take card payments from the invoice?
- Yes. Workshop Hub sends card payment links on every plan, and Shop and Pro+ can send invoices to a Square Terminal.
- Is a printed invoice template enough?
- For a very small shop, maybe. Once you have repeat customers and accounting sync, software saves the retyping.
