Brake Repair Invoice Template

A brake repair invoice documents brake system work including pad or shoe replacement, rotor machining or replacement, caliper service, brake fluid, and comprehensive safety inspection. Create professional brake service invoices with NetInvoice's free template for complete brake repairs.

Why this invoice template matters

Brake repair is safety-critical work requiring detailed documentation for liability protection. Clear invoices separate pads from rotors, show labor for each axle, and document brake fluid condition and replacement. This transparency helps customers understand why proper brake service costs more than just slapping on pads - rotors, hardware, and fluid service ensure safe braking. Good invoicing also documents measurements (rotor thickness, pad depth) and provides warranty coverage that protects both shop and customer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does brake repair cost?
Brake pad replacement costs $150-$300 per axle (labor + pads). Add rotor replacement ($40-$80 each rotor), caliper service ($150-$200 each), brake fluid flush ($80-$120). Premium pads and rotors cost 30-50% more.
Should brake invoices separate pads, rotors, and labor?
Yes, itemize pads by quality level, rotors (machined vs replaced), hardware kits, and labor separately. This transparency shows customers exactly what they're getting and justifies premium parts pricing.
How do you charge for brake rotor machining versus replacement?
Rotor machining costs $30-$50 per rotor if within thickness specs. Replacement costs $40-$80 per rotor plus additional labor. Always measure and document rotor thickness to justify recommendation.
Should brake fluid flush be included in brake jobs?
Brake fluid should be flushed every 2-3 years regardless of brake work. Bill separately ($80-$120) and document fluid condition (color, moisture content). Contaminated fluid can damage new brake components.
