Bookkeeping for auto workshops and garages
Garages make money on labour and parts — and lose it on unbilled jobs, missing stock and cash that never reaches the bank. We reconcile job cards to invoices, track parts stock and keep your VAT and payroll in order.
Common challenges we fix
- Job cards not matched to invoices and payments
- Parts stock that doesn't match what was used
- Cash and card takings that don't reach the bank
- Insurance company receivables paid late or short
What we handle for you
- Job cards reconciled to sales invoices
- Parts purchases and stock tracked by supplier
- Daily cash and card sales reconciled to the bank
- Insurance receivables followed up and reconciled
- Mechanic payroll and WPS
- Quarterly VAT returns
Frequently asked questions
How should I record parts and labour on invoices?
Showing parts and labour separately helps you see margins on each. Both are normally subject to 5% VAT. We set up your invoice template and accounts so each is tracked.
Insurance companies pay me late. How do you handle that?
We keep a running statement for each insurer, match payments to claims and flag short payments, so you know exactly what's outstanding.
