Garage and vehicle workshop

Job cards, parts, road tests and the paperwork that follows a car through a workshop from booking in to handing back.

A car comes in, changes hands four times inside the building and goes out again, and the only thing holding that together is the job card. These are the sheets around it: the check before the test, the parts that went on, the road test, the keys. No service intervals, no torque figures and no pass marks — those come from the manufacturer's data and the scheme you test under.

Sheets in Garage and vehicle workshop

Air Conditioning Regas Record

Keep the regas machine's own record in step with the job cards, so a comeback can be traced to what actually went into that car and when.

GV-01 1 page

Air Line and Compressor Check Sheet

Turn the compressor from the thing nobody looks at into a routine round with a date against it, so water in the receiver and a fraying hose get caught early.

GV-02 1 page

Bodyshop Damage and Repair Sheet

Separate what the car arrived with from what was claimed for, and keep the actual hours and materials against each stage so the invoice and the estimate can be compared honestly.

GV-03 2 pages

Brake Measurement Record

Show a customer or a fleet manager the actual figures behind an advisory, and see at the next visit how much has worn since the last one.

GV-04 1 page

Cambelt and Major Service Record

Put the part numbers, the timing checks and the next-due figures on one sheet that goes in the customer's file, so a warranty query or a resale question has an answer.

GV-05 1 page

Courtesy Car Loan Record

Stop the courtesy car being the part of the job that costs the garage money, by getting the damage, the fuel and the terms on paper before the keys go.

GV-06 2 pages

Diagnostic Fault Code Record

Turn a diagnostic session into a record the next technician can pick up. It also gives the customer something better than 'it had a code'.

GV-07 1 page

Garage Consumables Stock Sheet

Stop the job that stalls because the right oil grade or a box of gloves ran out, by counting the shelf against a minimum you set yourself.

GV-08 1 page

Garage Daily Takings and Job Summary

See the day as one page — what went through, what was carried over, what was taken in cash and card and whether the till agrees — before it blurs into the week.

GV-09 1 page

Mobile Mechanic Visit Sheet

Get the job, the parts and the sign-off on paper while the customer is still standing on the driveway, instead of reconstructing it in the van later.

GV-10 1 page

Oil and Fluid Dispense Log

See where the oil actually went. Reconcile what was sold on invoices against what left the dispense point.

GV-11 1 page

Paint Mix and Colour Code Record

Repeat a match rather than rediscover it. A comeback can be answered with the exact variant and formula reference that went on the car.

GV-12 1 page

Parts Order and Fitting Record

Know at a glance whether a part is in yet, who fitted it, and where the old one went. The customer who asks for it back gets an answer.

GV-13 1 page

Ramp and Lift Inspection Record

Catch a weeping cylinder or a lock that does not engage before the car is in the air. Keep a trail of what was found and who cleared it.

GV-14 1 page

Technician Time and Labour Sheet

Trace the hours on an invoice back to the hours on the floor, and see where the unpaid time in a week actually goes.

GV-15 1 page

Tyre Fitting and Balance Record

Show, months later, which tyre went where and what it was torqued and inflated to. The source of those figures is on the sheet too.

GV-16 1 page

Vehicle Battery Test Record

Show a returning customer what their battery tested at last time. Keep a record of the advice given whether or not they took it.

GV-17 1 page

Vehicle Intake and Condition Record

Get the condition of the car agreed and signed before it goes anywhere. A scratch found at handback then has a record to be checked against.

GV-20 1 page

Vehicle Key and Handover Log

Know whose pocket a missing key is in, and prove which set went back with which car when two of the same model were in on the same day.

GV-21 1 page

Vehicle Recovery and Tow Record

Settle 'that scratch was not there when you collected it' with a signed condition note taken before the vehicle went on the bed.

GV-22 1 page

Vehicle Road Test Sheet

Turn 'took it round the block, seemed fine' into a record of what was actually tried, on what road, by whom — before the car goes back to its owner.

GV-23 1 page

Vehicle Test Pre-Check Sheet

Find the blown bulb, the split wiper and the empty washer bottle before the tester does, so the car goes in once instead of twice.

GV-24 2 pages

Vehicle Valeting Job Sheet

Agree what is included and what was already scratched before the first bucket is filled, so the handover is a signature rather than an argument.

GV-25 1 page

Vehicle Workshop Job Card

Keep one piece of paper with the car from booking in to handing back, so the invoice is built from what was actually done rather than from memory.

GV-26 2 pages

Warranty Claim Job Record

Get a warranty claim accepted first time by having the old part, the fault code, the mileage and the provider's labour time all on one page.

GV-27 2 pages

Wheel Alignment Record

Keep the alignment result after the rig's printout has faded, with the manufacturer's figures written beside your own so the sheet stands alone.

GV-29 1 page

Workshop Bay Booking Sheet

Put the day on one sheet the counter and the floor can both read, so a ramp is never double-booked and a car never waits all day for a part.

GV-30 1 page

Battery Charging Area Check Sheet

Keep the charging area safe week after week, not only on the day it was set up. Charging gives off a flammable gas, so ventilation and ignition sources come first.

GV-31 1 page

Oil Analysis Sample and Results Log

Turn single lab reports into a trend you can read, sample after sample, on one machine. A rising wear metal or a trace of coolant is far easier to spot against its own history.

GV-32 2 pages

Jack, Axle Stand and Engine Crane Check

Catch a weeping jack or a bent axle stand before somebody is lying under it. Each item gets a line, so anything taken out of use is on record and stays out of use.

GV-33 1 page

Tyre Changer and Wheel Balancer Maintenance Log

Keep both machines doing their job between service visits, with the upkeep on paper. A dry lubricator or a balancer out of calibration shows in the work long before anyone checks the machine.

GV-34 2 pages

Spray Booth Daily and Weekly Check Log

Show the booth was checked before spraying started, every day it was used. Negative pressure and clean filters are what keep the overspray inside the booth.

GV-35 2 pages

ADAS Calibration Record

Show which driver assistance sensors were checked, calibrated and proved after the repair. The sheet stays with the job, with the equipment printout attached.

GV-36 1 page

High-Voltage Vehicle Isolation Record

Record that the high-voltage system was locked off and proved dead before anyone worked on it. It also records that the system was put back safely, by whom and when.

GV-37 1 page

Damaged Electric Vehicle Holding Record

Keep a damaged electric vehicle under watch from arrival until it leaves the site. A damaged battery can get worse after the event, so every check is written down.

GV-38 2 pages

Compression and Leak-Down Test Record

See the state of every cylinder at a glance, and how it has changed since the last test. A low reading means more once you know where the air is escaping.

GV-39 1 page

Engine Rebuild Measurement Sheet

Keep every measurement from an engine rebuild on one sheet, against the spec you built to. The figures are the proof the engine was built right, and the starting point if it ever comes apart again.

GV-40 2 pages

Carburettor Tuning and Jetting Record

Know which carburettor setting worked best, and get back to it when something changes. One change per line, with the conditions, shows what each change actually did.

GV-41 2 pages

Tyre Hotel Storage Record

Know whose wheels are on which rack and what state they went in, before the customer is back. A condition signed for at drop-off is what answers a question about a kerbed rim six months later.

GV-42 1 page
