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.
Garage and vehicle workshop · GV-18
A free printable vehicle delivery sheet for a garage — mileage, fuel, keys and condition agreed and signed when a car is collected and again when returned.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

Settle the 'that mark was not there' conversation before it starts. Mileage and fuel level are proved at both ends of a collection.
Garages, body shops and dealers that collect and return customers' cars, and the driver who does it.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The two handovers that happen away from the counter — picking a car up from the customer and taking it back — with mileage, fuel, keys and condition agreed at each end.

Because the handover happens twice and away from the workshop, with a driver rather than a service adviser. The Vehicle Intake and Condition Record is for a car that arrives at the counter; this one travels with the driver and is signed at the customer's door.
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.
Record the marks that were already on a hire car before you drive it away, so a charge at drop-off is a conversation about evidence rather than about memory.
Never do work nobody authorised, and never argue about whether they did. Every line carries a tick, a name and a time.
Keep a contemporaneous mileage record in the vehicle, which is the kind that stands up, rather than one reconstructed at the year end.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
