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.
Garage and vehicle workshop · GV-30
A free printable garage booking sheet — the day's jobs by time and bay, with the customer, the work booked, the technician, parts in, arrived and done.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
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.
Service receptionists and workshop controllers in independent garages, tyre bays and small dealerships that plan the day on paper.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: The day's bookings on one sheet — which car is on which ramp at what time, what it is in for, who is doing it and whether the parts are on the shelf — so the counter and the floor agree.
Bays, not just bookings. Book the ramp, not just the car. A job with no bay against it is a car parked outside all day. Tick 'parts in' only when they are physically on the shelf, and fill 'arrived' when the keys are on the board, not when the customer rings.
Write-on lines: Workshop · Date · Bays / ramps open · Technicians on
Table, 14 rows: Time · Bay · Reg · Customer / phone · Job booked · Tech · Parts in · Arrived · Done · Waiting?
Because the bay is the thing you run out of. A day with eight bookings and three ramps is fine if they are staggered and hopeless if they are not, and you only see that when the bay is written next to the time.
It is the workshop version. A room booking sheet books a space; this one books a ramp, a technician and parts together, which is what a garage day actually needs.
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.
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.
Keep every booking for a shared space in one visible place, which is the only reliable cure for double bookings.
See every renewal for every vehicle at once, so nothing is discovered the week after it lapsed or the morning a vehicle is needed.
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.
Opens PayPal in a new tab. Any amount, and nothing changes if you would rather not.
