Custom Auto Repair Invoicing

Budget: $10 - $30

I need a straightforward way to issue professional invoices for every mechanical repair that leaves my workshop. Each invoice has to capture three things without fail: the vehicle’s details, a clear breakdown of the repair work, and an itemised list of all parts used.

The workflow must be flexible. Sometimes I will key the data in myself through a clean, browser-based form; other times the system should pull completed-job information from a repair database or API trigger and build the invoice automatically. Either path must finish with a neatly formatted PDF (and an editable record) that I can email or print on the spot.

Essentials you will deliver: • Routine or script that ingests repair data and generates the same invoice automatically • Template that lays out vehicle details, repair notes, parts and pricing in a workshop-friendly design • PDF/print output plus a way to save or export the underlying data for bookkeeping

Accuracy and speed matter more than fancy graphics. Suggest the stack you work fastest in—whether that’s PHP/Laravel, Node, Python, or a lightweight no-code tool—along with any libraries you plan to use for PDF generation and data storage. The finished solution should install on a typical LAMP/VPS or equivalent, run in the browser, and be simple enough for a mechanic to use without extra training.
