# Auto repair estimate template

Build a clear itemized estimate with customer, vehicle, parts, labor, and approval details. Fill it in, then print it or save it as a PDF.

## Use this resource

1.  Add one line for each part or labor operation.
2.  Describe the work in terms the customer can understand.
3.  Record approval before work starts and record later changes separately.

## Before you use it

Check your state and local rules before using this template. Estimate and authorization requirements vary.

## Research behind the fields

The field set follows practical guidance from the [Federal Trade Commission](https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0211-auto-repair-basics) and the [California Bureau of Automotive Repair](https://www.bar.ca.gov/wir). These sources help identify useful records. They do not make this resource compliant in every location.

## Keep the full repair together.

Brinlo keeps the estimate, approval, job status, inspection evidence, invoice, payments, and service history connected.
