Start free

Key takeaways

  1. Every invoice splits parts and labour, so the customer sees the part, the price and the hours.
  2. Warranty terms logged in the job notes at handover, so a callback weeks later has an answer.
  3. Jobs scheduled by location, so the day runs as a route rather than a scramble.
  4. Each customer keeps their vehicle and service history, so the second job starts with the first.
  5. Free under 20 jobs a month, then $25 a month including two users.

Built for how mobile mechanics actually work#

  • Parts and labour, plainly. Separate line items on every invoice. The customer sees the part, the price and the hours, which is most of what a payment dispute is actually about.
  • Warranty logged at handover. Put the warranty terms on parts and labour in the job notes when you hand the keys back. When they ring in six weeks you can see what is still covered.
  • A day that runs as a route. You work across a whole city. Jobs scheduled by location mean the day is a sensible run rather than a zig-zag.

How a mobile mechanic's job runs in Chippie#

A mobile mechanic's office is the van. You quote a repair in someone's driveway, order or fit the parts, and you need the customer to see exactly what they are paying for before they will hand over the keys, or the cash.

  1. Quote in the driveway

    Parts and labour itemised on the phone, so the customer can see the part, the price and the hours before they agree.

  2. Approved becomes a job

    The quote turns into a job and an invoice automatically, with no re-keying.

  3. Work the route

    Jobs are scheduled by location, so a day across the city runs as a sensible route.

  4. Log the warranty at handover

    Warranty terms on parts and labour go in the job notes when you hand the keys back.

  5. Invoice on the spot

    Sent the moment the job is done, itemised the way it was quoted.

Warranty is where mobile mechanics get caught out, because the promise is made in a driveway and the callback comes six weeks later. Writing it on the job at handover is a thirty-second habit that settles the whole conversation.

Mobile mechanics: your questions#

Can I split parts and labour on an invoice?
Yes, as separate line items on every invoice. The customer sees the part, the price and the hours, which is most of what a payment dispute is about.
Can I record warranty terms against a job?
Yes, in the job notes at handover. When the customer rings back you can see what you promised on the parts and on the labour.
Can I schedule my day by location?
Yes. Jobs carry their address and can be scheduled so the day runs as a route rather than in the order the calls came in.
Does Chippie keep a service history per vehicle?
It keeps a full history per customer: every quote, job and invoice you have done for them. Record the vehicle on the job and the second visit starts with everything from the first.
