How garages create invoices in MOTDesk
Build an invoice from the booking or job card so customer and vehicle details carry through. Add line items for MOT tests, repairs, tyres and workshop services without retyping registration numbers.
Garage invoice software in MOTDesk is part of the wider garage management system — not a standalone billing tool disconnected from your diary.
Parts, labour, MOT and repair charges
Line items can reflect the work on that vehicle: MOT test fee, advisory or failure-related repairs, and general workshop jobs. Attach photos and documents from the job so office staff and technicians share the same record.
- Itemised garage invoice line items
- MOT and repair charges on one invoice
- Documents and photos from the job card
- Invoice status: draft, sent, paid and more
- Vehicle repair invoicing linked to the job
VAT and UK garage billing
Configure VAT handling where your garage requires it on invoices. MOTDesk supports UK garage billing workflows alongside estimates and customer-facing payment links.
Estimates, approvals and workshop invoicing
Send a repair estimate link after a failed MOT. When the customer accepts, convert to an invoice with a Pay Now link. Workshop invoicing software should keep that approval on record before non-MOT work starts.
Stripe payment links and offline payments
When Stripe Connect is connected, customers can pay invoices online. Payouts go to your garage Stripe account; MOTDesk does not hold customer funds. A platform fee applies to online payments processed through MOTDesk.
For counter payments, mark the invoice paid when you take cash or your own card terminal — the platform fee applies to online payments through MOTDesk, not offline takings you record manually.
Invoices connected to vehicle jobs
Every invoice stays tied to the job and booking history — useful when a customer queries a previous MOT, or when you need to invoice additional work on the same visit.
