Invoice Koi

Invoicing for garage door technicians

A garage door goes wrong in a way the customer cannot see. They know it will not lift; you know it is a broken torsion spring, and that the cables should go at the same time because they are the same age. The invoice has to make that case, which means the parts have to be visible on it rather than folded into a repair charge.

What garage door technicians
put on an invoice.

These go in your price book once, with your own prices against them. After that a line is one tap: the item, the description, the unit and the price fill themselves, and the totals resolve underneath.

Prices are yours. Invoice Koi ships a handful of round placeholder lines to start from and never fills your book with figures you did not set.

02Why garage door technicians use it

Three things that
save the evening.

Signed off on the drive

The customer signs the finished document on the phone with a finger, and the signature prints on the PDF they keep. It is agreed while you are both standing in front of the door.

The part is not hidden in the labor

Group the spring and the cables under parts and the fitting under labor, each with its own subtotal, so the price reads as two decisions rather than one number to argue with.

Quote the motor, bill the repair

An estimate for a new operator can sit alongside the repair that got them through the week. When they say yes in a month, it converts to an invoice with the lines and the terms carried across.

03 · Questions

Asked by garage door technicians.

Can I quote for a new door and invoice the repair separately?

Yes. They are two documents for the same client. The estimate waits until it is accepted and converts then; the repair invoice goes out today.

How do I price a spring that comes in two sizes?

Keep both in the price book as their own lines with their own prices, and pick the one you fitted. Nothing has to be retyped on the driveway.

Does the customer need to be there to sign?

No. A signature is optional. Without one the document is still a complete invoice with your business details, the lines and the total on it.
