What kind of management software do you use? Autoshop by Winworks
Can do either. Single total per labor item or itemized by parts price and included with individual job. When using preformatted final invoice, however, shows all labor items on one side, all parts on other side.

Yes, my Mitchell Manager will print the final reciept and exclude the part #s and labor hours, showing only descriptions with amounts and totals. Not a brief as your example but no part #s or labor hours. But I do have a beef in respect to estimates. The Mitchell program print part #s on estimates and there is no way to circumvent that. I’ve had quite a few examples of customers going to the internet and get prices from else where. Makes selling the job a lot harder.

No. Ours shows everything individualized.

We can do canned jobs, and with a LOT of manipulating make it come out this way, but time consuming… I’m curious if this format satisfies Michigan’s requirement of an itemized invoice?

Absolutely. Contrary to popular myth, the law says nothing about itemized pricing on the final invoice.
MOTOR VEHICLE SERVICE AND REPAIR ACT (EXCERPT)
Act 300 of 1974
257.1334 Written statement required upon return of repaired vehicle.
Sec. 34.
A motor vehicle repair facility, including a gasoline service station which performs any of the repairs listed in the repair categories of certification for specialty mechanics or developed by the administrator by rule, shall give to each customer a written statement upon return of the repaired vehicle to the customer. The statement shall disclose:
(a) Repairs needed, as determined by the facility.
(b) Repairs requested by the customer.
(c) Repairs authorized by the customer.
(d) The facility’s estimate of repair costs.
(e) The actual cost of repairs.
(f) The repairs or services performed, including a detailed identification of all parts that were replaced and a specification as to which are new, used, rebuilt, or reconditioned.
(g) A certification that the repairs were completed properly or a detailed explanation of an inability to complete repairs properly. The statement shall be signed by the owner of the facility or by a person designated by the owner to represent the facility. The name of the mechanic or mechanics who performed the diagnosis and the repair shall also appear on the statement.

R.O. Writer software has the flexibility to do job-based repair orders so you can just see a total for each job and not the individual parts and labor prices. Be sure to check the rules and regs for your states- some states require that the price be listed for each indicidual part.
