Every name, address and number in this sample is made up.
Put the package first and the add-ons after it. Name the vehicle, so a customer with two cars can tell them apart.
What an estimate has to show can differ by state, so check what applies where you work. This is general information, not tax or legal advice.
A detail is a package plus add-ons. Customers compare packages, so the invoice should show which one they got and what was added.
In the notes, write the condition you found, such as stains that did not come out fully or scratches that were there before you started.
Where detailing paperwork goes wrong: add-ons folded into the package. Then the customer expects pet hair removal every time at the package price.
Start from the sample, then swap in the lines for the job in front of you. Prices are yours to set.
Often yes. Ask for a few pictures of the inside and say in the notes that the price is based on them.
Send two estimates, one for each package, so the customer can approve the one they want.
Say in the notes that heavy soiling is priced once you have seen the vehicle, and name what counts for you, such as pet hair or heavy stains.
One line with the price per visit and how often you come, and the first visit as its own line if it costs more.
Put a date on it. The estimate maker lets you set how long the price holds.
