Business as usual

Running this shop such a pain. There is so much time spent per repair order that I need to tack on another 2 hours for just invoicing. After compiling all of the the parts, sublet work, labor and other incidentals I have a great feeling on how much a job should cost. OK, now that I have "paid my dues", "cut my teeth", "earned my keep" I wish I could bill my customers like this, "well, I would call this brake overhaul with a radiator re-core a on your 308 a $1400 job".
Bring me a Ferrari 275 GTS transmission that needs new bearings and synchronizers, that'll be $4500. You want me to re-upholster the dash on your 246, that feels like a $2000 dollar job, no you will not get an invoice, just give me a check.
Unfortunately it is not that simple, IRS is keeping an eye on things, customers want records as to what was done to there car, and I want to make sure the customer knows exactly what was done so if there are any questions......
I have alot of billing this weekend, the Jag project, 275 project, Dino job. I need money to pay for the Boxer paint job, the C/4 wheels. Who is going to buy the Yellow Dino, does it make sense to send the 330 and 365 BB to the auction, why do we need a CDL for a truck that is under the 26,000 weight limit?
