What a good job card captures
A job card ties the whole job together: the customer’s reported fault, the vehicle details, the work to carry out with estimated hours, the parts needed, and a signature authorising the work. Keep them and you have a clear record if a customer ever queries what was agreed. Turn the finished card into an invoice, or let Garage Desk carry it from booking to invoice without re-typing a thing.
