Tire shop invoice sample, line by line
Updated November 11, 2026
Tire invoices look simple until a customer asks why four tires cost more than the price on the sign. The answer is the add-ons. Show each one and the question goes away.
A sample invoice
Example only, with made-up prices.
| Type | Description | Qty | Price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Part | 225/65R17 all-season tire, DOT recorded | 4 | $142.00 | $568.00 |
| Part | TPMS service kit | 4 | $6.50 | $26.00 |
| Labor | Mount and balance | 4 | $22.00 | $88.00 |
| Fee | Tire disposal | 4 | $4.00 | $16.00 |
| Fee | State tire fee (where required) | 4 | $1.75 | $7.00 |
What to show and why
- Exact tire size and model. It proves they got what they ordered.
- DOT or tire identification numbers. Write them on your copy. If there’s ever a recall, you can find who got which tires.
- Mount and balance as labor. Per tire, so the customer sees the math.
- Disposal and any state tire fee as separate fees. Many states charge a per-tire fee on new tires; it should never be buried in the tire price.
- Torque and re-check. A note like “Lug nuts torqued to spec, re-check after 50 miles” covers you and helps them.
- Tax. Mark which lines are taxed. Rules differ by state.
Alignment and road hazard
If you recommend an alignment and they say no, write that on the invoice: “Alignment recommended, declined.” If they buy a road hazard plan, put its terms on the invoice or attach them.
