End-of-day closeouts and reports for auto repair shops

Closing the drawer on a notepad means the numbers live wherever that notepad ends up. We build the closeout into your staff portal: count the drawer, see if it is over or short, and keep every day on record with the shop expenses beside it.

How closing out works

  • Count the drawer by bill, from $100s to $1s, and the cash total adds itself up
  • Enter the card and check totals for the day, plus the cash you expected, and it shows over or short
  • A notes line for payouts and anything that did not add up
  • Every saved closeout stays on record with its bill-by-bill count, and saves and deletes go in the audit log
  • Log vendor invoices with a photo of the paper copy, then see expenses by month and year with totals and a chart
  • Export closeouts, expenses, and appointments to a spreadsheet: all of them, a year, or a month

Built for a working shop

We built these reports for Colonial Auto Repair's staff portal, alongside the shop software it already runs. The closeout is typed in at the end of the day; it does not pull from a register or card terminal.

    Launch and tune

    We launch, walk your team through it, and tune it through the first weeks of real use.

Questions owners ask

Does it pull totals from my card terminal or shop software?
Colonial's closeout is typed in: staff count the drawer and enter the card and check totals. If your terminal or shop software can export or connect, we look at pulling those totals in during the scope review.
Who can do the closeout?
Anyone on your staff with a portal login. Every saved or deleted closeout is written to the audit log with who did it.
Can my bookkeeper get the numbers?
Yes. Closeouts, expenses, and appointments export to spreadsheets, so they can go straight to whoever does your books.
