    I have some really great check in sheets that I am sure you guys would love...

    I would like to share them with you all but the files are in Excel and I cannot upload an Excel file to DB.

    Any suggestions as to where I can host these to share with my DB bretheren?

    You can attach them in a email and send them to everyone that would like a copy. I am interested in these sheets because I am trying to come up with one now and am getting no where.

    I will do that as the last resort...

    I GUARANTEE once you see these your search will be over...

    I live in an area where some people have a very strong allegiance towards american made vehicles so I have made specific sheets.. example:

    I have an:

    SUV sheet with profile pics of a domestic and another with a picture of a foreign
    Sedan sheet with profile pics of a domestic and another with a picture of a foreign
    Coupe sheet with profile pics of a domestic and another with a picture of a foreign

    Etc, etc

    Ok, I think I figured it out, please let me know if these work.

    The 1st link is a VERY basic Invoice form.

    Below are check in sheets tailored to vehicles I see...

    Using these properly encourages a "walk around" inspection with the customer.. any defects/issues should be noted on the sheet... addressing these defects releives you from liability while providing the opportunitty to repair the said defect and thus, increasing your bottom line


    Here's a sample screen print of you want to see before you click

    I use this as a check in sheet..

    When I get to the job I whip out my clipboard and walk around the vehicle with the customer, making a note of all items listed on the sheet.

    In doing so you note any pre-existing damage/defects. This eliminates the customer saying "that was not there when you took possesion"... This also gives you the opportunitty to point each and every defect out to the customer and then you have the chance to tell them what you can do to fix the situation "$Cha-Ching$".

    In additon there are spots for you to make a note of radio codes, this comes in handy should you need to remove the battery.

    Pretty much every exterior/interior area of the vehicle is accounted for..

    For the purpose of noting paint thickness, that should be documented under the pictures of the vehicle, only difference is the view is not exploded... same funtionality with a bit more funtion added and a very professional appearance.

    These look identical to the ones posted on DC 2 years ago:
    Alot of important Business files - DetailCity.org - Auto Detailing Forum

    Are you tpgsr or did you borrow his work and add in your own pictures of the cars? The originals came with a white Beemer I believe. I think it would be fair to give the originator credit... Its a very well done form, covers all of the bases, that's for sure.

    Nope I didn't create them...Don't remember where I got them from... Only thing I did was added the pictures for vehicles I do from yahoo motors, they offer 360 degree views

    Simply passing along a tool that has served me well

    By the way, the forms in the link you posted seem to no longer work

    thanks for sharing
