Lately, I’ve been thinking about adding warranty details to my repair invoices. Not sure if it’s overkill or actually helpful. Some clients seem to expect it, others don’t care.
Anyone here include warranty info on their invoices? Curious how it’s worked out for you.
I’ve gone back and forth on this one. Here’s my take:
Including warranty info can be useful, but keep it super simple.
On my invoices I just add:
Parts covered
Timeframe (30/60/90 days usually)
Any major exclusions
Takes like 30 seconds to add. Most clients don’t care, but it covers my butt if issues come up later.
The real key is being consistent. Whatever you decide, do it for all clients. Saves headaches down the road when you can point to your standard policy.
Honestly, good work is the best warranty. But having it in writing doesn’t hurt.
I’ve been putting warranty info on invoices for years. It’s not overkill, it’s smart business. Clients know exactly what they’re getting and for how long. Cuts down on confusion and callbacks later. Just keep it simple: list the parts covered, for how long, and any conditions. Takes an extra minute but saves headaches down the road. If a client doesn’t care, no harm done. But for those who do, it shows you’re professional and stand behind your work. It’s a no-brainer in my book.
I started putting warranty info on invoices a couple years ago. Got tired of clients calling months later asking if something was still covered.
Now I keep it short and sweet - just a line or two with the basics. Like ‘90 day warranty on parts and labor’ or whatever applies. Takes me 10 seconds to add.
Some clients definitely appreciate it. Others probably don’t even notice. But it’s saved me some hassle when someone tries to get free work done way past the warranty period.
If you do add it, just make sure you stick to whatever terms you put down. Had to eat the cost of a repair once when I realized I’d promised a longer warranty than I meant to. Lesson learned!
