Tracking labor hours on every repair job matters for billing accuracy and shop workflow. Job time tickets give technicians and service advisors a fast way to log time, materials, and job status on a single form, with instant duplicate copies for records.
What Are Job Time Tickets?
Job time tickets are carbon interleaved, snap-out forms used to track labor hours, materials, and job details on a single repair order. Each ticket creates instant duplicate copies without separate carbon paper, so technicians, service advisors, and billing staff all get an accurate record of the work performed.
They're a standard tool in repair shops, dealerships, and service departments handling multiple jobs per day.
Types of Job Time Tickets
Standard Job Time Tickets Sized around 4-1/4" × 9-3/4", these are the most compact format, suited for shorter jobs with fewer line items.
Extended Job Time Tickets Larger formats like 4-1/4" × 11-1/8" and 11-3/4" give more room for detailed labor and materials breakdowns on bigger jobs.
Ink Color Variants Job time tickets come in black or blue ink printing, which some shops use to color-code by department or job type.
How to Choose the Right Job Time Ticket
Size
Shorter jobs with minimal detail fit on the compact 9-3/4" format. Jobs needing more written detail should use the 11-1/8" or 11-3/4" formats.
Ink
Color Pick black or blue ink based on how your shop organizes or color-codes job types.
Adhesive Backing
All job time tickets use permanent adhesive, letting staff attach them directly to work orders or job folders for secure recordkeeping.
Volume
High-traffic service departments should order in bulk packs of 500 to 1000 to avoid running low mid-week.
Job Time Tickets for Different Shop Needs
A quick-lube or express service shop handling short jobs benefits from the compact 9-3/4" format for fast turnover. A full-service repair shop or body shop working longer, more detailed jobs may prefer the extended 11-1/8" or 11-3/4" formats for more complete labor and materials tracking.
