Although this bill was co-sponsored by a ridiculous number of congressmen and women, this extremely helpful bill for independent automotive repair shops, simply died. Let’s look at why…
I saw this article in Popular Mechanics the other day and it reminded me of what a pain the work order can be – especially in California. This article uses a New York invoice, but the principles are the same.
