repair order

Service work authorization

A repair order is a document authorizing and detailing work to be performed on a vehicle, appliance, or other equipment.

It typically lists the customer's complaint, the technician's diagnosis, parts needed, labor involved, and estimated or final costs.

In auto shops, the repair order serves as both a work ticket for mechanics and a record for billing: The service advisor wrote up a repair order for the transmission issue.

Sometimes abbreviated RO.
