Dealership Work

I recently picked up some work at the dealership down the road from me to redo all their corvettes and some black Cadillacs.



I'm just curious as to how I should go about the invoicing as it's using PO #'s and so on. I assume the due date for payment would be at the end of the month? Is there anything else I should be keeping in mind?



Thanks.
 
So are you technically an employee for this place? or are they basically contracting work out to you?



If you're an employee then you should be paid every 2 weeks or once a month.



If they're contracting out to you, then read the fine print and make sure you get paid by the car....



That's just my .02, I'm sure someone with better knowledge will chime in.
 
You have to get paid per car. Is it their cars there sending you or are they referring customers to you?



I would say take 80% of the money if they are referring.



And then give them your normal price with like a 10% or 15% discount if its their cars their sending you
 
I'll be doing the 7 corvettes at the dealership at $300 per car. Should I be expecting payment after each car or at the end of the month?

Guess that's up to you....



If it were me, I'd want to get paid after each car, but if you'll be doing all the cars in the same week or two, you're probably safe waiting till they're all done.



Just make sure the "boss" inspects each one after you're done to ensure they have no complaints and try to pull a fast one on you in the end....

If they are using PO's they would probably like to pay per each accounting cycle ie beginning of each month. Unless you make it clear you are to be paid for each.



Defiantly have someone inspect each vehicle or take pics.
 
Yeh I talked to the guy earlier, it's PO, and as you said every month. I'll definatly be bringing my camera. 50/50 shots tell an entire story.
 
All the cars have their own PO#, so invoice each vehicle with the charge, make/model/year, and the PO#. The sales manager needs figure that price into the final sale of the vehicle. I give them an invoice once per week with that weeks worth of work and a NET30 payment term, as I get paid from their accounting department twice per month.



Just make sure that the cars get invoiced promptly, because if the vehicle is sold before you give them an invoice they need to take your cost out of the salesman's commission, and they really don't like that.
 
Cash is king. Offer them a discount if they pay upon completion(5% or something) and offer a different discount if they pay within one week of being invoiced(2% or something).



Don't forget to have the terms of doing business on the invoice. If they are late payers interest should be accrued.
