Automotive Workshop & Service Accounting
Automotive workshops manage two revenue sources: service fees and spare parts sales. Recording must separate service COGS (labor, tools) with spare parts COGS for margin analysis. Work orders become key documents for tracking costs per vehicle. Arunika Consulting helps workshops implement neat accounting according to SAK EMKM.
