Car Ready for Pickup email template
A garage email that says the car is done: a small framed photo, pickup hours, a list of the work with costs and two simple buttons.
Light shows the email as designed. Dark and Gmail show how email apps can change its colors.

About this template
For garages, tire shops and service centers. It opens with a small framed workshop photo rather than a banner, then gets straight to the point: the car is ready, and here is when to collect it.
A pickup card gives the days, hours and address. The work list comes next, with each job on its own row, then parts, tax and the total, so nobody needs to ask what they are paying for at the desk. Two buttons of equal weight let the customer pay ahead or ask a question.
Connect it to your job system and fill in the rows for each car. The photo stays the same from one customer to the next, so pick one of your own workshop.
