Abstract

Abstract A work order set for vehicle repair work includes a bottom sheet of relatively stiff card stock, and at least one upper sheet of relatively thin paper stock. The sheets are secured together along at least one edge, and define a first area for receiving data regarding the work order to which the set pertains. All of the first areas are superimposed. All of the sheets further define a second area, and all second areas are superimposed. The second area of the bottom sheet is divided by perforations into three detachable portions, each bearing the same work order number. One portion is intended for attachment to the vehicle, another portion is intended to be given to the customer, and the third portion is intended for attachment to the vehicle starter key.
