There is a charge on my receipt labeled Env. Fees/Shop Supp., what is this?
The shop supplies/environmental fee covers the many miscellaneous supplies and materials that are used on each repair. It is not practical to itemize these items and it is also not practical to fully charge a customer when only a portion of a material or supply is used. It is for this reason that a standard charge appears on every repair order for shop supplies and environmental fees. The amount of this charge is 5% of the total, with a minimum of $1.25 and a maximum of $25.00. Below is a list of some of the miscellaneous materials and supplies used regularly in daily shop activity that are not itemized on your repair order. These items are covered by the shop supplies/environmental fee: Adhesive compounds, battery cleaner, belt dressing, brake cleaner solvent, brake fluid, carburetor cleaner, chassis grease, choke cleaner, cotter pins, delivery charges, electrical tape, floor mats, hand cleaner, grease, hazardous waste removal, parts cleaning solvents, protective materials, power stee
