Is the repair list for insured vehicles not provided?

The repair list for insured vehicles should be provided to the repairer. To apply for engaging in motor vehicle maintenance and repair business, the following requirements must be met: 1. Site: have corresponding motor vehicle maintenance and repair premises. 2. Equipment: have necessary equipment, facilities, and technical personnel. 3. Rules: have sound motor vehicle maintenance and repair management regulations. 4. Have necessary environmental protection measures: "Transportation Administrative License Application Form"; procedures for business premises and parking lot area, copies of land use right and property ownership certificates; summary table of technical personnel and corresponding professional qualification certificates; copies of verification certificates for maintenance testing equipment and measuring instruments.
I've handled several accident claims before, and honestly, the repair invoice is a must. Every time my car gets repaired, I insist on a detailed breakdown from the repair shop that clearly lists all replaced parts and individual service costs. This way, I can verify if the repairs were done as agreed. If the shop hesitates to provide it, immediately contact your insurance company for a copy since they maintain complete records too. This document isn't just for billing verification—it also serves as proof of the vehicle's repair history when selling the car later. My neighbor once skipped getting the invoice, only to discover post-repair that the tires weren't actually replaced new, leading to weeks of disputes. So never skip requesting that invoice.
I’ve personally experienced filing a claim for car repairs, and I was quite surprised that some repair shops don’t proactively provide a repair list. As car owners, we have the right to know which parts were repaired and what materials were used. I recommend directly asking for a copy when picking up your car. This list usually specifies the brand and model of the parts as well as the labor costs. If they refuse to provide it, there might be something fishy going on. You can try discussing it with the repair manager first, explaining that you need it for record-keeping. If that doesn’t work, you can file a complaint with the insurance company—they can access the detailed repair item list. Remember to keep every repair list after each service and store it with the claim settlement documents. This way, you can refer back to the records if any issues arise with your car later.
