Dutch term or phrase: reparatieopdracht couponboekje
"Bij het einde van de overeenkomst moet de werknemer de auto in goede staat met alle bijbehorende bescheiden, waaronder kentekenbewijs deel I, II, *het reparatieopdracht couponboekje* en de brandstofpas, aanbieden op een door de leasemaatschappij aan te geven adres."

Can anyone help me out with this term, s.v.p.? TIA. Cheers, R.

English translation:vehicle maintenance log
Explanation:
Not my field, but a quick search on the Internet revealed this:
A vehicle maintenance log is a journal of all maintenance performed on a particular vehicle. Each entry includes a date, mileage as of that day, details about the type of work done, and who performed the service. The maintenance log might also include receipts and a schedule for further maintenance.

repair/service vouchers


Explanation:
I am guessing that the company may have supplied a booklet with vouchers for specified maintenance or repair jobs that they agree to pay for (such as oil changes maybe). They have also supplied a 'brandstofpas', so it appears that the the employees have a fuel allowance for which they can pay with some kind of company credit card. Does that make sense?

log book or logbook


Explanation:
Various terms are used interchangeably: vehicle maintenance log, service record, maintenance record but in common parlance, what you are describing is just referred to as the log book.
