I run one of those shops... When I'm involved, there are no left over parts due to a coupla things.

1: Observation skills-pay attention!!!

2: Organization. We use a number of different methods including computer labels and a sharpie.

3: Keep everything separate that needs to be separated, keep everything together that needs to be together.

4: If you take it apart and the bolts/nuts/screws can be put back into their holes, PUT THEM BACK. It won't take that long to remove them to reassemble.

5: Finish one job before beginning the next.

6: Zip-Lock baggies and your Sharpie are your friend. Label everything, you might not remember where it came from and where it goes.
