    Truck & Diesel Repair Shop Software Options Compared (2026)

    Heavy-duty repair is a different workflow: multi-day jobs, fleet accounts, PM schedules and Class 4–8 labor data. These are the platforms truck and diesel shops commonly evaluate, with sourced pricing and the questions to ask each vendor.

    Disclosure: Repairius publishes this page and Repairius is our own product. This list is not a ranking — entries appear in no particular order of quality, and we assign no ratings.

    How we researched: every price and feature below comes from the vendor’s own website with the date we checked it and a link to the source. Where a vendor publishes no price, we say so — unpublished means unknown, not free. Confirm details directly with each vendor before buying.

    Class 4–8 truck shop management

    Published pricing

    Monthly Basic/Clever/Genius: $239/$399/$499. Annual-savings rates: $215/$359/$449 per month. Heavy Duty and Multi-Shop require quotes; additional users and migration can add costs.

    What the vendor publishes

    • Basic lists estimates/invoices, two-way text/email, calendar reminders, digital inspections, electronic signatures and parts lookup/ordering.

    Diesel/truck repair-shop software

    Often considered by: Smaller diesel shops evaluating a simpler repair-order and history workflow with a limited-invoice trial.

    Published pricing

    No current subscription price established on the reviewed diesel product page. Ask about licenses, deployment, upgrades, support and trial limits; do not assume the limited trial is a free ongoing product.

    • Lists customer histories, estimates and repair orders, inventory and income/expense/tax records.

    • How do backups, upgrades, support and exports work?

    Tekmetric

    Automotive shop management

    Often considered by: Automotive and mixed-service shops evaluating unlimited-user plans; heavy-duty coverage must be demonstrated separately.

    Published pricing

    Monthly Start/Grow/Scale: $199/$349/$439. Displayed annual-plan rates: $179/$309/$409 per month; confirm the annual invoice because the page also shows higher struck-through amounts. Enterprise is quoted; add-ons are separate.

    Often considered by: Fleet-maintenance teams managing owned equipment, in-house work and outsourced repairs; distinguish TMT Service Center for independent providers.

    Often considered by: Fleets, service providers and dealer networks coordinating repair events across organizations, potentially alongside existing shop software.

    Published pricing

    No public subscription price established on the reviewed provider page. Quote implementation, participating organizations and named integrations; a coordination platform is not priced as a proven replacement for a shop system.

    What the vendor publishes

    • Describes service-event visibility and communication among service providers, fleets and service partners.
    • Describes estimate/approval workflows and notifications.
    • Describes service-performance analytics and integration with internal shop-management systems.

    Pricing: Pro $99.99/month (first location included); Business $179.99/month adds fleet accounts, technician commissions and marketing campaigns. 14-day trial, card required.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the best software for a heavy-duty truck repair shop?

    It depends on whether you are an independent shop, a dealer or a fleet maintaining its own units. Fullbay and Mitchell 1 Manager SE Truck Edition target independent Class 4–8 shops; Trimble TMT and Decisiv serve fleet-side and coordination workflows. We publish Repairius and do not rank it against competitors.

    How much does truck repair shop software cost?

    Fullbay publishes $188–$318 per month plus per-user fees on an annual agreement. Shopmonkey’s heavy-duty capability is a separately quoted add-on. Mitchell 1 Truck Edition, Digital Wrench and the fleet platforms quote individually. Compare the complete cost — users, locations, data licenses and integrations.

    Can general auto repair software handle Class 4–8 work?

    Sometimes, but confirm it explicitly. Shopmonkey sells a paid Heavy Duty add-on for Class 4–8 lookup, labor guides and procedures. Most other automotive platforms do not publish equivalent heavy-duty coverage — require a demonstration with your actual units before assuming fit.

    What should a truck shop test in a demo?

    Run one real multi-day repair end to end: estimate with truck labor data, parts ordering, technician time across days, customer or fleet authorization, final invoice and a fleet statement. Then export the history and confirm what happens to your data at cancellation.

    Bottom line

    Independent Class 4–8 shops usually shortlist Fullbay and Mitchell 1 Truck Edition first, then test whether a general platform with a heavy-duty add-on covers their units. Fleets maintaining their own equipment should evaluate fleet-side tools separately.
