    The decision that matters

    Tekmetric describes unlimited users and repair orders with automotive shop workflows. Fullbay uses tier-specific Full User pricing and explicitly packages heavy-duty data; unlimited users are valuable only if the required truck workflow also fits.

    Large team in an automotive shop

    Compare Tekmetric Grow/Scale functions with the Fullbay tier and Full User roles your team needs. Include technician boards and two-way texting only where actually packaged.

    Truck-first repair operation

    Require a Class 4–8 estimating, parts, PM and fleet-billing demonstration from Tekmetric. Its automotive plan page is not evidence of identical heavy-duty coverage.

    Tekmetric

    Automotive shop management

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

    Published pricing and purchase terms

    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.

    Vendor pricing/product source

    What the vendor publishes

    • Says its plans do not charge by user or repair order. [source]
    • Start lists inventory/vendor management, digital inspections, authorizations and invoicing. [source]
    • Grow adds labor guides, maintenance schedules and time/job clocks; Scale adds two-way texting, a technician board and employee performance analytics. [source]
    • Lists Multi-Shop as a $70/month/shop add-on requiring a plan subscription for each location. [source]
    • Offers month-to-month billing or discounted annual plans; marketing and tire tools have separate listed add-on prices. [source]

    Questions for Tekmetric

    • Which Class 4–8 labor/parts data can you demonstrate?
    • Which users and locations are included in our full written quote?
    • Can you handle our fleet statements, PM records and multi-day truck jobs?

    Compare the complete cost, not the starting price

    Quote the same locations, staff and communication tools. Tekmetric Multi-Shop is an add-on per shop plus each location’s subscription; Fullbay Basic is single-location.

    Use the same job in both demonstrations

    1. Create a representative unit and repair, including mileage/engine hours where relevant, inspection photos and an estimate revision.
    2. Assign two technicians, issue an in-stock part, order a missing part and capture labor across more than one day.
    3. Obtain a sample customer authorization, complete an invoice and reconcile the payment or fleet statement without sending a live request.
    4. Export the completed history and an open repair. Confirm attachments, accounting totals, permissions and contract exit terms.

    Frequently asked

    Is Fullbay better than Tekmetric?

    It depends on your shop. Fullbay (Heavy-duty truck shop management software) and Tekmetric (Cloud-based auto repair shop management) serve different needs. Confirm current pricing and features with each vendor; Repairius does not verify third-party prices.

    Can I use Repairius alongside Fullbay or Tekmetric?

    You can keep other services while using Repairius. Repairius offers a free basic listing and website with booking requests; advanced management tools require the appropriate paid plan. This does not imply an integration with either vendor or guarantee inquiry volume.

    Can I replace both with one tool?

    It depends on what you use each one for. Repairius combines a free directory listing with booking requests and, on a paid plan, dispatch, estimates and invoicing. Some shops keep Fullbay or Tekmetric alongside Repairius — compare your current contracts before cancelling anything.
