    Compare the complete cost, not the starting price

    Compare matched written quotes: users, locations, SMS allowances, payment fees and migration. RepairShopr’s annual-card amounts need billing confirmation.

    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.
