    The decision that matters

    Shopgenie is a CRM/marketing/scheduling platform now transitioning to Tekmetric Marketing; Shopmonkey is a full shop-management system with estimates, invoicing, inventory and a quoted Heavy Duty add-on. They solve different layers of the problem.

    Shop needing a full management system

    Shopmonkey covers repair orders, inventory, payments and inspections; Shopgenie’s reviewed pages cover booking, reminders, reviews and websites — confirm whether any repair-order capability exists before relying on it.

    Shop that already has management software

    If you keep Shopmonkey for operations, ask whether Shopgenie/Tekmetric Marketing integrates with it; the reviewed integration is with Tekmetric’s calendar.

    Compare the complete cost, not the starting price

    Confirm what a new customer can actually buy from Shopgenie today, then compare marketing costs against Shopmonkey’s built-in two-way texting and reminders.

    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 ShopGenie better than Shopmonkey?

    It depends on your shop. ShopGenie (Tekmetric / Shopmonkey style SMS) and Shopmonkey (Modern shop management software) serve different needs. Confirm current pricing and features with each vendor; Repairius does not verify third-party prices.

    Can I use Repairius alongside ShopGenie or Shopmonkey?

    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 ShopGenie or Shopmonkey alongside Repairius — compare your current contracts before cancelling anything.
