    The decision that matters

    Both publish tiered automotive shop plans. Shopmonkey prices by plan with included user licenses ($20 per extra user) and sells a quoted Heavy Duty add-on; Tekmetric says it does not charge by user or repair order. Team size and truck work change which is cheaper.

    Growing automotive shop adding staff

    Price both at your real headcount. Shopmonkey Basic/Clever/Genius include 3/4/5 licenses; Tekmetric plans do not charge per user. Match features such as two-way texting and technician boards to the tier that actually includes them.

    Shop also servicing Class 4–8 trucks

    Ask Shopmonkey to demonstrate its Heavy Duty add-on with a real truck job and quote it. Ask Tekmetric for a heavy-duty labor/parts demonstration; its pricing page does not establish one.

    Questions for Tekmetric

    Compare the complete cost, not the starting price

    Compare matched written quotes: users, locations (Tekmetric Multi-Shop is $70/shop/month), migration (Shopmonkey lists a $500 fee), payments and marketing add-ons.

    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 Shopmonkey better than Tekmetric?

    It depends on your shop. Shopmonkey (Modern 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 Shopmonkey 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 Shopmonkey or Tekmetric alongside Repairius — compare your current contracts before cancelling anything.
