    Compare the complete cost, not the starting price

    Get an itemized VTS module quote (dispatch core plus motor-club, billing and telematics modules) and compare the total against the Towbook tier covering your call volume.

    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 Towbook better than VTS Systems?

    It depends on your shop. Towbook (Towing dispatch software) and VTS Systems (Towing and vehicle-storage (VSF) management) serve different needs. Confirm current pricing and features with each vendor; Repairius does not verify third-party prices.

    Can I use Repairius alongside Towbook or VTS Systems?

    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 Towbook or VTS Systems alongside Repairius — compare your current contracts before cancelling anything.
