Best Software for Mobile Truck & Fleet Repair

Our ranking for mobile truck and fleet repair companies puts Fullbay first, then ShopView, Pluss PTM Vision, EMDECS and Shopmonkey. Each one’s own site describes work done from a service truck for fleet customers. Mitchell 1 Manager SE Truck Edition and Trimble TMT Service Center follow as shop-side options whose field workflow we could not confirm. Mobile mechanics who mostly fix cars and light trucks have their own section. Each tool carries a score from our five-criterion rubric, and there are other options beyond this list.

If your company maintains its own trucks and vans rather than repairing other people’s, see our list of fleet maintenance software instead.

Who this list is for

This list is for companies that send service trucks out to fix other people’s trucks and trailers, and for heavy-duty shops that run service trucks next to their bays. Those businesses need the shop side (estimates, parts, labor, invoicing) and the field side (dispatching a truck, working at the customer’s yard, getting a signature) in one system.

It leaves out software for a fleet’s own in-house maintenance team, plus specialty tools for commercial tire service, fleet washing and stand-alone inspection apps. General field service platforms built for HVAC or plumbing are out of scope too. Every tool here has vendor pages that describe repair work on a customer’s vehicles.

The ranking comes from desk research. We read each vendor’s own pages on 2026-11-06 and ranked the tools by how directly those pages describe mobile repair for fleet customers. Each tool’s score uses our five-criterion rubric on that same research; we have not tested any of them hands-on. The order follows fit for mobile fleet work rather than score, so a lower-scoring tool with a documented service-truck workflow can rank above a higher-scoring shop system.

1) Fullbay

Fullbay is shop management software for heavy-duty repair, and it is the vendor here whose own pages say the most about mobile truck repair. The company says its mobile truck repair software “was built for technicians on the go”, and mobile techs can log their mileage on the way to a job.

What we saw on Fullbay’s pages:

• Preventive maintenance intervals by mileage, engine hours or calendar date, with service orders generated for upcoming and overdue PMs across a customer’s fleet (fleet PM page).
• A customer portal where fleet customers see repair status without calling the shop, and reminders for “DOT, BIT, and other federal or state inspection” dates (customer communication).

Pricing: Express is $149 a month and is pitched at mobile repair shops and one-person operations. It doesn’t include preventive maintenance tracking, though. PM tracking starts on Basic, which, like Pro and Elite, is quote-only. Fullbay offers month-to-month and annual agreements, all billed monthly (pricing, read 2026-11-06).

2) ShopView

ShopView is repair shop software for heavy-duty and mobile equipment work. Its mobile repair page is built around road calls: it says the software manages “road calls, field technicians, work orders, parts, labor, invoices, and customer updates” and handles roadside breakdowns and emergency calls.

What we saw on ShopView’s page:

• Assigning mobile technicians with the full job in view.
• Turning a completed mobile work order into an invoice “from the job site, the service truck, or the office.”
• Preventive maintenance, inspections and repairs tracked in the same place, plus self-service for customers.

Pricing: ShopView publishes no figures. Its pricing page says there are no tiers and that it builds a setup and a price for each shop (pricing, read 2026-11-06).

3) Pluss PTM Vision

Pluss makes PTM Vision, shop and parts software for truck repair businesses. Its Mobile Service product is “designed for mobile trucks and mobile technicians who perform service in the field” and syncs with the shop’s copy of PTM Vision.

What we saw on the Mobile Service page:

• Creating dispatch tickets and recording job details, location and travel time.
• Getting work authorization and sign-off with a signature.

Pluss’s page doesn’t say whether the app works offline, and it says nothing about fleet preventive maintenance, so check both in a demo.

Pricing: Pluss publishes no prices. It says it can start a small shop on a basic system and add more as the business grows (small business, read 2026-11-06).

4) EMDECS

EMDECS is fleet maintenance software from BrightOrder, which describes it as “built for heavy-duty trucks, fleets, and repair shops of all kinds” (BrightOrder). Because it sells to fleets as well as repair shops, it may suit a repair company whose customers want their maintenance history in the same system.

For mobile repair, BrightOrder says “each vehicle can be set up as its own ‘shop’ on EMDECS,” so the parts and tools on each service truck are tracked separately, and technicians work through a dedicated portal (technician portal post).

Pricing: BrightOrder publishes no prices and offers custom quotes (pricing, read 2026-11-06).

5) Shopmonkey

Shopmonkey is repair shop software for auto and truck shops. Its heavy-duty page says “Manage both fleet and individual accounts with ease” and gives access to heavy-duty labor guides, diagrams and procedures. The technician mobile app tracks jobs, sends estimates and takes payment on the go.

We didn’t see preventive maintenance scheduling, dispatch or service-truck features on Shopmonkey’s heavy-duty page. That makes it a closer fit for a shop that takes some fleet work and some road calls than for a company built around service trucks.

Pricing: Basic is listed at $215 or $239 a month for three users; the page says annual pricing saves up to 10%. Clever is $359 or $399 and Genius is $449 or $499. Extra users are $20 a month. The iOS and Android app and bulk invoice statements are on every plan; the pricing page shows no PM-by-unit feature (pricing, read 2026-11-06).

6) Mitchell 1 Manager SE Truck Edition

Manager SE Truck Edition is shop management for Class 4-8 truck repair that “works alongside TruckSeries,” Mitchell 1’s truck repair information (product page). It covers the job from diagnosis and repair to the final invoice, with a heavy-duty parts catalog and integrated customer scheduling.

Field workflow unverified. The product page says nothing about service trucks, road calls or a technician mobile app. It’s on this list for heavy-duty shops that already use TruckSeries and want shop management to match. Ask for a demo of the field side before you count on it.

Pricing: The product page shows no price, but Mitchell 1’s online store lists Manager SE Truck Edition at $204 a month on a 12-month lease for new customers, or $244 a month with TruckLabor times (read 2026-11-06).

7) Trimble TMT Service Center

TMT Service Center is Trimble’s software “for medium and heavy-duty maintenance shops,” covering scheduling, equipment management, billing, payments and contracts (product page). Trimble also sells TMT mobile apps, including TMT Mobile Mechanic and TMT Parts Room.

Road-service workflow unverified. The page doesn’t mention road calls, service trucks or a customer portal. It’s here as a shop-side option for heavy-duty service centers; we could not confirm a mobile repair workflow.

Pricing: No published price (read 2026-11-06).

Pricing at a glance

Prices as listed on each vendor’s pricing page on 2026-11-06. “Fleet features” means the cheapest plan with what we picked the tool for: preventive maintenance tracking or fleet billing for truck repair shops, and the technician mobile app for mobile mechanics.

If you’re a mobile mechanic

This section is for mechanics who drive to cars and light trucks, at a home, a workplace or a small business’s lot. The tools below are built for that work, and some also handle billing for small fleet accounts. They aren’t ranked against the heavy-duty list above.

Shopmonkey

Shopmonkey markets the same app to mobile mechanics, with “Tools built for mobile mechanics” and payments “on-site or on the go.” The Basic plan starts at $215 or $239 a month for three users (read 2026-11-06), which makes it the priciest entry point in this section.

AutoLeap

AutoLeap is auto repair shop software with a mobile mechanic page. It shows every job, location and time slot, runs digital inspections with photos and video at the vehicle, and lets you collect payment on site by card, link or QR code. For fleet customers it can “combine invoices into one statement” and set fleet-specific pricing, labor rates or discounts (fleet management).

Pricing: Essentials is $179 a month billed annually or $199 billed monthly, and it includes fleet management. Mobile inspections and the technician mobile and tablet app aren’t in Essentials, though. They start on Pro, at $309 a month billed annually or $349 billed monthly, so Pro is the plan to price for mobile work (pricing, read 2026-11-06).

ARI

ARI says it is “Built for mobile mechanics, independent technicians, auto repair shops of every size.” Its iOS and Android apps support on-site repair work, with inspection checklists, damage reports and photos, plus an OBD scanner, VIN decoder and license plate reader. See our ARI listing.

Pricing: ARI Pro is $39.99 a month or $399.99 paid yearly. ARI Pro Plus is $59.99 a month or $599.99 a year (pricing, read 2026-11-06).

Orderry

Orderry is mobile-first work order software. Its mobile mechanic page covers scheduling and dispatch, estimates and invoices on site, and QR-code payments.

Pricing: Hobby is $39 a month for two employees and 100 work orders per 30 days, and Startup starts at $69 a month. The mobile app is on every plan, and annual billing saves 10% (pricing, read 2026-11-06).

Other mobile mechanic tools

• Torque360: auto repair shop software with a mobile mechanic option for jobs, invoices and payments on a phone or tablet. Starter is $89.99 a month billed annually, but the pricing page says the Technician Mobile App comes with Turbo ($179.99 a month billed annually) and Supercharged (pricing, read 2026-11-06).
• Trackara Pro: a phone app for mobile mechanics covering invoices, quotes, work orders and time tracking. It has one plan with every feature, at $49.99 a month or $499.99 a year (pricing, read 2026-11-06).
• Workshop Software: cloud software from an Australian company, with a mobile mechanic page about writing invoices and taking payment on site from its mobile app. In US dollars, Silver is $149 a month billed annually ($1,788 a year) or $169 billed monthly, and it already includes the iOS and Android app (pricing, read 2026-11-06).

Systems your fleet customers may already run

Some fleet customers will ask you to work inside their systems as well as yours. None of these is ranked here, because none is repair shop software.

• Decisiv’s SRM platform “integrates with your internal shop management systems” and tracks each service event across locations, with automatic updates to the fleet customer. If a large customer sends work through Decisiv, ask your shop software vendor how the two connect.
• Your customers may keep their own maintenance records in a tool like Fleetio and track vehicles with telematics from Samsara, Geotab or Azuga. Ask whether your shop software can take in work requests or vehicle data from what your biggest customers use.

Inspection rules that shape the paperwork

A fleet repair company does much of its work to keep a customer’s trucks legal. These are the federal rules most of that paperwork comes from, plus California’s terminal program, which Fullbay’s reminders mention.

• Driver vehicle inspection reports. Under 49 CFR 396.11, drivers prepare a written report at the end of each day’s work on each vehicle, though no report is needed if no defect is found or reported. The carrier keeps the report and the certification of repairs for three months.
• Annual inspection. 49 CFR 396.17 says a commercial motor vehicle can’t be used unless its components have passed an inspection at least once in the past 12 months, with the documentation on the vehicle.
• Who can inspect. 49 CFR 396.19 requires annual inspectors to be qualified. One way to qualify is at least a year of training or experience, which can include work as a mechanic or inspector at a commercial garage or fleet leasing company. The carrier keeps evidence of those qualifications.
• California BIT. The California Highway Patrol’s Basic Inspection of Terminals program covers motor carriers with a CA number and property-carrying terminals. Carriers must have each regulated vehicle inspected at least every 90 days and keep the records for at least two years (CHP 800H).

When you compare tools, check whether inspection results, defects and repair sign-offs end up on the vehicle’s record where your customer can find them.
