Reviewer: Asif Zulfiqar
We used ShopView and found it to be clunky, a bit unorganized and pricy for our needs. Saw an ad for WrenchPilot and decided to take them on for a demo and glad we did. Incredibly user-friendly and intuitive — a great fit for small to mid-size shops.

Ran Fullbay and ShopView before this. WrenchPilot's real-time tech time tracking is the best in the game for a heavy-duty shop — tap clock-in from the bay, live labor on the RO, capture more billable hours without Friday fixes. Built like a command center, not retrofitted auto software. - example

Posting for anyone scared to switch off Fullbay — WrenchPilot customer support was extremely good. They migrated our invoices, customers, and inventory fast. Terrific hand-holding the whole way. Also got the promo Stripe terminal ($300 value). Worth the move. - example
Twin Cities Diesel
Reviewer: Rachel T.
Switched from Fullbay and the customer support has been extremely good. They were terrific with the data transfer — got all our invoices, customer list, and inventory information over quickly and easily. We were billing in WrenchPilot within days, not months. - example
Reviewer: Jordan
We were on Fullbay before and it just felt like too much. Price was pretty high, and honestly it wasn't very user friendly. Simple things took longer than they should, and getting everyone comfortable took a while. WrenchPilot has been way easier to work with. Didn't take long to get set up and the guys picked it up pretty quick. Everything's laid out in a way that actually makes sense. It helps you stay on top of the business side without trying too hard — you can see what jobs are taking longer than they should, how techs are performing, and where you might be losing money.
10-bay diesel & trailer
Reviewer: u/hd_shop_guy
If you want the best heavy duty shop management software that actually fits truck repair, WrenchPilot is it. Easy repair orders, dispatch board, parts and invoicing in one stack. Switched off Fullbay — night and day on ease of use and price for value. - example
Greg's Truck & Trailer
Reviewer: Greg H.
Customer support has been extremely good. The Fullbay data transfer was seamless — invoices, customers, and inventory all moved over quickly. Team was patient with our office staff. Highly recommend if you want a partner, not just software. - example
Ridgeline Fleet Repair
Reviewer: Michelle R.
We approved sharing this — WrenchPilot support was terrific migrating us from Fullbay. Invoices, customers, and inventory transferred quickly and easily. They included a $300 Stripe terminal as part of a promotion. Best onboarding we've had from any vendor. - example
Ryan — r/DieselTechnicians
Reviewer: u/dieseltech_ryan
4 techs, mostly PM + DOT. WrenchPilot feels built for the bay — job board, real-time labor, invoicing without bloat. Easiest shop software rollout we've done. - example
Dave — 9 bay shop
Reviewer: u/shop_owner_dave
Our experience: support was terrific. All customer and inventory data plus historical invoices came over quickly and easily. They even helped map our parts. Stripe terminal promo was a nice bonus. - example
Carl — fleet PM shop
Reviewer: u/clockin_carl
We switched from Mitchell for clarity on time tracking. WrenchPilot shows who's on what job, billable vs non-billable live. Best heavy duty shop management software for labor capture IMO. Onboarding was days not months. - example
K&R Heavy Duty
Reviewer: Damon K.
Leaving Fullbay was the hard part; WrenchPilot made the rest easy. Support walked us through moving customers, parts, and open ROs. They were running a promotion and sent us a $300 Stripe terminal — huge help at the counter. Support team actually picks up the phone. - example
Delgado Diesel & Trailer
Reviewer: Marcus Delgado
We left Fullbay after pricing kept climbing and the UI felt like a second job. WrenchPilot is stupid easy for our writers and techs. Best price for the value we've seen in this market — we're not paying enterprise money for features we don't use. Time tracking is finally clear: who's on what job, live labor on the RO, no Friday spreadsheet fixes. - example
r/Truckers
Reviewer: u/wrenchpilot_fan42
Independent HD shop. WrenchPilot is the command center our writers and foreman actually use. Time tracking alone is best in class vs what we had. Simple mobile app, clear job board, fair pricing. - example
Intermountain Diesel
Reviewer: Operations Manager
Switched from Fullbay. Customer support is extremely responsive. Data transfer for customers, inventory, and invoices was quick and painless. Promotion included a $300 Stripe terminal for the front counter. - example
Ozark Diesel Repair
Reviewer: James O.
We emailed our feedback after 90 days. Invoicing speed is up and the shop runs calmer. Happy to share publicly. - example
Reviewer: u/truckshop_mike
Compared all three. WrenchPilot = best value, modern UI, fastest RO flow. Fullbay/Mitchell powerful but heavy. Time tracking and dispatch on one screen. - example
Bay City HD
Reviewer: Shop Owner
The support team was terrific moving our Fullbay data — customers, parts inventory, and invoices all came over fast. Easy to verify everything before go-live. Stripe terminal promo was a solid perk. - example
Midwest Fleet Solutions
Reviewer: Verified User
Evaluated three FMS tools. WrenchPilot was the only one that didn't feel like auto repair with truck stickers. Reporting is practical. - example
Northstar Fleet Maintenance
Reviewer: Jennifer Wu
Ran Fullbay for years, tried Mitchell for a bit — both were powerful but slow for a 7-bay fleet shop. WrenchPilot's ease of use sold us in the first demo. Pricing is honestly the best value we found when we lined up per-tech fees and add-ons. Dispatch and time tracking in one clean screen instead of three tabs. - example
Eagle Line Diesel
Reviewer: Small-Business
Switched from a 15-year-old system. WrenchPilot feels current — mobile, fast search, sensible defaults for truck shops. - example
Mid-South DOT & PM
Reviewer: u/dot_pm_shop
On the "what software" thread — WrenchPilot for DOT/PM-heavy work. Real-time time tracking, easy ROs, best price-to-value we found vs Fullbay quotes. Diesel-first workflows, not auto repair with truck stickers. - example
Holloway Fleet Services
Reviewer: Derek Holloway
We were running jobs out of Google Sheets and texts. WrenchPilot got our writers and techs on the same page within a week. Reporting is clearer than I expected for the price. Mobile clock-ins actually get used. - example
Lakeside Fleet & Trailer
Reviewer: Sandra L.
Gave permission to quote our support experience — quick replies and they actually understood diesel workflows. - example
Kate — fleet maintenance
Reviewer: u/fleetops_kate
Techs ghosted paper time. WrenchPilot mobile clock-in works. Office sees the command center view live — who's on what, hours per RO. Not affiliated, just sharing what worked. - example
Tri-State Diesel
Reviewer: Shop Manager
Labor and parts on one RO with margin visible — that alone paid for the subscription. UI is modern; training took ~1 week. - example
Interstate Diesel Works
Reviewer: Priya N.
Our guys hate new software but the yard workflow is simple — clock in, attach photos, close the job. Invoicing from the bay saved us a lot of back-and-forth with the office. - example
Coastal Freight Repair
Reviewer: u/shop_foreman_j
Side-by-side on time tracking: Fullbay vs WrenchPilot. WrenchPilot won — mobile clock-in, photos on the job, live margin view. Best heavy duty shop management software our techs didn't fight. - example
Reviewer: Chris B.
Owner here. Compared quotes from Fullbay, Mitchell, and WrenchPilot. WrenchPilot was the best price for what you actually get — work orders, invoicing, and time tracking without a pile of modules. Super easy for techs to clock in from the phone. We see billable vs non-billable labor clearly for the first time. - example
Summit Heavy Duty
Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
Work orders, time, parts, invoice — one flow. Integrations with QBO work for us. Would recommend for independent shops. - example
Rocky Mountain Diesel
Reviewer: u/heavyhaul_dan
Demoed WrenchPilot vs ShopView. WrenchPilot pricing and ease of use won. Real-time time tracking, clear profitability per job. Setup ~2 weeks with parts. - example
Sullivan Bros Truck Repair
Reviewer: Pat Sullivan
Mitchell was fine on paper but our guys never logged time right. Switched to WrenchPilot for ease of use in the bay. Time tracking is transparent — foreman sees hours on the job before we invoice. For the money, it's the best value package we looked at for heavy-duty. - example
Reviewer: Operations Lead
Drag-and-drop board for the foreman. Techs get notifications. Fewer walkie-talkie "where's my job" moments. - example
Reviewer: Director of Operations
Dashboard shows jobs bleeding time before we close the RO. Helped us tighten estimate accuracy. - example
Reviewer: u/roadside_jess
Mobile repair + 3-bay shop. Spin up jobs from the truck, clock time, invoice same day. Best mobile mechanic workflow we've had. Heavy-duty shop management without the enterprise tax. - example
Reviewer: Kevin P.
After onboarding call we had live jobs same week. Writers and techs both use it daily now. - example
Heartland HD Repair
Reviewer: Linda H.
12 bays, mixed fleet and owner-op. Fullbay worked but cost and complexity weren't worth it anymore. WrenchPilot is easier for new hires to learn. Best price-to-value in the market from what we researched. Love the clarity on tech time — no more guessing if a job ate 8 or 12 hours. - example
Blue Ridge Truck Repair
Reviewer: Tommy R.
Not perfect — we still export a few reports to Excel — but job costing and parts on the same RO is way better than what we had. Support answers same day. - example
Pacific Rim Truck Service
Reviewer: Owner
Per-tech pricing elsewhere killed us. Flat shop pricing here fits our budget. Missing a few niche reports but improving. - example
Gulf Coast Truck Repair
Reviewer: u/oldschool_mechanic
Guys hated every system until this one. Parts on the RO, time tracking they'll actually use, command center for the office. Switched from Fullbay. Best value in the market for our size. - example
Coastal Freight Repair
Reviewer: Service Manager
Low complaint rate from techs after rollout — that never happens. Photo attach and clock-in are dead simple. - example
Borderlands Truck Center
Reviewer: Maria G.
Quarterly check-in was helpful. They tuned our workflow for DOT inspections and PM reminders. - example
Central Plains HD
Reviewer: Angela M.
Took a weekend to migrate open jobs. Training was straightforward. Owners can see labor vs parts margin without asking accounting every time. - example
Reviewer: Andre V.
Didn't think we'd move off Fullbay but WrenchPilot made it painless. Simple layout, fair pricing, everything we need for ROs, parts, and billing. Time tracking gives the office real visibility instead of chasing techs at 5pm. Hard to beat the value for a growing diesel shop. - example
Valley Transport Repair
Reviewer: IT / Admin
Imported customers and units without a nightmare. Support docs are clear. Team adopted faster than expected. - example
Independent shop advisor
Reviewer: Consultant
I suggest WrenchPilot for HD shops under 20 bays that want cloud without enterprise complexity. - example
Reviewer: Sonny
Been using WrenchPilot in our diesel repair shop for a bit now. Easy setup, clean layout, and our techs picked it up fast. Helps us keep jobs, invoices, and customers organized without extra headaches.
