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

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

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

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
