Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tekmetric is cloud-based automotive repair shop management software for independent shops, mobile mechanics, franchises, and multi-location operators. It brings repair orders, estimate building, digital vehicle inspections, customer approvals, parts and inventory management, technician time clocks, invoicing, reporting, payments, and integrations into one platform. Web, iOS, and Android access supports shop teams, technicians, and mobile inspection workflows. Its coverage fits small, mid-market, and enterprise operations that want a shared system for daily repair work and shop administration.
Pricing is organized by shop and billed monthly or annually. Start costs $199 per shop per month with monthly billing or $179 with annual billing, including inventory and vendor management, digital vehicle inspections, Smart Jobs, and digital authorizations and invoicing. Grow costs $349 monthly or $309 with annual billing and adds Labor Guide, Maintenance Schedule, Time and Job Clocks, plus parts, inventory, and marketing reports. Scale costs $439 monthly or $409 with annual billing and adds two-way texting, a real-time shop dashboard, a technician board, and employee performance analytics. Enterprise includes everything in Scale, integrated payments, a dedicated account manager, and quarterly business reviews. Tekmetric offers free demos and self-guided tours rather than a free trial.
The platform’s ecosystem includes PartsTech, Advance Auto Parts, AdvancePro, ALLDATA, ShopGenie, CARFAX, The Back Office, MotoVisuals, Slack, and QuickBooks. Its feature set also includes VIN and license-plate decoding, digital inspections with photos and videos, electronic signatures, declined-work history, technician time clocks, and reporting across shop, financial, employee, customer, parts, and inspection operations. Support is available through email, phone, chat, and documentation. Choose Tekmetric when broad workflow coverage, mobile access, reporting, and multi-shop management justify a paid system. Smaller shops seeking a free option or a lower starting cost should consider alternatives.
