Built for mobile diesel mechanics

One truck, run from your phone.

Short answer: For a mobile diesel mechanic working out of one truck, MetaFleet runs the whole job from a phone browser: read the VIN from a photo, write shorthand and let the AI draft the repair lines, take a card hold or send a pay link, and let QuickBooks Online take the books.

What other mobile repair software pages list, and what MetaFleet adds

Fullbay's mobile truck repair page lists job scheduling, mileage logged en route and a phone clock-in for labor hours, paperless estimates, service orders and invoices, payment on the spot, customer repair history and inventory across locations and trucks. Shopmonkey's mobile mechanic page lists estimates and invoices, text and email messaging, digital inspections, reports and on-site payments.

MetaFleet covers the same day on the road and adds: dispatch that ranks techs by real drive time and explains the pick, a card hold before the drive, AI repair lines written from the tech's shorthand, separate en route and on site clocks on the service order, line-by-line fleet approvals from a link or the portal, after-hours rates and nearest truck stock by drive time.

Questions

Can I see drive time separately from job time?

Yes. The time clock logs drive time as en route and job time as on site, tied to the service order.

Can a fleet customer approve the work before I start?

Yes. The estimate goes out as a link and the fleet approves or declines each line, or uses the customer portal.

Is MetaFleet too big for one truck?

It runs in a phone browser with nothing to install. Pricing is shared on a walkthrough.

Do I need a native app?

No. Native apps are stated for Q4 2026; the phone browser works today.

Questions people ask

Asked in search and in mechanic forums. Answers use only MetaFleet's public pages and the dated vendor pages cited on this site.

What do I need to start a mobile diesel repair business?

A service truck, insurance that covers road work, a way to invoice and get paid on site, and a parts plan for the truck. See how to set up a mobile service truck.

Is Fullbay too much for a one-man mobile operation?

Fullbay publishes plans from $188 per month. Solo operators in forums often weigh lighter tools. Compare in the mobile mechanic roundup.
