Free truck shop software: what actually works.

Short answer: Most full truck repair shop software is paid. Free options that work are templates and spreadsheets: work orders, invoices, DVIR forms, PM schedules and parts lists. They fit a small shop; they stop working once dispatch, approvals and collections need to happen across a team.

Questions

Is there any free diesel shop management software?

Some vendors offer free trials, such as WrenchPod (30 days) and Fleetio (14 days) on their pricing pages; a trial is not free software. Templates are free.

When should I move off spreadsheets?

When jobs get lost between technicians, invoices go out late, or parts counts drift.
