Heavy-duty shop management, written for you.
What heavy-duty shop management software has to do
- Unit records by VIN for tractors, trailers and equipment
- Estimates fleet customers approve line by line
- Parts by bin and on service trucks
- Invoices with fleet terms, synced to accounting
- Bays and road calls on one board
How MetaFleet covers it
MetaFleet reads the unit from a VIN photo, drafts repair lines with suggested labor, tracks parts by bin and service truck, and sends invoices, bills and purchase orders to QuickBooks Online.
Where MetaFleet is not the right pick
Shops that need built-in labor guides today, and teams that need a native mobile app before Q4 2026.
Questions
What is the difference between heavy-duty and auto shop software?
Heavy-duty tools handle commercial units, fleet accounts with terms, and often mobile road service. Auto tools center on passenger cars and retail customers.
Does MetaFleet have heavy-duty labor times?
Not built in; MetaFleet does not connect to MOTOR or Mitchell 1, and the AI suggests labor hours on repair lines.
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 is the best heavy-duty shop management software?
It depends on the work. Shops that live in labor guides often weigh Fullbay or Mitchell 1; mixed shops look at Shopmonkey with its Heavy Duty add-on. MetaFleet fits shops where write-ups, road calls and fleet billing take the most time. See the sourced roundup.
Is Fullbay worth the cost for a small heavy-duty shop?
Fullbay publishes plans from $188 per month plus $89 to $119 per extra user, read 2026-10-29. Total it for your headcount a year out and compare. See Fullbay pricing explained.
What should I test in a heavy-duty shop software demo?
Run one of your own Class 8 repair orders end to end: unit by VIN, estimate, fleet approval, parts, invoice and the sync to your books.
