Mobile Service Sync vs. LubeSoft

Built for the Bay Timer. We're Built for the Route.

LubeSoft Express is ISI Software's quick lube point of sale, and ISI has sold to lube shops since 1987: bay timers, windshield labels, podiums and card terminals at the counter. When its pages say mobile, they mean a shop owner checking reports from a phone. Mobile Service Sync is for the business where the shop is the van.

6 Reasons Mobile Crews Pick Mobile Service Sync Over LubeSoft

  1. One Click Puts Each Van's Day in Order

    ISI's product pages are written around bays, stores and locations, and none of them mentions a van or a route.

    Drag jobs onto a tech, then one click sequences that tech's stops on real Mapbox drive times. Every van's stops sit on one map, and moving a stop to another van is one drag. When the margin is the drive between driveways, this is the screen that pays for the software.

  2. A Technician App on iPhone and Android

    There is no LubeSoft app in the App Store or Google Play. Ours is in both.

    Live on the App Store and Google Play. Today's stops in order with one-tap navigation, the on-my-way text, photo inspections, the van's stock, clock in and out, and the payment before the tech pulls away. The laptop stays home.

    Job detail in the tech app: vehicle, service, and payment
  3. Online Booking That Knows Your Day

    The intake LubeSoft names is QR code check-in at the shop. A mobile customer books from their own driveway.

    Customers book on your hosted page or a widget on your own site. They pick the package and the time and enter their plate. Open slots follow your hours, your service area, and how many techs and vans are working, so nobody books a time you cannot reach.

  4. It Keeps Working With No Signal

    LubeSoft's FAQ describes access from anywhere with an internet connection. A van is not always anywhere with one.

    The day's jobs download to the phone. In a parking garage or a dead zone, job status, inspections with photos, mark complete, line items, cash and check payments and the time clock all still work, then sync when the signal comes back, stamped with the time they were tapped.

    A garage level with no bars. The job still gets done, and the office sees it at 9:12, not whenever the van drove out.
  5. Every Vehicle Gets Its Own Next-Due Date

    A windshield sticker works when the car comes back to your bay. A mobile customer gets the reminder by email or text, with a link to book.

    When a job closes, the vehicle gets a due date from its own interval, its fleet's default, or how often it actually comes back. Switch reminders on and the customer gets an email, plus a text if they opted in, with a link to book the next one.

  6. One Price, Month to Month

    LubeSoft is priced after a demo, on a 12-month agreement that renews itself unless you cancel 90 days ahead, and the agreement expects payments through ISI within 60 days. Ours is on the pricing page, month to month.

    Core is $49 a month, Growth is $175 with two users, and Pro is $299 with five. Extra users are $29. Plate lookup, routing, the tech app, payments, reviews and QuickBooks sync are on every plan. No contract, no onboarding fee, and 14 days free without a card.

When LubeSoft Might Be the Better Call

  • For a multi-location quick lube chain, LubeSoft is built for exactly that: one dashboard across stores, bay timers on the shop TVs, windshield labels and fleet card processing at the counter.
  • ISI has sold to lube shops since 1987 and works with Carfax and MOTOR for vehicle data.

Questions Crews Ask

LubeSoft Express is built for fixed quick lube shops. ISI's post on mobile oil change software is about shop owners checking reports from a phone, and no ISI page mentions vans or routes. Mobile Service Sync is built for mobile oil change: one-click routes, a tech app on both app stores that works offline, and online booking with plate lookup.

Both are ISI Software products. pmattendant.com now redirects to ISI's site, which lists PM Attendant beside LubeSoft Express.

ISI does not publish prices; it quotes after a demo, on a 12-month term that renews unless cancelled 90 days ahead. Mobile Service Sync is $49, $175 or $299 a month, month to month, with a 14-day free trial.

Not in the App Store or Google Play; LubeSoft Express runs in a browser. Mobile Service Sync's tech app is on both stores and keeps working offline.
