Mobile Service Sync vs. QuoteIQ

A Quote Is Not a Vehicle Record.

QuoteIQ is an all-in-one CRM for home-service contractors that began in pressure washing, and it now runs pages for mobile oil change, mechanics and detailing. Mobile Service Sync is built only for work on vehicles, so the car, the route and the fleet are the center of it, not an add-on to a quote.

6 Reasons Mobile Crews Pick Mobile Service Sync Over QuoteIQ

  1. License Plate to VIN Lookup on Every Plan

    QuoteIQ has no vehicle record, and its own help center sends detailers who need VIN scanning to a competitor.

    Type a plate and state and the VIN, year, make, model, trim and engine fill in, and a VIN decodes the same way. It works in the office, in the tech app, and on your booking page, where the customer types their own plate. Oil weight and capacity are saved on the vehicle, so the next visit starts with them.

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

    QuoteIQ's route optimization starts on its $299.99 Elite plan. Ours is on every plan.

    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.

  3. Texting Lives on the Customer Record

    QuoteIQ's two-way texting starts on Pro at $199.99 and draws down monthly credits. Ours comes with a monthly allowance on every plan.

    Two-way texting threaded into each customer, registered for A2P 10DLC, with photos both ways. 1,000 texts a month on Core, 5,000 on Growth, 10,000 on Pro.

  4. Stock Counted Per Van

    Truck inventory at QuoteIQ starts on Elite. Here it is on every plan.

    Oil, filters and parts are counted per van and per shop location, come off the van's count when the job is completed, and the tech app shows what is on board with a restock request.

  5. Fleet Accounts, Built In

    Fleet washing is a trade QuoteIQ sells to. Fleet accounts are something we run.

    Each fleet carries its own pricing, its PO-required rule and net-15 or net-30 terms, applied every time it books. On Growth and Pro the fleet manager gets a portal: every vehicle, what is coming due, service requests that land with your dispatcher, and a roster they can export.

  6. Every Vehicle Gets Its Own Next-Due Date

    With no vehicle record, a reminder has nothing to follow but the calendar. Ours follow the vehicle.

    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.
