Mobile Service Sync vs Tekmetric

Different shops. Different software.

Tekmetric is excellent shop management software - if your shop has bay doors. Mobile Service Sync is built around the fact that your shop has a steering wheel. Here's an honest, feature-by-feature look at where each one wins.

The why

Why we built a different tool.

Mobile is a different shape

A bay-door shop schedules slots. A mobile shop schedules routes. Same word, completely different math.

Fleets > walk-ins

Mobile-service revenue concentrates in fleet contracts. We built the fleet portal first, not last.

The phone is the laptop

Your tech is in a driveway, not behind a counter. We designed the mobile app first, not as an add-on.

Drive-time = everything

If your software ignores how long it takes to get there, you'll always be late or always be empty.

Standing routes matter

Fleet customers want the same truck, same day, same week. We built recurring routes into the schema.
