Every published auto repair shop software price we could find in October 2026, the add-ons that raise the bill, and which vendors only quote.

We read each vendor's own pricing page in October 2026, used regular prices rather than promotions, and noted who only quotes. We make BayRobin, one of the tools listed.
Key takeaways
- Most vendors discount yearly billing by about 10%.
- Labor guides usually start on the second tier: Tekmetric Grow $349, Shopmonkey Clever $399, AutoLeap Pro $349, Shop-Ware Pro $389.
- Marketing, online booking and reminders are often extra: Tekmetric Marketing $345 a month, Shopmonkey CRM Essentials $314 to $349, Shop-Ware and Protractor scheduler add-ons $249.
- Mitchell 1 doesn't publish Manager SE on its own; its TeamWorks bundle with ProDemand is $348 a month on a 12-month lease. AI call answering is published only by AutoLeap (AIR from $99) and BayRobin (included).
Disclosure: we make BayRobin, one of the tools on this list. Every other product's details come from its public pages or published reviews, checked in October 2026 and linked at the end. We include each tool's real strengths, and say who it suits better than us.
How we compared them
We used each vendor's own pricing page in October 2026. Where a page shows two prices without labels, we say so. Where a vendor doesn't publish a price, we write "not published" and don't repeat third-party estimates.
