Shortlist

The best invoicing app for mechanics

Sorted by what happens after you press send, because that is the part that costs you a Sunday.

Producing an invoice is the easy half. Every product on this page will turn a finished job into a document and put it in front of a customer within a minute. If that were the whole job, you could pick by colour scheme.

The expensive half is the second entry. The invoice exists in the software, and then it has to exist again in whatever your accountant looks at, and somebody types it there. For a mechanic doing a few jobs a day that second entry is an evening a month, and it is the single thing that separates the thirteen products below.

So the sort starts with getting the invoice out on a phone, and then goes straight to whether it lands anywhere else without you. On that second measure Fixty is last of everybody who has an answer at all, which is why it sits tenth. This page is published by Fixty and it is the page in this cluster where that is hardest to read, which is the point of writing the criteria down before the list rather than after it.

How this list was sorted

  1. 1

    Can you raise and send the invoice from the job, on a phone?

    An invoice written back at the house is an invoice sent two days late, and a job detail remembered wrong. Nine of the thirteen describe a phone as the whole workflow; the rest describe it as a companion to a desktop somebody else is sitting at.

  2. 2

    Can the customer pay from the same message?

    Eleven of the thirteen can do this in some form, so it eliminates almost nobody. It is on the list because a product that failed it would be disqualified outright, and stating a criterion only when it separates people is how a ranking gets steered. It does eliminate two now: one publishes nothing about payments at all, and one has the card tap inside the invoice on its roadmap rather than in the product.

  3. 3

    Does it reach your books without a second entry?

    This is the criterion that decides the order, and it is why the publisher of this page is tenth on it. Nine of the twelve competitors publish something: six a first party QuickBooks sync, one a two way sync with QuickBooks Online and Xero both, one a third party add on, one a built in ledger with a CSV export. Fixty publishes none of it. Not a thin version, not a beta. That is a real reason to pick something else and the ranking is built to say so.

  4. 4

    Is the invoice attached to a vehicle or to a property?

    A repair invoice that cannot name the car, and pull up what you did to it last time, becomes a stack of unrelated documents about the same customer. The auto repair products model a vehicle; the home service products model an address.

  5. 5

    What does it cost, and on which billing basis?

    Read the basis, not just the number. Every shop platform figure below is a per month rate that assumes a long commitment, so none of them is what you would pay in your first month. Several of the smaller tools charge the same either way, one is a single flat rate with no tiers, and one costs nothing. Two vendors publish no figure at all. Each entry says which is which.

What is not on this list

This page ranks systems that produce invoices as a by-product of running the job. It does not rank dedicated invoicing apps, accounting packages with an invoice module, or the payment apps that will email a receipt. Some of those are better answers if an invoice is genuinely all you want, and we hold no sourced data on them, so they are absent rather than dismissed.

It also does not rank paper. A carbon book and a bank transfer still works, costs nothing a month, and is why a lot of mechanics have never bought software. What it does not do is chase the invoice for you or tell you which ones are unpaid.

No figures here come from review sites, and none come from us about ourselves beyond our own published price.

It does not rank on whether the sync runs in one direction or two, except where a vendor says so. One does, and its entry quotes the sentence. For everybody else, ask: a sync that only pushes invoices out is a different product from one that reconciles payments back, and no feature grid distinguishes them.

1

Orderry

Orderry is first on the criterion this page is sorted by and it is not close. Their own answer is that they run two way integrations with QuickBooks Online and Xero, so invoices and payments stay up to date in both systems. Two way is the part that matters: a sync that only pushes invoices out still leaves somebody reconciling the payments, and nobody else on this page claims the return trip.

The rest holds up. The invoice comes off a work order board built for repair work rather than a job at an address, payments run through named processors, and the trial asks for an account and no card. The catch is the entry plan, which their own pricing page caps at two employees, one location and a fixed number of work orders every thirty days, and says cannot be extended. Invoice more than that in a month and you are on the next plan up.

Right for

A mechanic whose books are in QuickBooks Online or Xero and who wants the payments reconciled back rather than just the invoices pushed out.

Wrong for

A busy month. Read the entry plan work order ceiling before you buy, because it is the number that decides whether this price is the price.

ARI

ARI syncs invoices, customers and inventory into QuickBooks Online, and the inventory half is the part nobody else mentions. If the parts you put on the invoice are also the parts coming off a shelf, that is two records reaching the books instead of one, and it is the difference between a bookkeeping handoff and a bookkeeping job.

Everything the criteria ask for afterwards is there: the invoice runs from a phone, the customer pays online from it, the whole thing hangs off a vehicle and a job card, and the price is published month to month. You can look at the product first, though only just: their free tier is capped at five each of invoices, estimates, inspections, clients and vehicles.

Right for

A mechanic who carries stock and wants the parts as well as the invoice to arrive in QuickBooks without a second entry.

Wrong for

Somebody who wants to run a real fortnight through the free tier before deciding. Five invoices is a look, not a trial.

3

AutoLeap

AutoLeap wins this page because it is the only product in the set that clears the first four criteria at once. Their mobile mechanic page describes building estimates, collecting payment and pulling vehicle history from a driveway. Their payments page describes sending digital invoices by text or email. Their accounting page sells a QuickBooks integration outright.

It is not cheap and there is no trial. Their entry figure is an annual billing rate, and their pricing FAQ says plainly that they do not offer a free trial because they build the system around your shop data first.

Right for

A repair business that wants the invoice raised at the vehicle, paid from a text, and pushed into QuickBooks without anybody re-keying it.

Wrong for

Anyone who wants to test the invoicing flow before paying, and anyone comparing month to month costs, since the published figure is an annual rate.

Can you work from the phone

Yes

“Mobile mechanics can manage their full schedule, build and send estimates, collect payment, track service truck inventory, and access complete vehicle history from any device at any job site, whether they're in a customer's driveway, a car park, or on the road between jobs.”

4

Jobber

Jobber publishes the most detailed accounting sync in this set, and detail is the thing that matters here. Their QuickBooks page names what moves: clients, products and services, timesheets, invoices, payments, refunds, tips and payouts. Nobody else enumerates that far.

It also takes ACH bank transfer as well as card, its app page puts quoting, scheduling and getting paid on the phone, and its published figures are the lowest in this set on both billing bases, with the month to month rate sitting below Fixty Starter. It ranks second only because criterion four goes against it: Jobber is home service software, and the invoice hangs off a property rather than a vehicle.

Right for

A mechanic who wants the deepest bookkeeping handoff on this page and the lowest published entry figures on either billing basis, and does not need the paperwork to be vehicle shaped.

Wrong for

Work where vehicle history matters. Their own inspection and job form language is site inspections, and auto repair is not on their industries list.

Shopmonkey

Shopmonkey covers the accounting criterion twice over: their FAQ names QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop, which matters because a lot of long running repair businesses are still on the desktop file. Payment can be taken in person on their own card reader or remotely through a link sent by text or email.

It ranks below the three above it on the first criterion. Their own product page scopes the dedicated app to technicians and leaves owners and service writers in the web app, so raising the invoice yourself, on the phone, is a step further from what they describe.

Right for

A repair business whose books live in QuickBooks Desktop, and one that wants to hand a customer a card reader at the vehicle.

Wrong for

A one person operation working entirely from a phone, and anyone whose comparison is on month to month price: the published figure is a discounted annual rate.

6

Housecall Pro

Housecall Pro pushes invoices, customers, line items and payments into QuickBooks, publishes both its annual and its month to month rate rather than only the flattering one, and has a fourteen day trial you can start yourself.

It loses criterion four outright. Housecall Pro is written for home service trades, their industries list does not include auto repair, and their own mobile app framing keeps an office in the picture. As an invoicing tool for a mechanic it works; as a record of what you did to a specific car, it is not what it was built to be.

Right for

Mobile work that behaves like home service, at the second lowest published entry figure on this page, with a self serve trial to check it first.

Wrong for

Anyone who needs the invoice tied to a vehicle and its service history.

7

Tekmetric

Tekmetric is auto repair native and strong on everything invoicing touches: repair orders, payments including Apple Pay and Google Pay, and a Job Board that moves work through estimate, work in progress and completed.

On criterion three it is the weakest of the six competitors. The accounting link is a third party product from another company, listed as an add on, rather than a first party sync. That is still better than nothing, which is what Fixty has, but it is a second vendor and a second bill for the thing this page is sorted by.

Right for

A shop that wants repair order vocabulary and modern payment options, and is willing to buy accounting as a separate add on.

Wrong for

Someone who wants one vendor, one bill and a first party sync, or who wants to try the software before buying: their FAQ says demos and self guided tours, not trials.

QuoteIQ

QuoteIQ publishes something almost nobody does, and it is the reason to read their entry rather than their price card. Their own page for the entry plan lists what that plan does NOT include, by name, and QuickBooks Integration is on the list alongside job costing, photo documentation and in app calling. A vendor enumerating its own exclusions is worth more to a buyer than three pages of feature bullets.

So the integration exists and the cheap plan does not have it. That is criterion three answered honestly and answered in the negative for the plan you were probably pricing. Criterion four goes against it too: this is a home service CRM and the invoice hangs off a job rather than a vehicle.

Right for

Somebody who wants to know exactly which plan buys the QuickBooks link before calling anyone, and is going up a tier anyway.

Wrong for

Anyone pricing this on the entry plan and assuming the books are covered. Their own page says they are not.

Deelo

Deelo is the last product on this page with any answer at all to criterion three, and the answer is not a sync. Asked about it directly they describe a built in accounting app of their own that talks to invoicing and field service, plus a CSV export you can import into anything else. That is a ledger and a file, not an integration.

For a mechanic who has no accountant and no QuickBooks file, that may genuinely be enough, and it costs nothing on their free plan. For anybody whose books already live somewhere, a CSV export is the second entry with extra steps, which is the thing this page is sorted by avoiding.

Right for

Someone with no existing accounting file, who would rather keep the whole thing in one free tool than wire two together.

Wrong for

A QuickBooks or Xero file that has to stay current. Exporting a CSV every month is the manual work under a different name.

Fixty

This is us

Fixty clears criteria one, two and four cleanly. The invoice is raised on the phone at the vehicle, the customer pays from the same link, the record is attached to the car, and Starter is $99/mo published on a month to month basis with no seats to buy.

It fails criterion three completely, and criterion three is what this page is sorted by. There is no QuickBooks integration, no Xero integration, no accounting sync of any kind and no export of any kind today. Every one of the nine products above it has an answer, including the two whose answers are a third party add on and a CSV file. If your bookkeeper expects the invoices to arrive on their own, that is a decisive reason to buy one of them instead of Fixty, and this ranking is built so you cannot miss it.

Right for

A solo mobile mechanic who does their own books by hand and wants the invoice and the payment to happen at the roadside on one link.

Wrong for

Anyone with a bookkeeper, an accountant on a monthly retainer, or a QuickBooks file that has to stay current. Fixty will make that person work harder, not less.

Trackara Pro

Trackara Pro is first on our page about the best app for a mobile mechanic and eleventh here, and both criteria this page cares about are why. Nothing found on their site describes pushing anything into QuickBooks or Xero. Their tax feature is a mileage and deduction report the mechanic reads, which is a genuinely useful thing and is not the same thing. That row is recorded as not found rather than as a no.

Criterion two is the other one. Their own roadmap says the card tap inside the invoice view is still being finished. An invoicing page has to rank an invoice you cannot yet be paid from below an invoice you can, whatever the rest of the product does.

Right for

A mechanic who does their own taxes and wants the mileage log kept automatically, and is buying this product for the driving day rather than the paperwork.

Wrong for

Getting paid from the invoice today, or getting the invoice into an accountant’s software at all. Ask them about both before buying for either.

ServiceTitan

ServiceTitan publishes named accounting integrations and would score well on criterion three. It is last because of criterion five: there is no published price at all. Each package on their pricing page carries a request pricing button, and their own sentence says the pricing is fitted to the business.

The shape is also wrong for this question. Work order creation is described as happening in the office on a desktop application or in the field on a mobile app, which is a division of labour a mechanic invoicing their own jobs does not have.

Mobile Mechanic Hub

Mobile Mechanic Hub is last because there is nothing on this page’s criteria to rank it on. Invoices and payments appear in a list of what the platform handles. That is the whole published evidence: nothing about how the customer pays, nothing about accounting, and no price anywhere on the site.

The product is built for mobile mechanics and nobody else, which counts for something on other pages in this cluster. On this one, where the sort is entirely about where the invoice goes after you send it, an unanswered question ranks below a bad answer.

Right for

A mechanic who will book the call and can ask all three questions on it.

The second entry is the whole cost

Read the accounting sentences from these companies next to each other and the differences are not marketing, they are scope. Jobber lists eight record types moving into QuickBooks Online, down to tips and payouts. Housecall Pro lists four: invoices, customers, line items, payments. ServiceTitan names a QuickBooks Desktop integration. Shopmonkey names both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop.

Tekmetric is the odd one: the accounting link exists, and it is a third party company partnering with them to provide it. AutoLeap sells a QuickBooks Online sync as a headline feature.

The six brands added to this page in August 2026 changed the shape of that list rather than lengthening it. Orderry publishes the only two way sync here, with QuickBooks Online and Xero both, so payments come back rather than only invoices going out. ARI moves invoices, customers and inventory into QuickBooks Online, and the inventory half is a record nobody else mentions. QuoteIQ has the integration and puts it above the entry plan, which they state themselves. Deelo answers with a ledger of their own and a CSV export, which is not a sync. Trackara Pro and Mobile Mechanic Hub publish nothing about it at all.

Fixty has none of this either. Not a thin version, not a beta, not an export. Anyone who tells you otherwise about Fixty is reading an old page. If the second entry is the reason you are shopping, this page has nine better answers than the one it is published on, and that is why the publisher of this page is tenth on it.

Nobody here sells an invoicing app

It is worth naming what this category actually is, because the search phrase and the products do not match. None of the thirteen is an invoicing app. All thirteen are systems that run a job and emit an invoice at the end of it, and they are priced accordingly: every subscription on this page buys scheduling, customer records, estimates and payments whether you use them or not, including the one that costs nothing.

If the invoice really is all you want, the honest advice is that a dedicated invoicing product will do it for less, and you should not buy a job system to get one. We hold no sourced data on those products, so they are named nowhere on this page.

The reason mechanics end up buying a system anyway is that the invoice is never the first document. It is the last one in a chain that started with a phone call and an estimate, and re-typing the same job description three times is the thing that eventually costs more than the subscription.

A vehicle is not an address

Four of these products are written around a property or a generic job and it shows in the language they use. Jobber describes creating a quote before you have left the customer's property, and their inspections are site inspections and assessments. Housecall Pro is designed, in their words, for home service businesses like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, cleaning and landscaping. QuoteIQ is a home service CRM sold across dozens of trades. Deelo is a suite of general business apps with an industry template on the front.

For invoicing specifically, the consequence is small but permanent. The invoice hangs off the customer and the address rather than the car, so a household with three vehicles becomes one pile of documents. Nothing breaks. You just lose the answer to what did I do to this car last time, which is the question every repeat customer actually asks.

The rest of this set attaches the work to the vehicle instead: the four shop systems, plus Orderry, ARI, Trackara Pro, Mobile Mechanic Hub and Fixty. That is the entirety of the difference, and for some mechanics it is worth nothing and for others it is the reason to switch. It is also the one axis on this page where Fixty is on the right side of the line and still ranks tenth, which is a fair summary of how much criterion three outweighs it.

Questions

What is the best invoicing app for a mechanic?

It depends almost entirely on whether the invoice has to reach your accounting software on its own. If it does, Orderry is the strongest answer on this page: a two way sync with QuickBooks Online and Xero, so payments reconcile back rather than invoices only going out. ARI is next and carries inventory across as well. AutoLeap, Jobber, Shopmonkey, Housecall Pro and ServiceTitan all publish a sync too. Fixty publishes none, so Fixty is the wrong answer to that question and is tenth here because of it. If you do your own books by hand and want the invoice raised and paid at the vehicle from one link, Fixty is competitive on every other criterion on this page.

Can I just use an accounting package to invoice repair jobs?

You can, and plenty of mechanics do. What you give up is the link between the invoice and everything that came before it: the estimate the customer approved, the photos, the parts, the vehicle history. That is what the systems on this page charge a monthly fee for, and if you do not need that link the accounting package is cheaper.

Which of these is cheapest for invoicing?

Read the basis under each entry rather than the number. None of the six shop platform headline figures is comparable to Fixty Starter as printed, because every one assumes a long commitment; Jobber and Housecall Pro also publish a month to month rate and both sit below Fixty Starter. The smaller tools mostly do not play that game: several charge the same either way, one is a single flat rate covering every feature, and one costs nothing at all. Two vendors publish no figure anywhere. Compare like with like or you will pick wrong.

Does Fixty sync with QuickBooks?

No. There is no QuickBooks or Xero integration in Fixty today, and no export either. Parts are tracked on a job rather than as stock, and the accounting handoff is done by hand. This page ranks Fixty below nine products with some answer to that, including two whose answer is a third party add on and a CSV file, for exactly that reason.

If Fixty is the one that fits

Fixty is a CRM for one mobile mechanic: estimates approved by text, photo inspections, scheduling and card payments, all from a phone. Starter is $99/mo and Growth is $149/mo, both with the same 14 day free trial, and if one of the products above suits your work better, buy that one instead.
