Since 2015, Fullbay has made life easier for pretty much everyone who works in commercial diesel repair shops. Techs are more efficient and productive, parts managers can keep an eye on inventory, and owners can see exactly what’s going on in the shop at any given time—from just about anywhere.

What does all that mean? Well, Fullbay’s improved workflow leads to more vehicles being worked on—which means more revenue for your shop. And that revenue is easier than ever to collect; you can send estimates with the click of a button.

Shop customers also tend to be big fans of Fullbay—and not just because features like Fullbay Payments and Fleet Payments make it easy for them to settle up. They can authorize work, receive text message updates as work proceeds, and reach out to the shop with questions through their own portal.
