Best invoice apps for auto repair shops.

Seven apps for mechanics and auto repair shops, each best for something different: a mobile or one-person mechanic, a full shop, or simple invoicing.

We make Wow Invoice, so read this knowing that. Every fact about the other apps comes from their own website or app store page, dated under Sources.

Questions

What goes on an auto repair invoice?

Your shop name and contact, the customer, the car (make, model, year, plate, mileage), the date and invoice number, then each line: labour and parts like oil, filters and spark plugs. Add tax if you charge it, the total, and how to pay.

Can an estimate become an invoice?

In Wow Invoice you turn it into an invoice with one tap when the client says yes. Invoice Fly and QuickBooks also say so on their own sites.

Does my client need the app?

Not with Wow Invoice. Your client gets a link that opens in any browser and can pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay from it.

What is the cheapest for one person?

Wow Invoice and Square Invoices are free to download. Paid plans start at: Invoice Simple at $6.99 a month for 3 invoices, Invoice Fly at $8.99 a week or $98.99 a year, QuickBooks Simple Start at $38 a month, Tekmetric Start at $179–$199 a month and Shopmonkey Basic at $215–$239 a month, as listed on their own sites in October 2026. Prices are US dollars, monthly billing unless noted.

Does it work outside the US?

Wow Invoice works in English, Spanish, French, German and Italian, with over 135 currencies. Invoice Simple offers 23 languages.

Why isn’t my app on this list?

We picked apps that one person or a small crew could use, plus one or two bigger tools where a trade has them. Dealer and multi-location shop systems are built for much bigger businesses, so we left them out.
