When Tekmetric is the better fit
If you run a mechanical repair shop and want inspections, parts ordering, inventory and invoicing built around the repair order in one system, Tekmetric is built for that.
When Carvikon is the better fit
- You are not a general repair shop. Collision, wrap and tint, quick lube and heavy duty work run on stages and waits, and Carvikon has a board preset for each.
- You already have estimating, such as CCC ONE or Mitchell, and need to see the floor.
- You want to spend less. Carvikon Pro is $99 a month per shop.
- You want the board on the shop TV and every phone, on every plan.
Getting started
Carvikon has no free trial. You pick a plan and pay for the first month, with a 30-day money-back guarantee and no contract, or you book a live demo first.
