Trailer Repair Business Invoicing App (2026)
Trailer work splits into walk-in repairs, roadside calls, and fleet accounts that want one monthly statement. ShowTheReceipts ($15/mo) handles all three: itemized parts and labor on each job, a roadside call-out line, and consolidated invoicing for a fleet customer instead of thirty separate tickets.
How we picked
Entry-plan prices as published in 2026, checked against each vendor's own pricing page or a recent third-party summary. Judged on the small trailer shop's real workflow — itemized repair invoicing, roadside call-out fees, and fleet account billing — not on multi-location inventory.

Three kinds of customer, one shop
A homeowner with a utility trailer, a stranded hauler on the interstate, and a fleet with forty units all want completely different billing.
One system that does all three beats three systems that each do one.

Frequently asked questions
How should a roadside trailer call be billed?
A call-out fee plus labor and parts, with the call-out quoted before you roll. Emergency response has a price, and the customer stranded on a shoulder is not the person who'll argue about it — as long as it was stated.
How do I bill a fleet customer without drowning in tickets?
Bill them as one account with a consolidated invoice covering the period's jobs, each unit itemized. Fleet accounts payable departments pay a clean monthly statement far faster than a pile of individual tickets.
Should DOT inspections be a flat rate?
Yes, flat rate per inspection with any failed-item repairs quoted separately. Bundling the repair into the inspection price makes a simple recurring service look expensive and unpredictable.
How do I keep records for warranty and repeat work?
Keep every job on the customer and unit, so pulling last year's axle service takes a search rather than a filing cabinet. It also settles most 'you already fixed that' conversations in about ten seconds.
