Fleet maintenance software tracks every vehicle, schedules preventive maintenance by mileage or engine hours, logs work orders and parts, stores service and inspection history, and surfaces your cost per vehicle — so you replace a $400 part on schedule instead of a $4,000 breakdown on the side of the road. Most tools price per vehicle, roughly $3 to $15 each per month. Here's what to look for and when a spreadsheet is still enough.
We run our own service companies and we're honest about software: buy the tool that fits the workflow you'll actually use, not the longest feature list. Below is the buyer's view, plus where our included lead capture fits if you run a shop that services other people's fleets.
Set service intervals by mileage, engine hours, or date, and get reminders before a vehicle is due. This is the core value — catching maintenance on schedule is what cuts breakdowns and extends vehicle life.
Open a work order, log labor and parts, track inventory, and keep a full service history per vehicle. When you sell or audit a truck, the record is there.
Many platforms pull GPS, engine fault codes, and fuel-card data so cost-per-mile is automatic. Useful, but the hardware and data plans add cost — decide if you need it before paying for it.
DOT inspections, driver vehicle inspection reports, and registration renewals tracked with reminders so a lapse doesn't ground a truck or draw a fine.
For under about five vehicles, a shared sheet with mileage and calendar reminders works. The cost is the discipline to keep it current.
The standard model. A 10-truck fleet commonly lands at $50–$150 a month. Preventive scheduling, work orders, and reports without hardware.
Adds GPS units and data plans for automatic mileage, location, and engine data. Worth it for larger fleets where manual tracking breaks down; overkill for a handful of vehicles.
We'd rather you spend right. Skip paid fleet software for now if:
Fleet maintenance software runs your bays. Getting fleet accounts in the door is a different job — and that's where we fit. Our included AI lead capture (from $249/mo) answers a fleet manager who finds you at night, captures the company, vehicle count, and contact, and routes it to you instantly. Pair it with a site that ranks for "fleet maintenance" and "commercial truck repair" in your area.

Tracks vehicles, schedules preventive maintenance, logs work orders and parts, stores service history, manages fuel and cost per vehicle, and flags compliance items like DOT inspections.
Most tools charge $3–$15 per vehicle per month. Small fleets often pay $30–$200 total. Telematics hardware and data add per-vehicle fees on top.
Under about five vehicles, a spreadsheet and reminders usually do. The software pays off around 5–10 vehicles, once missed maintenance and compliance paperwork cost more than the fee.
