RO Writer vs. Tekmetric
Tired of Fighting Your Shop Software?
Software that looks powerful until basic jobs take three extra clicks and support goes quiet after onboarding.
Switch to RO Writer, the high-performance powerhouse that grows with your shop. Easy to learn, easier to use.
Why Shops Switch
Every Tekmetric headache, fixed.
Tekmetric
RO Writer
Locks two-way texting behind their expensive, third-tier plan, forcing you to pay extra for a basic feature.
78% of customers prefer texting businesses which is why we include two-way texting in all our plans.
Owners report basic actions taking three or more clicks on a busy, slow interface.
Write a repair order in fewer clicks through a workflow shaped by real shops, not a feature list.
New staff struggle to get comfortable and teams spend more time learning the software than working.
Custom onboarding and a layout your team picks up in days, refined over decades of shop use.
Shops say follow-up drops off after onboarding and answers start to feel generic.
Live US-based support that stays with you. Plus ticket and email options for your convenience.
Reviewers call the labor guide ‘full of holes’ with some being told to pay extra for a third-party guide.
Smart eCat puts accurate parts and labor right in the repair order. Search and order parts in 50% less time.
Cloud-only means a single internet outage can lock you out of your own shop.
