MOBILE-MECHANIC FEATURES

Built for Mobile Work

Three features included in every Trackara Pro plan.

IRS Mileage Tracking

Log every mile to job sites automatically. At the 2026 IRS standard mileage rates (72.5 cents per mile through June 30, 76 cents from July 1), 25,000 business miles is roughly $18,000 to $19,000 in deductions.

Built-In OBD2 Diagnostics

Connect a Bluetooth OBD2 scanner directly to Trackara Pro. Read DTCs, view live sensor data, and attach diagnostic reports to customer vehicles, no separate app needed.

Full Offline Mode

Create invoices, log time, and access client data with no cell service. Everything syncs automatically when you reconnect.

A Note on Marketing-Only Tools

Platforms like Steer ($189–$629/mo), Shopgenie (now Tekmetric Marketing, $345–$495/mo), and AutoOps (now part of Steer) are marketing and CRM layers, not shop management software. They handle appointment reminders, review requests, and email campaigns, but have no invoicing, estimates, work orders, or inventory. They must be paired with a separate shop management system. We didn't include them in the comparison table because they serve a different purpose.
