Try TechsBox Free: What You Get in Your First 14 Days

Robert Dale Smith·

You don't need another sales pitch. You need to see if this thing actually works for your shop.

Here's the deal: TechsBox gives you 14 days, no credit card required, to set up your shop and start managing real work. Not a crippled demo. The real product.

And the 14 days don't start when you sign up. They start when you log your first job. Look around for a week first if you want: the clock doesn't move until the product has actually done something for you.

Day 1: You're Up and Running

Sign up takes about 90 seconds. Pick a name, choose a subdomain (yourshop.techsbox.com), and you're in. No phone call with a sales rep. No "book a demo" nonsense.

First thing you'll see is an onboarding checklist: add your services, create a customer, log your first job. Most shops finish this in under 10 minutes.

What's Included in the Trial

The whole product, with nothing capped. Unlimited jobs, unlimited customers, unlimited invoices, unlimited techs. Not a demo with the good parts switched off.

One thing is a plan feature rather than a trial feature, and you should hear it here rather than find out on day nine: SMS updates to customers unlock on Team at $49/mo, because every message costs us money to send. Everything below is yours from the first minute.

Job Tracking

Create jobs, assign techs, track status from check-in to completion. Your bench page shows what's in the shop right now. Your schedule shows what's coming.

Customer Management

Add customers manually or import them from a spreadsheet. CSV import handles messy data: we map 30+ column name variations automatically. Got 500 customers in a spreadsheet? That's a 2-minute import.

Invoicing

Create invoices from jobs, add line items, track payments. Print-ready layouts that look professional, not like they were made in Notepad.

Online Booking

Turn on public pages and customers can submit repair requests or book appointments right from your shop's page. You get email notifications. They get confirmation.

Customer Portal

Give customers a job number and they can check their repair status online. No more "is it done yet?" phone calls.

Team Management

Invite your techs. Assign roles. Track who's working on what. Activity logs show every status change, note, and assignment.

What Happens After 14 Days

Your data stays. Your shop stays. Nothing gets deleted, and you are not locked out of it.

What stops is writing. You can't create or update jobs until you pick a plan. Everything else still opens: your customer list, your job history, your invoices, your settings. Read it, search it, export it, for as long as you like. Locking a shop out of its own records to force a decision is a scummy way to sell software, so we don't.

Plans start at $15/month for solo shops. If you've got a team, the Team plan at $49/month adds multi-user support. Pro at $99/month gets you AI-powered insights: ask questions about your work history in plain English and get real answers from your data.

Why Not Just Use RepairShopr?

We wrote a whole comparison, but the short version: TechsBox is built specifically for repair shops by someone who ran one. It's faster to set up, simpler to use, and doesn't charge you extra for basic features like booking and customer portals.

RepairShopr is fine. Syncro is fine. But "fine" is a low bar when you're running a business.

The Bottom Line

If you're tracking repairs on a whiteboard, in a notebook, or in a spreadsheet you hate: you can do better in 10 minutes. The trial is free. The setup is fast. And if it's not for you, you haven't lost anything but a few minutes.
