Stokpax vs Torque360

An honest Stokpax vs Torque360 comparison: Torque360 is repair-order shop management from $89.99/month, with real parts-ordering integrations locked to its higher tiers.

Torque360 is a cloud-based shop management platform for auto repair shops — scheduling, repair orders, estimates, digital inspections — with invoicing and basic inventory tracking bundled into every plan. It is a cheaper entry point than Tekmetric or Shopmonkey ($89.99/month vs $199+/month), but the parts side is still built to support a repair order, not a parts counter: real parts-ordering integrations (Nexpart) only unlock on the Turbo plan and up, and Epicor parts management is Supercharged-only. Stokpax is the other shape — inventory, invoicing, customer/supplier accounts and cash for a business that sells stock, with no repair-order workflow to work around. Here is a straight comparison, including where Torque360 is the better fit.

The honest verdict

If you run a repair shop and want scheduling, digital inspections and repair-order billing at a lower entry price than Tekmetric or Shopmonkey, Torque360's $89.99/month Starter plan is a reasonable place to start. But if you are a parts store or wholesaler with no repair orders — just stock coming in and invoices going out — you would be paying for a repair-order platform and still need Turbo ($179.99/mo) or higher just to get real parts-ordering integrations. Stokpax covers inventory and invoicing natively for that business, from $29/month with a 7-day free trial.

Frequently asked questions

Does Torque360 have inventory management?

Every Torque360 plan includes basic inventory tracking, but real parts-ordering integrations (Nexpart) only unlock on the Turbo plan ($179.99/month) and up, with Epicor parts management reserved for the custom-priced Supercharged plan.

How much does Torque360 cost compared to Stokpax?

Torque360 starts at $89.99/month (Starter), $179.99/month (Turbo) for parts-ordering integrations, and custom pricing for Supercharged. Stokpax is a single plan from $29/month covering inventory, invoicing, customer/supplier accounts and cash, with a 7-day free trial.

Is Torque360 good for a parts store, not a repair shop?

Torque360 is built around the repair-order workflow — technician scheduling, digital inspections, estimates — for auto repair shops. A parts store or wholesaler that just sells stock and invoices for it is usually better served by an inventory-and-invoicing tool built for that job.
