The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AutoVitals the Internet Archive's capture of AutoVitals' homepage on 17 December 2021 stated a guarantee that if a shop follows AutoVitals' best practices and does not raise its average repair order by 20 percent within 90 days, AutoVitals will tear up the contract with no penalty; no price figure is published, only demo requests.; Tekion the Internet Archive's capture of Tekion's homepage on 22 January 2021 stated the platform carries a 30-day cancellation notice rather than a long-term contract lock-in, and charges zero integration fees to OEM and ecosystem partners; no price figure was published, only 'Request Demo'.
  • They diverge on capability: AutoVitals covers Digital inspections, Tekion covers Cloud-native DMS.
