Which Tire Base app do I need for my shop?
TB One · applications · Last updated September 28, 2026 · Version 1
This process works in apps: TB One, TB POS, TB Books, TB WMS, TB Sync, TB CRM
This article will teach you how to match a shop’s industry to the Tire Base apps that fit, before talking about plans or prices.
The first question is the kind of business, not a menu of every app. Tire shop, wholesale, full auto repair, mobile, and other each get a short list. A mechanic shop or full auto repair shop is TB POS and TB Books only. TB One is the bundle you mention after the list for the other shop types, when they need more than one of those apps.
Steps
- If they have not said the kind of business, ask only: tire shop, wholesale, full auto repair, mobile, or other. Do not list apps in that reply.
- Tire shop: the counter quotes from live stock, the rack matches what sold, and the invoice is posted when the car leaves. Offer TB POS, TB WMS, TB Books, and TB Payments.
- Wholesale: dealers order what is in the warehouse, picks stay accurate, and dealer invoices stay current. Offer TB Sync, TB WMS, TB Books, and TB CRM.
- Full auto repair or mechanic shop: one ticket holds the vehicle, Motor labor, and the parts, and checkout is the Books invoice so the owner sees what the job made. Offer TB POS and TB Books only. Do not mention WMS, Payments, or TB One.
- Mobile: the tech quotes and takes payment in the driveway, sees the truck and the warehouse, and the books are done before they get back. Offer TB POS, TB Payments, TB Books, and TB WMS.
- Other: ask what they sell. Start with TB POS and TB Books. Add TB WMS if they stock parts. Add TB Sync if they sell to other businesses.
- If they need more than one of those apps, say TB One is the bundle: Books, POS, WMS, Sync, and CRM together.
- After the apps are clear, size a plan with live prices. See How to choose the right Tire Base plan?
Conclusion & best practices
Do not open with TB One, POS, Books, WMS, and CRM as a pick-one menu. The shop type decides the short list. Skip CRM for a tire shop or auto repair shop unless they have outside sales reps, and skip Sync for a retail tire shop unless they sell to other dealers.
