Automation for auto detailing businesses
Auto Detailing automation: less phone tag, more booked details.
You can't answer the phone with a buffer in your hand. Customers want a price before they book, but every interior is different. Mobile jobs need addresses and water access, and ceramic coating clients never hear from you again.
Built for auto detailing businesses
What a bot can take off your plate
- Interior and exterior photo quoteCustomers text photos of their car. The bot reads the condition and gives a range from your package prices, or asks for a look.
- Package and add-on bookingCustomers pick a package, add pet hair, odor or headlight work, and book a time.
- Mobile job details collectionMobile bookings collect address, water and power access, and parking notes ahead of time.
- Ceramic coating maintenance remindersCoating customers get maintenance wash reminders on your schedule.
- Fleet and dealer accountsFleet and dealership clients get recurring scheduling and simple monthly summaries.
- Before-and-after review requestsCustomers get their before-and-after photos with a review ask.
- Upgrade: Photo quoteCustomers text or upload a photo of the car interior or paint. The bot names the likely issue, gives a price range from your own price book and sends your booking link. It's an estimate your tech confirms on site, never a binding quote.
Plus the everyday essentials
- Missed-call text-backEvery missed call gets an instant text back, so customers who would have called the next business book with you instead.
- 24/7 online bookingCustomers pick a time any hour of the day, so your calendar fills while you work or sleep.
- Instant quote and estimate follow-upQuotes go out fast and get friendly follow-ups, so fewer go quiet and more turn into booked work.
- Appointment remindersText and email reminders cut no-shows and last-minute cancellations, so fewer wasted trips and empty slots.
- Review requestsAfter each detail, customers get a well-timed review ask, so more of your happy customers actually leave one.
- Invoice and payment nudgesUnpaid invoices get polite reminders, so you get paid faster without awkward calls.
- Lead capture from Google and FacebookLeads from your Google profile, ads, site and Facebook land in one place with an instant reply, so fewer slip through.
- Job-day and on-my-way textsCustomers get a heads-up when you're on the way, so they're ready and you're not calling from the driveway.
- Upsell and reactivation campaignsPast customers get timely offers and check-ins, bringing in repeat work from people who already know you.
- Referral asksSatisfied customers are invited to refer friends, so word of mouth keeps working.
- Inbox sortingYour email is sorted and labeled, and only what needs you rises to the top.
- Simple weekly reportingOne short report shows leads, bookings, reviews and what's waiting on you, in plain English.
You approve every message before it goes live. Automatic texts only use templates you signed off on, and one-off replies wait for your OK.

What gets in the way

- Missed calls while workingDetailers lose bookings because their hands are full.
- Mobile no-shows and surprisesNo water, no power or a locked garage wastes the trip.
- No repeat businessCoating and detail customers would come back, but nobody reminds them.

What this saves you
Example math
- Example: 12 quote requests a week, and fast photo replies book 3 more.
- Example: 3 jobs × an example $200 detail × 4 weeks = $2,400 a month you'd otherwise miss.
- Example: one wasted mobile trip avoided each week saves a couple of hours.

Questions owners ask
FAQ
Will it under-quote a trashed interior?
No. Ranges come from your package prices and minimums, never below your floor, and bad or unclear photos get 'we'll need a quick look.'
Does it work with my booking tool?
It can connect with tools like Urable, Square, Jobber and Calendly, or run beside them.
Can I show no prices?
Yes. Turn ranges off and use photo intake plus booking only.
Will it sound robotic?
Messages are in your voice and approved by you.
Can it handle fleet clients?
Yes. Recurring schedules and simple monthly summaries for each account.
Do customers need an app?
No. Everything is by text.
Integrations are listed as examples of tools it can connect with. We confirm your exact setup on the free call.

Watch it happen
We build your site, then switch on the automations
First the website goes up, on desktop and phone. Then the bots connect: new leads get an instant text, bookings land on your calendar, review requests go out and you get notified.
Already have a site? Keep it. We add a chat assistant, a sticky Book now button, missed-call text-back, lead routing to your phone and review requests on top of what you have.
Sample companies for illustration only.
Website that works for you
No website? We build one.
If you don't have a site, or yours doesn't bring in calls, we build a fast, mobile-friendly one with booking, quote requests and the bots above built in. It runs on the same low-cost setup we use ourselves, and it's in your name: your domain, your accounts. You own it. We hand you the keys.
Want us to keep it updated? An optional care plan covers changes and upkeep. Quoted after a short call.
