Car detailing software: bookings, packages & add-ons

Car detailers: book the package, the size and the add-ons online. No more pricing by text.

Prices sent by text, bookings stuck in DMs and mobile jobs zigzagging all over town. We build booking systems for car detailers that price by vehicle size, package and condition. They group mobile jobs by suburb and take the deposit up front. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for car detailing booking software that actually prices the job?

Every detail is priced differently. A hatchback maintenance wash is a different job to a family SUV with two kids, a labrador and a beach weekend in the carpet. So every enquiry turns into a back and forth over Instagram, Facebook and text before anyone has booked anything. Meanwhile you're in someone's driveway with wet hands and a phone buzzing in your pocket.

Wollopit builds custom software for car detailers around how you actually work. Customers pick their car size, package and add-ons online and see a real price. Mobile jobs land on days you're already in their area. Deposits stop the no-shows. Ceramic coating customers get their maintenance washes booked without you chasing them. We connect the tools you already like, replace the ones holding you back and host the lot on our own servers.

01The problems

What we hear from car detailers

Does your car detailing business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

Most detailers we talk to are brilliant with a polisher and run the business from a phone between jobs. It works until the weekend fills up and the DMs don't stop.

  • The problemEvery enquiry wants a price'How much for a full detail?' Then the back and forth about car size, dog hair and whether the seats are leather.
    How we fix itOnline pricing by vehicle size and package, with condition questions that adjust the price before they book.
  • The problemBookings scattered across appsInstagram DMs, Facebook messages, texts and a missed call or two. Something always slips through.
    How we fix itOne booking link for your bio, Google profile and website, all feeding one calendar.
  • The problemDriving all over townNoosa at 8am, Caloundra at 11 and back up to Coolum by 2. Half the day is fuel and traffic.
    How we fix itService areas by suburb with set days, so customers only see slots when you're already nearby.
  • The problemNo-shows and late cancelsYou turn up and the car has gone to work. Or they cancel the night before a four-hour job.
    How we fix itDeposits at booking, a clear cancellation policy and SMS reminders the day before.
  • The problemThe car's worse than they said'It's just a bit dusty' turns out to be sand, pet hair and a spilt milkshake from last summer.
    How we fix itCondition photos uploaded at booking and preset surcharges for pet hair, sand and heavy soiling.
  • The problemAdd-ons never get offeredHeadlight restoration, engine bays and ceramic sprays sell easily face to face. Online, nobody asks.
    How we fix itAdd-ons suggested in the booking by vehicle and package, priced and timed automatically.
  • The problemRain wipes out the dayA wet Saturday means ringing six customers one by one to reshuffle the mobile run.
    How we fix itReschedule a whole day in one go, with an SMS offering each customer their next available slots.
  • The problemDamage claims after the jobA customer finds a scratch a week later and swears it wasn't there before you touched it.
    How we fix itBefore and after photos on your phone, an inspection checklist and a signed condition report saved to every job.
  • The problemCeramic customers drift awayYou coat a car, hand over the care sheet and never see it again. The warranty quietly lapses.
    How we fix itA coating register with warranty dates, maintenance wash reminders and booking links that do the chasing.
  • The problemFleet and dealer work by emailCar yards and fleet managers email lists of regos and you invoice the lot by hand at month end.
    How we fix itA fleet portal where accounts book vehicles in bulk at their own pricing, with monthly invoices into Xero or MYOB.
  • The problemPayments chased after the jobBank transfer 'later', cash in the console and no invoice sent until Sunday night.
    How we fix itTap to pay on your phone when you finish, balances charged automatically and receipts sent on the spot.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole detailing business, on one system.

These are the systems detailers ask us about most. Each one works on its own. Joined up, they save you hours every week.

Package booking

Pick the car, pick the package, see the price.

Customers choose their vehicle size, package and add-ons and get a real price before they book. Condition questions and photos catch the sandy 4WDs and hairy back seats before you turn up, so nobody gets a surprise on the day.

  • Packages priced by vehicle size
  • Hatch, sedan, SUV, 4WD, ute and van
  • Durations that block the right time
  • Add-ons suggested per package
  • Condition photos at booking
  • Pet hair and heavy soiling surcharges
  • Deposits and cancellation policy
  • Gift vouchers redeemed at checkout
  • One link for Instagram, Facebook and Google

Mobile service areas

Stop driving the whole coast in one day.

Suburbs are grouped into zones with their own run days. Customers only see slots when you're already in their area. Your day is ordered so the van does one loop instead of three.

  • Suburbs grouped into service zones
  • Set run days per zone
  • Travel fees for outer suburbs
  • Slots only shown when you're nearby
  • Day ordered by drive time
  • Water and power access noted per job
  • Rain day reschedule in one go
  • SMS on the way with your arrival time
  • Multiple vans and detailers

Job sheets & condition reports

Photos first. Arguments never.

Every job opens with a checklist for the package and a walk-around with photos of the existing marks. The customer signs off on your phone and the report is saved to their file, so a scratch claim next week takes ten seconds to settle.

  • Checklist per package
  • Walk-around photos before you start
  • Mark existing damage on a car diagram
  • Customer signature on your phone
  • After photos sent with the invoice
  • Products and chemicals used per job
  • Notes for next time
  • Before and after shots for your gallery

Coatings & maintenance plans

Coat it once. Keep them for years.

Every ceramic coating goes into a register with the product, layers and warranty dates. Maintenance washes and inspections remind themselves. Regulars can go on a plan that bills automatically and books on their run day.

  • Coating register per vehicle
  • Product, layers and cure notes
  • Warranty dates and inspection reminders
  • Care instructions sent after the job
  • Maintenance wash plans on subscription
  • Automatic billing and card retries
  • Plan washes booked on their run day
  • Lapsed customers flagged for a follow-up

Fleet & dealer accounts

Bulk work booked in, invoiced without the spreadsheet.

Car yards, rental fleets and local businesses get their own login with their agreed rates. They add regos, pick packages and see what's done. Invoices go into Xero or MYOB at the end of the month.

  • Account logins with their own pricing
  • Bulk booking by rego
  • Recurring fleet washes
  • Job photos visible to the account
  • Purchase order numbers on invoices
  • Monthly invoices into Xero or MYOB
  • Overdue account reminders

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your car detailing business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We ride along on a run, look at your DMs and calendar and work out where the hours are actually going.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your packages, car sizes, service areas, add-ons, coatings, fleet accounts, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually online package booking first, so the pricing texts stop before your next busy weekend.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things car detailers ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

Can customers see a real price before they book?

Yes. They pick their vehicle size, package and add-ons and see the price straight away. Condition questions and photos let you add surcharges for pet hair or heavy soiling before the day.

Can it handle mobile and workshop jobs together?

Yes. Mobile bookings follow your service areas and run days while workshop jobs use your bay times. It all sits in one calendar.

Can we take deposits and stop no-shows?

Yes. Deposits are taken at booking with your cancellation policy attached and SMS reminders go out the day before. The balance can be charged when you finish.

What happens when it rains?

You can move a whole day of mobile jobs in one go. Each customer gets an SMS with their next available slots to pick from.

Can we sell gift vouchers?

Yes. Vouchers can be bought online for a package or a dollar amount and redeemed in the booking.

We already use Jobber or Square Appointments. Do we have to switch?

No. If your current tools are doing the job, we build around them and add what's missing, like package pricing, service areas or a coating register. If something's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve first.

How much does a car detailing system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller jobs like online package booking can be quick. Bigger systems are built in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most car detailers we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
