Online booking for car detailers
Customers book a wash, an interior clean or a full detail at their own driveway, and tell you the car, its size, its condition and whether there's a tap and a power point. Every job waits for your OK.
No monthly fee · Card, bank or cash · Works with your website · $20 launch credit
What a detailer needs from booking software
The car before the job
Make, model and size, what needs attention, where the car will be and whether water and power are on site, all asked when they book and kept with the booking.
Quote the paint, book the rest
Washes, interior and full details are fixed-price and arrive as requests you confirm. A cut and polish is quoted: your page shows Price on quote, the request arrives with the condition notes, and you put your price on it when you confirm.
A deposit on the pre-sale detail
A pre-sale detail holds a 20% deposit on the customer's card when it's booked, charged when you confirm, into your own Stripe account. Everything else is paid on the day.
A detailing booking page, with your services already on it
Pick Mobile car detailing at sign-up and these services, prices and booking questions are pre-filled. Change anything, or let AI draft them for you.
One full detail, from the booking to the driveway
He books from your Facebook page
He picks Full detail (interior & exterior), Saturday at 8 am, and says it's a 2019 Kluger, SUV, dog hair in the back and sap on the roof, it'll be in the driveway, and there's a tap but no outdoor power point.
It waits for your OK
The request shows up on your phone with everything he wrote. You confirm it between jobs and he gets the confirmation; the address is one tap from the booking and opens in Google Maps.
The day before
A free email reminder goes out to him. You already know to bring the generator and the pet-hair brush, so Saturday starts on time.
Done. Now the invoice
$260 by card, bank transfer or cash, however he wants to pay. Record it and the invoice goes out on its own, a GST tax invoice if you're registered. He books the next one from the same link.
You do the work.
We'll handle the money.
Take a card deposit when they book — through your own Stripe account, so the money lands with you, never with us. Settle the rest by card, bank transfer or cash and the invoice goes out on its own — a GST tax invoice if you’re registered. No monthly fee: 1.5% on card payments, 50¢ when you record a cash or bank payment.
Questions detailers ask us
Do I have to accept every booking?
No. The Mobile car detailing setup sends every booking to you as a request. Nothing is confirmed until you approve it, and you can message the customer first about the condition or the address.
How do I price by vehicle size?
The booking asks the vehicle size (hatch, sedan, SUV, ute or van, people mover), so you know before you confirm. Keep one price per service, or add a service per size, like Full detail — SUV, and customers pick the right one.
Can I quote a cut and polish?
Yes. Cut & polish / paint correction is set to quote per job: your page shows Price on quote instead of a price, and the request arrives with the condition notes. Ask for photos by SMS if you need them, put your quote on it when you confirm, and adjust the final amount when you settle.
I run a fixed car wash, not a mobile service. Does it work?
Yes. Change each service's location to your own address and the booking stops asking for theirs. Remove the parking and water-and-power questions from the booking form, and customers pick a time, you confirm, they drive in.
Can I take a deposit?
Yes. The pre-sale detail holds a 20% deposit on the customer's card when it's booked, charged when you confirm. Set any percentage on any priced service; card payments go through your own Stripe account.
How much does it cost a detailer?
There is no monthly fee. GoBookka charges 1.5% on card payments and 50c when you record a cash or bank transfer payment, and every new business gets $20 of launch credit at signup.
