Well, currently I'm signing up for Carwashy's platform (http://carwashy.com)- looks promising and they have a free plan (if you do less than 100 bookings/month). They give you a lot of tools to get more customers easily. I think what he means is for your customers, if you are looking to get more customers (ie. the ones that search for you online), you want to close them right when they land on your site. The way to do that is to allow them to schedule on your site and also pay.

I'm in a similar situation, have a look at http://carwashy.com

Well, define 'website' - if you are look for a 5 pager, then sure can be done by you. If you are looking for something that can get your customers, like one that has scheduling, taking orders online and managing everything in between. Then you can't really build that yourself (unless you spend a good 6 months on it).

A valid point. But what I meant actually do you run your own coupons, like for christmas deals? Also do you do subscription packages? Whats the typical rate people subscribe for? Monthly? Bimonthly?

Have you guys looked into services like http://www.carwashy.com ? They seem to provide an all in one solution specifically for detailers. Also, what do you use to remind customers/etc. do coupons/deals.?

Aside from car detailing, there's more to running a proper detailing business. I was wondering what everything uses to manage their business such as scheduling customer bookings, invoicing, taking payments, keeping in touch with customers, attracting new ones. Are their any specific strategies people use?

Hey guys, I've been a detailer for 5 years now, on and off. Currently working at wash.ly and looking to learn more
