Everything you need to know about DetailBook
Unlike a generic appointment booking system, DetailBook is car detailing business software built specifically for mobile car detailing businesses in the UK. We understand the unique challenges you face — from water access issues to vehicle-specific pricing. Our detailing scheduling software handles detailing-specific needs like photo uploads, custom equipment questions, and multi-day services that other platforms simply can't manage. Generic schedulers can't capture this critical information, which means more back-and-forth messages and wasted trips.
Absolutely! DetailBook is perfect car detailing business software for both new and established mobile detailers. Setup takes about 15 minutes: add your services, set your prices, customize your booking form with your logo and colors, and share your booking link. Our detailing scheduling software is designed to be plug-and-play with no coding, no complicated integrations, and no website required. If you can use Instagram, you can use DetailBook.
DetailBook is purpose-built detailing scheduling software and appointment booking system that understands you're traveling to customers. We let you ask location-specific questions (parking, water access), set travel time buffers between jobs, and block out areas or dates. You choose how customers book: Instant Booking (customer pays immediately), Price Confirmation (you verify before confirming), or Custom Quote (customer uploads photos for personalized pricing). Switch between models anytime as your business grows.
Ask anything you need! Common examples: "Do you have water access or an outdoor tap?", "Is there parking available?", "What's your gate code?", "What's your apartment/flat number?", "Is the vehicle heavily soiled?". You can create unlimited custom questions with dropdown menus, checkboxes, short text, or long text fields. Mark any question as required to ensure you get critical information before every job.
DetailBook Pro is £50/month — that's less than £2 a day, or the cost of one mini valet. This includes everything: unlimited bookings, full branding, custom questions, all three pricing models, SMS reminders, deposit collection, add-ons, and more. Generic booking systems charge £20-35/month for basic features that weren't built for detailers. With DetailBook, you get purpose-built software that actually understands your business. We offer a 14-day free trial with no card required — test everything risk-free before you pay a penny.
Yes, absolutely. There are no contracts or cancellation fees. You can cancel your subscription anytime from your dashboard, and you'll keep access until the end of your billing period. We believe booking software should help grow your business, not lock you into long-term commitments. If DetailBook isn't right for you, we'd rather you find a solution that works better.
Deposits are collected securely through Stripe at the time of booking. Customers can pay using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any major credit/debit card — businesses see up to 22% higher conversion with digital wallet options. You set the deposit amount per service (e.g., £10, £20, or a percentage of the booking). The deposit is automatically deducted from the final balance. Customers who pay upfront are far more committed to showing up, dramatically reducing no-shows.
SMS reminders are sent automatically 24 hours before each appointment. The message includes the customer's name, service booked, date, time, and address. With a 98% open rate (compared to just 20% for email), your customers will actually see and remember their appointment. Studies show SMS reminders reduce no-shows by up to 38%. Messages are sent from your business name for a professional appearance. This feature is included in the Professional plan at no extra cost.
DetailBook is currently built specifically for UK mobile detailers, with GBP pricing and UK-focused features. We're exploring expansion to other countries in the future — if you're interested in DetailBook for your region, get in touch and let us know!
