CAR DETAILING BUSINESS AUTOMATION
More valets booked. Less time on the phone. Same hours.
You can't answer calls with your hands covered in polish or halfway through a ceramic coat. Booking requests, review asks, reminders, and rebooking for seasonal protection all pile up around the jobs you're actually doing. Resolves automates all of it so you can finish the car in front of you and still get your evening back.
No obligation. Setup included.
Automation that keeps your diary full
-
Recover lost revenue
When you're mid-polish or wrapped up in a full interior detail, the phone rings out. That enquiry about a ceramic coating or a new car protection package goes straight to the next detailer on Google who actually answers. Automation catches those leaks in the background, so no booking slips through while you're working on a car.
-
Build your Google reputation
After every finished valet or correction, your customer gets a text asking for a review while the car is still gleaming on the drive. One tap takes them straight to your Google profile, no searching required. Detailers who ask consistently see their review count grow 3–5× within the first month, which pushes them higher up local search.
-
Get your evenings back
You shouldn't be sat there at 8pm replying to Instagram messages and confirming tomorrow's mobile bookings. Resolves handles the follow-ups, booking confirmations, and seasonal rebooking prompts automatically. When the last car's done, you're done.
CAR DETAILING AUTOMATION TOOLS
More valets, less admin
Online booking for car detailing jobs
Phone tag costs you bookings. While you're trying to pin down a time between a full valet and a paint correction, the customer's already booked the mobile detailer down the road who let them do it online. Letting people book directly cuts out the back-and-forth completely.
- Customers book directly from your Google listing, your website, or a link you text or DM them
- You set your own availability windows, job types (valet, correction, ceramic coating), and coverage areas so there are never any double-bookings
- Confirmations and reminders go out automatically, so both sides know exactly what's happening and when
Review generation for car detailers
Your competitor has 60 Google reviews full of before-and-after photos. You've got a handful. Customers judge a detailer on those photos and star ratings before they ever pick up the phone, and Google uses them to decide who shows up first in local search. The difference usually isn't the quality of the finish. It's who asks.
- An automatic SMS review request goes out right after the job, when the customer's stood admiring their car
- One-tap link takes them straight to your Google review page, so there's nothing to figure out
- If someone isn't happy with the finish, they're prompted to contact you first so you can sort it before it goes public
Appointment reminders for detailing jobs
You drive the van to a mobile booking with a boot full of kit and nobody's home, or the car's still filthy from the school run and there's no time left for the correction they booked. A simple text reminder the day before and morning of stops this happening.
- Automated SMS reminders go out 24 hours and 2 hours before every appointment
- Customers can confirm, reschedule, or cancel with a quick reply, and you see it straight away
- Cuts no-shows by up to 40%, which means less wasted drive time and more cars through the diary
Missed-call text-back for car detailers
You can't always pick up, especially mid-polish with wet hands or deep into a ceramic coat that can't be paused. But the customer doesn't need to know that. An instant text reply buys you time and keeps the lead warm until you can call back.
- A personalised text goes out within seconds of every missed call, with your business name and a link to book
- Covers evenings and weekends too, so out-of-hours enquiries about weekend valets don't go cold overnight
- Every missed call is logged with the caller's details so nothing slips through the cracks
Automation that grafts as hard as you do
-
Rebooking Automation
When a customer's ceramic coating maintenance wash or seasonal protection top-up is due, they get an automatic reminder from you. They rebook because you're the detailer who remembered, not someone they found on a fresh Google search.
-
Automated Marketing
Pre-winter protection campaigns, spring valet pushes after the salt and grit season, and re-engagement messages during quieter months. Everything goes out automatically under your business name, keeping you front of mind without you writing a single message.
-
Quote Follow-Up
When a quote for a ceramic coating or full correction detail goes quiet, the customer gets an automatic follow-up from you a few days later. High-ticket work is rarely lost on price alone, it's lost to silence, and this keeps the booking conversation alive without you chasing.
-
Payment Reminders
Outstanding balances for valets, details, and fleet work get chased automatically with polite reminders sent under your business name. You get paid without ever having the awkward "just checking on that invoice" conversation.
-
Custom Workflows
Things like booking deposit requests for paint correction packages, ceramic coating warranty check-ins, and fleet contract renewals can all be automated with a workflow built around how you actually work. If there's admin you find yourself repeating, we can probably take it off your plate.
-
Business Dashboard
A clear view of how many leads came in, how many turned into bookings, and what each month's coatings and valets brought in. It takes the guesswork out of knowing what's working and where your next job is coming from.
Frequently asked questions
What is car detailing business automation?
It's a set of tools that handle the admin side of running a detailing business for you. That includes things like missed-call replies, appointment reminders, review requests, rebooking prompts for ceramic coating maintenance, and seasonal marketing campaigns. The idea is simple: you focus on the finish, and the system takes care of the rest in the background.
I run a one-van mobile detailing business. Is this worth it for a solo operation?
It's actually where it makes the biggest difference. When you're the only person in the business, there's nobody to answer the phone, follow up quotes, or chase reviews while you're on site doing a full valet. That's exactly where the most revenue gets lost. Even recovering one extra booking a week or cutting a couple of no-shows covers the cost several times over.
What exactly does Resolves automate?
Online booking so customers self-serve, appointment reminders that cut no-shows, review requests after every job, missed-call text-back so leads don't go cold, rebooking prompts for seasonal protection and ceramic coating maintenance, and marketing campaigns that run on autopilot. You choose which automations to switch on.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at £49/month with setup included. There are no contracts, so you can cancel anytime. Most detailers find it pays for itself within the first week just by recovering one or two bookings that would have otherwise been missed. You can see the full breakdown on our pricing page.
I'm not very tech-savvy. Is it hard to set up?
We handle everything. During your free audit, we configure all automations, connect your phone number, and test the system. You approve the setup and it runs in the background. No apps to learn, no dashboards to check daily.
Can it handle seasonal demand and busy periods?
Yes. You can adjust availability windows for busy spring and pre-winter periods, and the system still catches every enquiry even when you're fully booked. Customers who can't get a slot are automatically offered your next available date instead of giving up and calling someone else.
How quickly can I get started?
Most detailers are fully live within 48 hours of the free audit. We handle all the technical setup ourselves, including call forwarding, message templates, and automation rules. Before anything goes live, we walk you through the whole thing so you're comfortable with how it works.
