03 — Included-
Custom booking website
A hand-designed storefront where customers pick a package and a time — built for your brand, never a template.
-
Deposits that stop no-shows
Take a card deposit or full prepay at booking via Stripe or Square. When a three-hour slot is on the line, a deposit is the difference between a full day and a wasted one.
-
A package menu, priced by vehicle
Interior, exterior, ceramic, full detail — laid out like a storefront, with pricing that adjusts for cars, trucks, and vans.
-
Mobile-detailing ready
Serve customers at their address, collect the location at booking, and set a service area — booking works whether they come to you or you go to them.
-
Text & email reminders
Automatic reminders before the appointment and a “your car’s ready” note at pickup — fewer no-shows, smoother days.
-
Owner dashboard
Today’s jobs, deposits taken, and revenue on one screen — your whole day at a glance.
-
Loyalty, if it fits
Optional punch-card loyalty for the wash-and-go side of your business — every Nth visit free, tracked by phone. Turn it on only if it makes sense.
-
Promotions & win-back
Launch a seasonal package in one click, or auto-nudge customers who haven’t booked a detail in a while.
-
Review requests
After a detail, send a one-tap link to leave a Google review — the reputation that wins “auto detailing near me.”
Why detailers put booking — and deposits — online.
Detailing sells time, not volume. A full detail can hold three or four hours of your day, so a single no-show isn’t a minor annoyance — it’s the whole afternoon. That’s why the most useful thing an auto detailing website can do isn’t just take a booking; it’s take a deposit. A card on file at booking turns a maybe into a commitment, and the customers who’d flake quietly select themselves out.
Booking also lets you sell the way detailers actually quote. Your packages — interior, exterior, ceramic, full detail — priced by vehicle, presented like a storefront instead of buried in a DM thread. And because it’s mobile-detailing ready, the same flow can collect an address and hold to your service area, whether the customer comes to you or you drive to them.
The website earns the customer in the first place. A fast, mobile-friendly site with your real packages, prices, service area, and before-and-after photos is what Google rewards — and it pairs with your Google Business Profile so customers searching “auto detailing near me” find you. We’re a San Diego software studio, and we build and run the whole thing for you: site, booking, deposits, and dashboard.

Questions
Can I take a deposit when a customer books? +
Yes — and for detailing it’s the headline feature. Take a card deposit or full prepay at booking through Stripe or Square, so a high-ticket, multi-hour slot doesn’t vanish into a no-show. You choose which packages require it.
Do I build the website myself? +
No — that’s the point. We design and build a custom storefront for your detailing business. You don’t touch HTML or templates; you get a finished site and a simple dashboard, and we run it.
Does this work for mobile detailing? +
Yes. The booking flow can collect the customer’s address, and you can set a service area — so it works whether customers come to your shop or you drive to them.
Can I price packages differently for trucks and vans? +
Yes. Your package menu can price by vehicle type, the way detailers actually quote — a full detail on a lifted truck isn’t the same job as a sedan, and the site reflects that.
How is this different from Wix, Squarespace, or a website builder? +
Builders hand you a blank template, and deposits and booking are clunky add-ons. We hand-design the whole system for a detailer — package booking, deposits, reminders, and an owner dashboard — and manage it for you.
Will this help me show up on Google? +
A fast, mobile-friendly site with your real packages, prices, service area, and photos is what Google rewards, and it pairs with your Google Business Profile so customers searching “auto detailing near me” find you. Ranking still takes reviews and time, but the foundation is right.
What does it cost? +
A one-time build plus a simple monthly platform fee — no hourly surprises. We’ll scope the exact number after you apply; it depends on your services and design.
Do you work outside San Diego, and do I own my data? +
Yes on both. We’re a San Diego software studio, but Arcbay is fully managed and remote — we work with detailers anywhere in the US. Your customers, bookings, and domain are yours; we build and host the software, you keep the relationship.
