Arcbay for car washes — websites, done for you
Arcbay is our fully-managed booking & operations platform for local auto care — and this is the car-wash edition. We hand-build the whole system: a custom booking site, punch-card loyalty, automatic reminders, and an owner dashboard that speaks your wash’s language. Not a template you wrestle with. A finished system we run for you.
A customer books on your site. It shows up on your dashboard instantly. That’s the whole loop — watch it run:

We design & build
We hand-design a storefront for your brand and wire up booking, loyalty, and your dashboard. Bespoke — never a template.
Connect your domain
We point it at your domain (or get you one) and load your real services, hours, and prices.
Go live
You get the keys: your site, your dashboard login, and a quick walkthrough. We stay on to support it.
We design every storefront by hand for your brand — that’s what makes it yours, and why there’s a short application instead of an instant sign-up.
Custom booking website
A hand-designed storefront where customers pick a service and time — built for your brand, never a template.
Punch-card loyalty
Every Nth wash free, tracked by phone — enforced server-side so it can’t be gamed.
Text & email reminders
Automatic appointment reminders and a “your car’s ready” text when it’s done — fewer no-shows, happier regulars.
Front-desk kiosk
An iPad check-in that greets customers and shows loyalty progress — no personal info on screen.
Promotions & sales
Launch a holiday sale in one click, blast an offer to your list, or auto win-back customers who’ve gone quiet.
Owner dashboard
Approvals, walk-ins, today’s schedule, and revenue reports — your whole day on one screen, in car-wash terms.
Online payments
Optional deposits or prepay via Stripe or Square. Or stay pay-in-person — your call.
Staff time clock
Optional employee clock-in by PIN or face, with shifts and hours — turn it on only if you want it.
Review requests
After a wash, send a one-tap link to leave a Google review — the reputation that wins “car wash near me.”
Most car washes still take bookings by phone and walk-in. That works until a Saturday rush — when the phone rings off the hook, the line backs up, and customers who can’t get through simply drive to the next wash. An online booking system for your car wash lets customers reserve a service and a time from their phone, day or night, without tying up your front desk.
It also brings them back. A punch-card loyalty program — every Nth wash free, tracked by phone number — turns one-time washes into regulars, and automatic win-back emails nudge customers who haven’t visited in a while. The result is fewer no-shows, smoother Saturdays, and more repeat revenue.
And the website itself is your best salesperson. A fast, mobile-friendly car wash website with your real services, prices, hours, and location is exactly what Google rewards — and it works hand in hand with your Google Business Profile so local customers searching “car wash near me” find you, not a competitor. We’re a San Diego software studio, and we build the whole thing for you: site, booking, loyalty, and dashboard, fully managed.
A hand-wash car wash in Santee, in business 25+ years. We built their booking site, punch-card loyalty (every 8th wash free), and staff dashboard. It’s the exact system you’d get — designed for them, top to bottom.
“We get $300 details booked from the website almost every day now.” — Owner, Magnolia Car Wash

Tell us a bit about your wash and we’ll reach out to scope it. No account, no payment — just a conversation.
No — that’s the point. We design and build a custom storefront for your wash. You don’t touch HTML or templates; you get a finished site and a simple dashboard.
Most washes go live within a couple of weeks of applying, depending on how fast we nail down your branding, services, and domain.
It’s a simple monthly fee for the platform plus a one-time build. We’ll talk specifics after you apply — it depends on your services and design.
Yes. Your site works on any phone — customers pick a service and time, and the booking lands on your dashboard instantly. Most car-wash bookings happen on mobile.
Builders hand you a blank template to wrestle with, and the booking/loyalty pieces are clunky add-ons. We hand-design the whole system for your wash — booking, punch-card loyalty, and an owner dashboard — and manage it for you.
A fast, mobile-friendly site with your real services, hours, and location is what Google wants to rank — and it pairs with your Google Business Profile. We build the site to be indexable and quick; ranking still depends on reviews and time, but the foundation is right.
Yes, optionally — deposits or prepay through Stripe or Square. Many washes stay pay-in-person; it’s your call.
Yes. We’re a San Diego software studio and built Magnolia Car Wash in Santee, but Arcbay is fully managed and remote — we work with washes anywhere in the US.
Yes. Your customers, bookings, and domain are yours. We build and host the software; you keep the relationship.
