Add-ons are where the money is, and where it goes missing
Interior shampoo, pet hair, engine bay, headlight restoration — each is its own priced item on the appointment, so what got added in the bay reaches the ticket.
A detail is booked against the car, not just the name on the phone. QuixChex keeps the make, the plate and what was done last time on the vehicle, holds the before and after shots, and takes the payment when they collect.
How an appointment runs
The car is booked in against its own record. The detailer takes the before shot, works the package and whatever was added to it, then takes the after shot. The ready notice goes out, payment is taken at the counter when they collect, and the next detail is set twelve weeks out.
Against the car, not just the customer — the plate, the paint notes and what was done last time are already on it.
A ceramic top-up or an interior shampoo added while it is in the bay lands on the appointment, not on a note by the counter.
The before and after go to the owner when it is finished. Payment is taken at the counter and the next detail is set twelve weeks out.
Car finished. Owner shown. Paid.
Interior shampoo, pet hair, engine bay, headlight restoration — each is its own priced item on the appointment, so what got added in the bay reaches the ticket.
The vehicle is the record. Make, model, plate and the paint notes from last time sit on the car, so nobody has to ask which one this is.
One tap sends the ready notice with the before and after attached, so the front desk isn't ringing round at closing time.
Day one
Tell QuixChex you run an auto detailing business and it sets the account up around how the work actually happens — before you've typed anything.
Make, model and year, plate or VIN, and the paint notes — filled in once and already there the next time it comes in.
Two shots on the appointment, kept against the vehicle, so the owner sees the difference and you have the condition on file.
Tells the owner the vehicle is ready to collect and sends the photos with it, instead of the front desk ringing round at five.
Wash, interior, ceramic, paint correction, pet hair — each priced on its own, so what was added in the bay is on the ticket.
Take the payment when they collect, card or ACH, and the receipt goes out on its own.
A detail is a cycle. The next appointment is offered at the interval you set instead of waiting for the owner to think of it.
FAQ
Yes. A package is a priced item and each add-on is its own, so a wash with an interior shampoo and pet-hair removal rings up as exactly that.
Yes. A mobile appointment carries the address it's at and the detailer assigned to it, and payment is taken on the spot instead of invoiced later — the same booking and the same register as shop work.
Rebooking is offered at twelve weeks, which is what the account starts with. Change it to whatever interval your customers actually run.
Yes. A booking whose time has come and gone with nobody marking it finished, cancelled or a no-show is counted on the report as its own figure, and what is sitting in those slots is totalled beside the count. A week can look clean on the board and still have work in it nobody billed.
No. A detailing account bills per visit — there’s no recurring charge in it, and nothing counts washes down. Sell a package as one sale at the counter and book the visits against the customer if you like, but how many they have left is yours to keep track of.
No. It’s an email, with the before and after shots in the body and your shop’s name on it. Nothing here sends texts, so an owner who never opens email is one you still have to call.
A short call, on your own services and your own customers. We'll show you what the first week looks like, and talk through what it would take to get you there.
