Websites and booking for detailing, PPF and ceramic studios
Your customers are about to spend real money on their car. Give them a site that shows exactly what each package covers, lets them try a tint shade, and takes a booking request that names the car and the work. Then make sure every call you miss in the booth gets a text back.

01Where jobs go
Where detailing jobs slip away.
- 08:40
Gloves on, phone ringing
You're halfway through correcting black paint. The phone rings out, and the caller with a new Model Y tries the next studio on Google before you've rinsed your hands.
- 13:15
"How much for full front?"
The same question arrives by call, text and Instagram, worded three ways. Without a page that shows what full front covers, every answer turns into a ten-minute call.
- 17:30
The quote that went quiet
You priced a ceramic job on Tuesday and never heard back. Nobody followed up, because the enquiry was never written down anywhere you'd see it again.
- 21:10
Comparing studios from the sofa
Someone looks at three studios on their phone at night. The one whose site opens quickly, shows real work and takes a booking request without a phone call gets the message.
02The arithmetic
One recovered job usually covers it.
Detailing has a small team and a high price per job. That makes every unanswered call expensive, and the fix cheap by comparison: if your average job is worth more than the missed-call responder costs, the first customer it brings back has paid for it.
For example: 5 missed calls a week, and 20% of those callers would have booked a $450 job. That's about 4 jobs a month, or $1,950. Your numbers will differ, so try yours below.

The Missed-call responder is $199, once, at launch pricing (then $399).
Calls you miss × 4.33 weeks × the share who'd have booked × the average job. The starting numbers are an example, not a statistic: set them from your own call log.
03Show, don't explain

In Arizona, film on the front side windows must let through at least 33% of the light. 35% is within it. Behind the driver there is no shade limit.

Shades are visible light transmission: the lower the number, the darker the glass. Film figures are typical for the class, not one brand's specification.

06Compared
Three ways to take a booking.
| Question | Phone only | Contact form | Booking request |
|---|---|---|---|
| Works while you're in the booth | No: the call rings out | Yes | Yes |
| You know the car and the work before replying | Only if you pick up | Sometimes, if they think to say | Always: vehicle and services are steps one and two |
| You can price it before you call back | No | Rarely | Usually, from your own price list |
| The customer knows it arrived | Only if you call back | Depends on the form | A confirmation on screen, and your reply by text or call |
| Day and time | Agreed on the call | Back and forth | They pick from the days you're open; you confirm |
A booking request never takes payment and never confirms a booking by itself: you confirm every one. Pair it with the missed-call responder so callers who'd rather phone aren't lost either.
?Questions
Questions detailers ask.
- Can the site show my real prices?
- Yes, once you've confirmed them. Until then a service reads "Quote" or "Priced on inspection". A price on your site is a promise to a customer, so nothing goes up that you haven't signed off.
- Do I need the 3D car?
- No. The 3D car is the flagship's showpiece, loaded only on devices that can run it, with a still image everywhere else. Your site can lead with your own photographs instead and still have the coverage switcher and the tint previewer.
- How does the tint previewer deal with the law?
- It flags any front-window shade darker than your state allows. The AZ Detailers preview is set to Arizona, where film on the front side windows must let through at least 33% of the light. We set it to the figure for your state, which you confirm.
- Where do booking requests go?
- To you, by email, text or WhatsApp, whichever you check. Each one names the vehicle, the services and the day the customer would like. You call or text back to confirm.
- What happens when I miss a call?
- With the missed-call responder, the caller gets a text within seconds asking about the car, you get an alert with their number, and the call is logged in a sheet that updates when they reply. You can call our demo line to try it.
- How long does it take?
- The website: Ready in under 3 days, once we have your details. The missed-call responder: Ready in under 5 days, once we have your details. (plus phone-line activation time)
A flagship site for your studio.
Your packages, your prices, your photographs and hours, and nobody left listening to a phone ring out.
